TO Richmond. the channel was crooked
and obstructed by dangerous rocks and
ledges the Dutch-Gap cutoff was not
then open. and the liver was in poor
condition as regards lis availability for
commercial purposes.
The original project for improvement
was TO secure depth Of eighteen feet
a. full tide Corresponding to l4.5 feet
at low tide to Richmond. with a chan
mel width Of lsO feet. This project
had reached an advanced stage Of pro-
grcss when Congress. by act approved

Here the Superintendent refers to the
new depot, in substance as above, and
continuing says;
The company has now finished its
line with steel rails, of which 1000
tons are charged to the current ex-
penses Of the year. An eXpreSs-car
and large passenger engine have been
added to its equipment, and their cost
is included in the current expense ac-
count.
The track has been fully maintained,
and is in good condition.
An agreement recently entered into,
by which this company becomes joint
owner in the sleeping-car equipment,
will, to a great extent. relieve it Of the
heavy amount heretofore paid on that
account.
No accident Of consequence has oc-
Cured. 1t seems proper to say, in this
connection. that no company is, in my
opinion, more faithfully served by It's
employees.
Respectfully submitted.
