the last Annual meeting was $433,295 72
The- debt of the Company now is $513,681 11
From which deduct amount of assets, 292,536 99
And we have the actual debt of the Com-pany

hands of the Trustee for the redemption of mortgage bonds.
The remainder amounting to $53,007.41, consisting of
old accounts atrainst individuals, other companies and the
State of North Carolina, as shown in the Secretary's ex-hibit,
may be considered as worthless, except probably
the amount of $1,000, which maybe collected from the
whole list. These accounts known to be worthless, ought
to be charged to profit and loss, so as not to appe&r as
assets from year to year.
You will see that the debtof the coinpany ismore now
than one year ago, which v,'as caused by a dividend be-ing
declared, three per cent, of which is not yet due, but

REMARKS.
According to the ierms of the lease made with the
Richmond & Danville Railroad Company, September
11th, 1871, the road bed, rolling stock, bridges, buildings
and all property belonging to this company is required
12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
to be examined by two experts in October of each year,
one selected by this company, and one by the Richmond
& Danville Railroad Company, and report to the Board
of Directors of this company whether the property is in
all respects in as good condition as when the lease was
made. Mr. William Murdock, of Salisbur}'^, was selected
on the part of the North Carolina Railroad Company,
and Col. T. J. Sumner, of Salisbury, on the part of the
Richmond & Danville Railroad Company. They went
over the entire length of the road and made the neces-sary
examination as required by the lease, and reported
to the Board of Directors of this Company on the 23d
day of October, 1876, which is as follows, viz :
Company Shops, N. C,
October 23d, 1876.
To the President and Board of Directors of the North Caro-lina
Railroad Company, and the Richmond ^ Danville
Railroad Company:
Gentlemen:—We have inspected the property of the
North Carolina Railroad Company leased to the Rich-mond
& Danville Railroad Company, and submit the fol-lowing
report
:
ROAD BED.
Considerable improvement has been made upon the
roail bed. It is more thoroughl}' ditched than heretofore,
and the ballasting has been well maintained, while par-ticular
attention has been given to moving the dirt and
rubbish from the ends of the cross ties, thus improving
the drainage, general appearance and stabilityof the road
NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD CO. 13
bed. We were pleased to see that some attention had
beei. bestowed upon the ri^^ht of way, in cleaning it of
trees and bushes, thus increasing the security of the
trains while improving the appearance of the property.
CROSS TIES.
The timber in the track is generally sound, a suffi-ciency
of ties having been put in during the year to sup-ply
all decay.
TRACK.
«
The general surfacing and alignment of track have
been improved by the good condition of the road bed,
and by the constant effort of officers and employees in
making the best use of all available means for this pur-pose,
but in our opinion, it will require twelve hun-dred
and fifty (1250) tons of 56 lbs. T rails during the
next year to replace worn rails.
BRIDGES.
The bridges are in good condition. A New Howe
Truss Bridge at South Potts Creek, replaces the Lattice
bridge former]}' there. The new bridges have not been
covered, but we are informed the material is ordered for
that purpose.
BUILDINGS.
The buildings generally are in fair order, only a few
minor repairs being required. The dwellings at the Com-pany
Shops have been improved. We would rqspectfully
14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
suggest the propriety of selling these dwellings and lots
to the employees. The companies would be relieved of
troublesome and combustible property and the employees
who purchase would become permanently located and
more deeply identified with the interests and success of
the Company.
WATER AND WOOD.
The supply of these are sufficient.
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT CARS.
The passenger and freight equipment have been in-creased
and improved. One passenger car built at Com-pany
Shops; 30 box and 16 flats added; new standard
draw bars put upon 58 cars ; 4 box, 11 flats and 8 shanty
cars were condemned and destroyed during the year.
The number of cars has therefore been increased by 26
box and 5 fiats, the shanty cars decreased by 8.
MOTIVE POWER.
The locomotives are in better order than last year, two
new boilers having been added. They number one less
than last year. One was condemned as unfit for service.
MATERIAL.
The supply of material in store is less than last year.
This material last year was composed largely of wheels
and axles, which have since been applied to the construc-tion
of cars.
All of which is most respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM MURDOCK.
T. J. SUMNER.
mRTH CAROLINA RAILROAD CO. 15
From which report 3'OU will observe that the road bed,
bridges, buildings, track, rolling stock, &c., are equal to
and in as good condition as when leased, except the item
of iron. They r^^port that it will require twelve hundred
anri fifty tons of 56 pound Trails to go in the track by Oc-tober
next. The Richmond and Danville Railroad Com-pany
has already put a portion of the iron in the track
and the president of said company in reply to a notice
served on him by this company, has assured the board
of directors that the amount of iron required shall be
furnished within the time specified.
The securities deposited by the Richmond and Dan-ville
Railroad Company are considered amply sufficient
to cover any deficiency which may arise. The last Legis-lature
appointed a committee to examine into the secu-rities
deposited with this company by the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company and report to the General
Assembly, whether the cash market value of the securities
were equal to the amount required by the lease. I was
summoned before said committee and gave them a mem-orandum
of said securities which was considered by them
amply sufficient.
At your annual meeting of the stockholders in 1875, a
resolution was adopted authorizing the board of directors
to purchase bonds issued by the State for the purpose
of building the road, and known as construction bonds,
I have to report the board of directors have not as yet
purchased any of said bonds.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
THOS. M. HOLT,
President.

The Committee would suggest the exercise of great
caution on the part of the trustee in loaning these funds
to individuals on collaterals or mortgages. The fluctuat-ing
character of collaterals and the very great difficulty
of realizing under forced sales of real estate in times like
the present, justify in the judgment of the committee,
this suggestion to the trustee.
The investment of the trustee in the claim on the A.
T. & 0. Railroad is approved and highly commended by
the committee a,sa wise and judicious use of the fund, as
well for ihe intrinsic value of the property as for the col-lateral
advantages given to the N. C Railroad by the
control of their claim.
