Jay continued its hearing. Thomas
II. Hubbard appeared to argue that As
far rs the Central Pacific was con.
cerned, " fully performed Its obligs-
tions ~ the government He under
took to answer the allegations OF tho
A nderaon report. Whatever existed
IN the minds OF the public adverse TO

the former proposed 10 extent the debt

Taking up the minority report OF the

exaggerated, producing fabulous ng-
ures ~ 10 the profits VI tho construc-
tors OF the road, based on compound
interest for thirty years.
Applying the same method OF reA.

The report placed tho amount realized

said IL was apparent that the road had

The grounds upon which these ques-

not that the obligations OF the CON-

the assets were diverted by undue

unless the profit TO the contractors was
limited by tho provisions OF tho act,
