terminal point, while connections North
and South would BE complete. If Drum
Point is the excellent harbor it IS repre-
sented. and believed BY rs to be. it could
be made one of the largest and best coal
depots in the world. % The Potomac road
by its Pennsylvania connections, would
bring to It the anthracite coat from that
State, and the BALTIMORE and Ohio where
it intersects our road near. the Relay
House, could deliver its cars Of bitumin;-
Fous coal.
A connection with u would obviate the
ferryage at Ferry Bar, would remove the
necessity Of the erection Of depot build

ledge the many facilities extended to us 10
the prosecution of our work. and the eur
tesies offered us by other, corporations
during the year. Our thanks are due the
authorities Of Annapolis for allowing us
to accumulate and retain for such q length
of time SO much material on their whafves.
and for having granted Us authority tolay
down track through The streets Of their
city to convey this material to the Anna
polls and Ekridge road. = ".,s -

greatest obligations for innumerable acts
Of kindness. II FITS road has been constantly
open to us; our construction trains are
daily running over its track from Anna

| In the further route Of our road around
Baltimore we intersect the Baltimore and
Frederick turnpike and the Baltimore,
Catonsville and Ellicott City Passenger
Railway. Both these companies allowed
us to cross under them by excavating tc
the depth of twenty-one feet below The
present grade of said road and railway.
and by our constructing and keeping IN
repair an iron girder bridge over our road
way the whole width Of the turnpike.
which shall also have upon both sides
parapets or close fencing to obstruct the
view of passing trains. It will be observ-
led that we have located our road under
the beds of existing routes. Whilst this
has heightened our distance and added to
our expense largely. it obviates the great
danger of crossing at grade. assas..st.. :.
/ ENGINEERS REPORT.
We greatly regret the absence of our
Chief Engineers report, as it would have
been particularly interesting in this stage
Of the progress Of our work. It is caused
by the severe and protracted illness of
Mr.. Emack, which has been largely occa-
stoned by his too close application to the
duties of his Office. He has well-earned
the appreciation of the company.
The Assistant Engineers have given
the closest and most assiduous attention
to their respective duties. .as.
/ In closing this report, the President.
who, because Of official duties to the State,
could not give that attention to the affairl
| of the company which he otherwise should
have done, feels it most agreeable duty
to acknowledge the great services Of Vice
President DuBarry. and Mr.. Seabrooke,
the General Manager. The unwearied
energy. and 6ne experience Of the former,
and the strict. attention and systematic
labor of the latter have largely produced
the results detailed in this report. and
which We hope. will be esteemed satisfac-
tory by the Stockholders. $50. .sa.iss.t b
