Genius, energy and industry command
| admiration wherever displayed; to that
trait of the American people is due their
| remal kable success in the development Of
| the wonderful resources of this country.
| These attributes are eXemplfied in the
| highest degree in the construction OF rail
roads through IA new section Of the coun-
try, where, in addition to overc0min g
| engineering problems and other Difficult
| ties, the question of investing large sums
| Of money at great risk and without know
| ing that the returns will be satisfactory,
| is always present.
| The travelling public seldom consider
the efforts expended in giving them the
great conveniences which they are enjoy
| ing. The subscribers hereto, however,
desire to testify to their appreciation of
the great services rendered the people in
the construction and operation of the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad which gives
the City of Washington and the country
adjacent to the road direct route to the
Bay"
