ceipt of your esteemed favor OF the 18th
of September, on the subject Of the dis
examinations alleged to he made in favor of
what is known as the Virginia Consolida-
tion line of Railroads, and against the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad and its
connections.
agree entirely with the views which you
are pleased to express as TO the necessity Of
scouting such impartiality in the arrange
ments of schedules of rates and times for
traffic as will develop to the highest degree
possible the best interests Of the main
stem, as well as the feeders and connecting
roads, thereby promoting at the same time
the interests Of the States which have so
literally contributed, by their generous
legislation and their abundant grants of
means to build up and foster these great
internal lines of Improvement, aud also in
the opinion that a contrary course will have
a direct tendency TO injure the roads them
selves, as we'll as TO defeat the objects had
in view when they were projected by the
States.
This subject has, however, been recently
presented TO me for consideration in a YER
bal communication made by the President
OF the Orange aud Alexandria Railroad,
and | shall have the pleasure of laying your
letter before the Board of Public Works at
its first meeting, for such asctiOn as may be
deemed best calculated to promote the in
terest of the several roads and OF the State.
In the meantime, however, l propose to
address a communication TO the President
of tie Consolidation lines, and to M. Bar
bour, the President of the Orange aud Alex
andria Road, asking a meeting of these gen
temen, with view to secure, ii possible,
an adjustment of the difficulties.
Hoping that the course suggested may
meet with your approval, and that / may
be favored with any other views you may
have on the subject from time to time, l
have the honor to remain, with great respect,
Yours, truly, II. ii. WELLS.
