The balance in the sinking fund now
to the credit of profits from the North
Carolina Railroad is s75,600, which,
however, Treasurer Worth says, is not
kept as separate fund. The surplus
yearly put aside by the State is $40, 800,
based upon the following figures: Amount
of interest on the states $4,000, 900 Of
stock under the old lease at per cent,
$3.50, 900; amount of interest paid out on
the new skies 81, 720, 000), 1888, 200,
leaving the balance as above, $4,000.
This has been put aside for the last four
and half years, making $4,000. Be-
fore that, Treasurer Worth has lost sight
of the figures.
Concerning the arrangements just
completed by the Southern Railway to
go into Norfolk from Raleigh, the Bal
timore Sun has this to say; 1.-THE South
ern Railway Company has completed ar
engagements with the authorities of Nor
folk, Va, for the lease of terminal prop
erty from the city. This secures the en-
trance of the Southern Railway into Nor
folk. The contract will doubtless prove
beneficial all round. The railway wan
ted to reach deep water and this lease
secures it, whilst the city of Norfolk will
be greatly benefited in becoming the
deep water terminus of this great rail
way system, which is fast securing 8
perfect network of roads through the
South and Southwest.
