PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS' REPORT.
To the StochJioIders of the
Wilmington and Weldon Rail Hoad Company :
Gextlemex :—The Board of Directors charged with the
general management of the affairs of the company_, during tlie
past official year, heg leave to submit the following report
:
For an exhibit of the business and general operations of the
company, its finances; property and present general condition,
we refer you to the extended report of the Chief Engineer and
General Superintendent accompanying this, which together
with the report of the Treasurer, will furnish full and detailed
information on the important subjects referred to.
The very large and extraordinary expenditures found abso-lutely
necessary to place your line of railway in successful
operation, and the further necessity of procuring in due season
a sufficient supply of new iron rails to substitute those impair-ed
by use on a very considerable portion of the road of the
Company, required a mnch greater amount of funds than the
Company could command, without resorting to its credit and
borrowing the sum desired. To secure by loan, on fair terms_,
at any point in the United States, the amount necessary for
the purposes stated, was found to be altogether impracticable^
and the President of the Company, under the advice of the
board of Directors, has visited, and is now absent, in Europe,
hoping that he may be able to negotiate on terms much more
favorable than any offered in this country. Our latest advices
from him are not as favorable as we could wish : yet as the
security we offer is deemed to be ample, we yet hope that
within the coming six months we may be successful notwith-standing
the peculiar and extraordinary causes which at this
time are operative in creating distrust of all American securi-ties
on the part of foreign capitalists.
Since your last meeting a corporation entitled "The Wil-mington
Railway Bridge Company"' has been created by an
ordinance of the late Convention of our State, in which the
"Wilmington Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road Company,"
the "Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road Company" and
this Company are the only^ corporators ; the purpose of this
new company being to construct a continuous line of railwaj
across the North Western and North Eastern branches of the
Cape Fear river, and there form an actual railway connection
with, the road of this Company, in lieu of the present nominal
connection by ferry hoats. The discontinuance of these ferry
boats, and the completion of the contemplated railway connec-tion
imperatively demanded by the traveling pubic, from
whom is derived one of our leading sources of income, and the
increased expidition now afforded by rival lines of travel, ren-dered
it of vital importance to this company, that this work
should not longer be postponed. Entertaining these views
the board of directors have not hesitated to exercise the
powers granted to this company by the ordinance refered to^
being altogether satisfied that to postpone action until your
meeting, would be greatly injurious to the true interests of the
company and being well assured that you would promptly
ratify and confirm what has been done in this connection.
Under the provisions of this ordinance the three companies
which constitute "The Wilmington Railway Bridge Compa-ny,"
have made subscriptions to its capital stock, and in confor-mity
with certain covenants entered into among themselves,
have severally and jointly endorsed its bonds to an amount
deemed sufficient to secure the completion of the whole work,
for which a contract has been entered into by the common
company.

The foregoing statement exhibits the gross sums received
from transportation and sales of old material, and the cost
of operating the Eoad. The accompanying tables will show
the items in detail, under the proper heads.
In addition to the cost of operating proper, there has been
expended on account of the re-construction of track, bridges,
warehouses and water stations, and the re-ec[ui|)ment of the
Boad, rendered necessary by the late war, the following
amounts
:

Miscellaneous, 20,000 00
Total cost of re-construction re-ec[
uipment and extraordinary
repairs, $630,386 73
This account is for property now on hand, and, as a whole,
worth more than it cost.
The heavy outlay for rolling stock was rendered necessary
by the wholesale destruction of engines and cars at Weldon
and other points on the line of the Road shortly l>efor3 the
surrender of the Confederate forces in this State.
Some eight miles of track shared a similar fate, about the
same period—rails bent and ties burned.
ROAD DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding a very large number of new sleepers or
ties have been placed in the track, together with 1,700 tons
of new rails during the past year, much yet is required to be
done.
According to my estimate, the track requires, during the
current fiscal year, not less than three thousand tons of new
rails, and 80,000 new ties ; and for the next four years an an-nual
renewal of 2,000 tons, and thereafter 1,400 tons of iron
each year will maintain a good track.
Therefore our arrangements should be made for renewals
in this progressive method rather than by a large outlay at
this time, and the renewal of so many rails immediately, a
portion of which could longer be continued in use with ad-vantage
to the interests of the Company.
The bridges over Smith's creek, North East river, Neuse
Kiver, Tar river—both at Rocky Mount and on the Branch
—
and Fishing creek, are yet only supplied by temporary struc-tures.
A permanent bridge was erected at Quanky Creek,
near Halifax. By your order I am now preparing the lumber
for a bridge over the Neuse, and a temporary one over Tar
river on the Branch.
I hope we may in two weeks be able to cross that stream on
this temporary track, that will enable us to haul off the cot-ton
from that locality.
The bridge over the Neuse will be pressed forward to com-pletion
as rapidh^ as possible, so soon as the masonry can be
got in readiness for the superstructure.
I propose a cheaper kind of bridges for the other streams
than we have heretofore used, and should my views be ap-proved,
we shall be able to rebuild the remaining bridges
during the current fiscal year.
MACHINERY DEPARTMENT.
Engines.
We have twelve first class Engines in excellent order, of
which seven were built and delivered during the past fiscal
year, and the five remaining have been thoroughly repaired,
6
aud are now in fine condition. We have in addition to these
nine others that will he rehuilt as rapidly as the means and
wants of the Company require. We have also one engine
in the Roanoke river yet, entirely under water^ that we hope
ultimately to recover and repair—making in all twenty-two
Engines, besides three that may he avaihahle for the Branch,
making a total of twenty-five engines, good and repairable.
I do not think any new engines will he required for three
years to come.
While economy has been consulted in all these purchases,
the very best engines and cars and tools have been selected,
and it is gratifying to be able to say there is no better rolling
stock in the Southern or Northern country. Rogers & Mason,
respectively, were employed to build these engines, under
contracts for their best work.
Cars. «-
We came out of the war with ten passenger cars and about
sixty freight cars, repairable, though in a crippled condition,
out of a stock of one hundred and twenty cars, passenger
and freight. The passenger cars, with one or two exceptions,
have been running during most of the year—many of them
have been thoroughly repaired.
Four new first class passenger cars were built for the Com-pany
under a contract by Harlan, HoUingsworth & Co., during
the year past. This completes our stock of passenger cars,
and, with two or three we propose to build during the present
year, will be suflicient for the year's business.
The contract with the sleeping car company has supplied
two additional passenger cars that adds much to the comfort
of our through travelers by the night trains.
Most of the freight cars are now in good running order.
The few remaining ones are in course of re-construction.
—
Contracts were made for fifty box cars, with iron trucks, which
have been completed, and are now in service on the road. We
purchased eighty fiat cars from the Government, and have
sold twelve of them to the Wilmington, Charlotte & Ruther-ford
Rail Road Company, leaving sixty-eight, to which add
seven flats repaired, and we have a total of seventy-five flat
cars.
Our supply of freight cars is ample for the current year,
and I trust the future wants of the Company will be supplied
at its own shops.
We have now, in good running order, or in a condition re-quiring
hut moderate repairs, one hundred box cars and
seventy-five flat cars ; twelve first class passenger cars ; six
second class passenger cars, and six baggage and mail cars;
twelve passenger and freight engines ; nine (9) engines to be
repaired or rebuilt, with one fine yard and shifting engine
rebuilt in our own shops, and two or three to be ultimately
repaired for gravel trains and Branch service.
TRANSPORTATION E EPARTMENT
.
In consequence of the new machinery that has been placed
at the disposal of this department since November, 1865, the
transportation of persons and things has been efficient, eco-nomical,
and satisfactory, not only to the community, but to
the management of the road.
The receipts have exceeded the estimates I submitted to
you for the information of the bondholders, and should be
exceedingly gratifying to the stockholders, who look forward
to a declaration of dividends at no distant day. Should the
ratio of increase in our through passenger business continue
during the current year equal to that of the past, we cannot
fail to recover from the effects of the war at a much earlier
date than we have anticipated.
All we can here promise, however, is that this department
shall do its duty to the public promptly and efficiently, as it
has done the past year, in transporting all that offers, and
upon terms that shall not be unjust, unequal,, or oppressive.
1 recommend that through freight tariffs, at rates to com-mand
a share of the business, be made with the New Anna-messix
route from New York and Philadelphia, on goods that
can bear inland transportation, to all points South of us. We
may in time reap considerable incomft from this source.
LOCAL AND THROUGH FREIGHTS.
This Company, from 1855, have had through freight rates
with the North Carolina Rail Road Company that yielded a
considerable income,—as high as $40,000 per year. This in-come
has been greatly diminished during the past year in
consequence of the new avenues of trade that have been
opened with Western North Carolina, by way of Greensboro'
and Danvilk, and the old line by way of Weldon and Nor-folk
revived, with improved facilities. Early in the past fiscal
year this state of things became apparent, and without the
means to prevent it, I recommended to you and the Board
of Directors the importance of trying to recover a portion of
it by a joint arrangement with the lines via Weldon and
Goldsboro'—from the North. Arrangements were accordingly
made, by your authority, for this purpose; which agreement,
however, was uot carried out niithfuUy, and consequently
failed to render tlie benefits expected from it.
This arrangement embraced through rates from the North-ern
cities via. Portsmouth to this city, and other places along
our line, and re-opened an old route with increased facilities
and brought us much freight. Soon, however, complaints
were made by our Wilmington merchants that by it injury
was done the trade of this city, operating, as they said, to
divert trade to the iiorts of Virginia. This effect had not
been intended nor anticipated, and to remove an}'' cause of
comjdaint on this subject the Board of Directors ordered the
tariff, then but just adopted, to be revoked, and new local
rates substituted, which have since the first of October been
the measure of our proportion of through rates from North-ern
cities to places on this road.
I do not think this change in the rates cliarged has had the
effect to change, materially, the direction of produce to
market, though it has added to our receipts, while if has
caused some complaint from the merchants of Petersburg and
Norfolk and the people of our Northern counties
These complaints are mainly due, I think, to the principle
of discrimination in favor of the long distances—a principle
this Company has always considered important, if not indis-pensable.
To discriminate in making freight charges has been long
and well established. No railway can be well and justly
managed wheie that principle is not observed.
Suppose the horizontal system to be adopted, and all goods
paid the same rates per ton per mile for long or short dis-tances,
the cost of hauling and handling being the same, and
the rate being such, that short distances were simply remu-nerative^
the charges for the longest distances would be exces-sive,—
amounting to a prohibition. Carry the principle out as
we may, for one, two or three thousand miles, and we could
not enjoy the products or manufactories of other countries.
It has been thought best, therefore, to equalize the burdens
of transportation, and of maintaining our great Railway lines
by charging less and less as the distance traveled becomes
greater and greater; thus while the residents near the mar-ket
towns pay more i)er mile than those residing at the great-est
distance, yet the cost of transportation thus distributed is
not oppressive upon either, and it enables the Railways to, be
maintained, as they are, for the mutual benefit of stockhold-ers
and people.
9
This is precisely the principle that regulates the local tariff
of freight for this and most other Railways.
The distances charged for are the saiil^, reckoned either from
Wilmington or Weldon, hence the citizens that receive their
goods and forward their produce at Halifax, Enfield, Battle-boro',
Rocky Mount and Wilson, have no more cause of com-plaint
than those who receive and deliver their's at North.
East, Rocky Point, Burgaw, South Washington, Teachey's,
Magnolia and Warsaw. All are charged by the same table
of distances.
If the complaint is made that the local rates are too higb
in one case, they are equally so in both. The real point of
difficulty seems to be that Weldon is not the market town,
but that it is sixty or eighty miles distant from that point,
while Wilmington is at the Southern terminus of the road.
As to high rates, all we can say is, they are not so higb in
proportion to the cost of operating, or the value of property
transported, as they were in 1861—nor do the receipts nett as
much by a large per centage as they did then.
THE DEPARTMENT OF SUPPLIES.
This department has the past year, under our re-organiza-fion,
done as well as we had a right to expect, so far as sup-plying
materials for the working branches of the service is
a test of its efficiency.
The returns of supplies have not been as promptl}^ rendered
(though called for regularly) as I hope and believe they will
be in future.
This completes all I have to report on the subject of the
regular operations, and I here beg to say that I am indebted
to the bead of each working department for valuable assist-ance.
Capt. William Smith, Master of Transportation.
Capt. John F. Divine, Master of Machinery.
Messrs John Crone and Elisha Green, respectively, as Road
Masters of the Northern and Southern divisions.
Capt. W. G. McRae, Master of Supplies or Storekeeper.
The duties of operating are distributed as follows:
To the Department of Transportation is confided the move-ments
of trains and the safety of passengers and property
moved, the employment, direction and pay of Station Agents,
Warehouse hands, Conductors, train hands, and the care
and preservation of all Station Buildings.
To the Department of Machinery is committed the rebuild-ing,
repairs, and preservation of all rolling stock and station
10
machinery and the work of operating the same, and provid-ing
the labor, purchase of lumber, &c., for Station buildings.
To the Road Department is committed the repairs of track,
bridges and rebuilding the same, purchase and distribution
of timber for road and bridges.
The business of the Department of Supplies is the purchase,
preservation and issuing supplies for the working of all the
other departments in conformity with regulations.
These tour departments, each dirsctly operated by its own
head and under the daily supervision and control of the
Engineer and Superintendent, to whom daily and monthly
reports and returns are required to be made of their opera-tions,
wants and necessities.
I have found during the past year much advantage in this
division of duties, and, though not fully perfected, I hope before
your next anLual meeting to have many improvements com-pleted
for the more efficient and economical work of the road.
OUR RAILWAY AND STEAMER CONNECTIONS.
Since my last annual report, our through connections south
have been corupleted to Mobile and New Orleans, on the one
hand, and to Charleston and Savannah on the other, by which
passengers can now reach Texas and the great Southwest by
way ot New Orleans^ and all Southern Georgia and Florida
by way of the Savannah and Gulf Railway.*
These great lines unite at Augusta and Florence and bring
many passengers over this route. There are also three great
lines now in successful operation, converging at Weldon, that
are very important feeders to this line.
They are—one by Richmond and Washington, one by Nor-folk
and Baltimore, and the third one by the Norfolk and the
Eastern shore (of Maryland) railway to Philadelphia.
With all these lines now in successful operation, we may
hope for a large through business.
The Railway connection through the cities of Richmond
and Petersburg are expected to be completed during the
month of January, when our cars can run from the Cape Fear
to the Potomac ; and so soon as the line of thirty-six miles now
in cour.se of construction between Fredricksburg and Alexan-dria
is completed, we may run cars to Washington ; and, if
desired, as far as New York and Boston, Albany and Chicago.
*TLis line is now open to St. Marks, via Tallahassee, 283 miles. From St*
Marks it is proposed to run lines of Steamers to JSew Orleans and Havana.
11
RAILWAY BRIDGES OVER THE CAPE FEAR.
Much is hoped and expected from the greater facilities for
through business, that the bridges over the Cape Fear will
afford. This work is now fully under way and will be com-pleted
in about six months.
I may, in conclusion, say, with all the natural advantages of
this great seaboard line^ improved as it will be in the next few
years, that its condition—present and prospective—is such as
to give us every hope of its speedy prosperity and entire suc-cess
as a lihe of through travel and freight.
Simultaneously with the opening of the new route by the
Annemessix, seacoast tickets between Savannah and Charles-ton
and New York and Philadelphia were sold at rates that
ought to divert a large travel from the sea. The cost of
travelling is about the same, while all the dangerous and
disagreeable features of sea travelling are avoided. We hope
much from this travel.
NEW ROUTES AND BRANCHES.
A BRANCH TO FAYETTEVILLE AND THE COAL MINES ON DEEP RIVER,
A most favorable route for a branch from this road to the
coal mines is believed to be from or near Faison Station via.
Averysboro' on Deep river, to the coal and iron eigon. To
Averysboro' from Faison's, is but thirty-five (35) miles, and to
Haywood about sixty-five miles. From Wilmington to Lees-burg
it is thirty-three miles,—from the latter place t Fayette-ville
the distance is about fifty-five miles, and from Rose Hill
(forty-two miles from tide water) the distance to Fayetteville
is but fifty miles. The question for the future to be decided
is, which of these lines shall be considered in seeking a short
railway connection to the coal and iron mines of Deep River.
This question is now a very important one for the prosperity
of Wilmington, in connection with the Rolling Mills and other
manufactories that should be located here within the next
three years.
Already capitalists are turning their attention to the Deep
River coal and iron, and at no distant day means will be
raised and steps taken to bring it to this or some other mar-ket.
The route by Faison or Warsaw is said to be the most
favorable for a railway, at the minimum cost, while the line by
Fayetteville is partly constructed,—which is the shortest and
best, can only be determined by an actual survey.
12
That means can be raised to construct a road over the best
line, there can be no doubt, and I regard it as all important
that immediate steps be taken by this company to obtain all
the facts such as length of line, probable cost and such other
information as may be desirable.
The distance from Wilmingtou to the coal and iron region,
by way of Lumberton and Fayetteville, is entirely too great
to admit of a consideration in this connection.
T recommend that our charter be so amended as to author-ize
separate stock to be subscribed for branches in the main
stem, and that application for that purpose be made to the
Legislature at its present session.
PROSPECT FOR A DIVIDEND AT THE END OF THE PRESENT FISCAL
YEAR.
I am confident that our receipts for the current year will
reach $550,000, and the cost of operating the road proper will
not exceed $260,000, with $.30,000 more added for new bridges
and masonry $290,000 to be expended. This will leave $260,-
000 out of which to pay interest and sinking fund, and a divi-dend.
It will require about $60,000 to pay a dividend of four per
cent on the capital stock. Therefore, if the floating debt be
provided for, as it is hoped and expected, a dividend may be
reasonably looked for at the end of the current fiscal year-

NUMBER AND DESCEIPTION OF CAES.
REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE.
To the Stockholders of the
Wilmington and Weldon Rail Boad Company :
The undersigned members of the auditing Committee ap-pointed
at your last annual meeting respectfully
REPORT :
That they have examined with considerable tediousness
and labor the books and vouchers of both the General Freight
Agent and Treasurer's Office, and find that the freight depart-ment
requires a vast deal of writing and service, and, consid-ering
the large number of entries and amount of labor, very
correct. The few unimportant errors have been pointed out
and corrected.
They find the Treasurer's vouchers and books to correspond
without an error, and refer to his Report for an exhibit of the
transactions of the Company, its property, receipts, expendi-tures
and indebtedness.
There are several long standing accounts upon the books
which your committee recommend to be balanced.
Respectfully submitted.
PATRICK MURPHY,
JOHN D. LOVE.
Nov. 15, 1866.

chairman.
The committee to whom was referred the several reports
submitted the following through their chairman, A. A. McKoy:
To the StocTcliolders of the
Wilmington & Weldon Bail Road Company
:
Gentlemen :
—
The committee to whom was referred the annual reports of the offi-cers
of the company have given the subject as much consideration as
the limited time admitted, and beg leave respectfully to report
:
They would recommend that the Company accept the ordinance pass-ed
by the Convention creating the "Wilmington Railway Bridge Com-pany,"
and further sanction and approve the action of the President
and Directors thus far, under the same. They would further advise
that the President and Directors be authorized to proceed to complete
the works and purposes proposed under the ordinance.
In examining the expenses incurred in the matter of reconstruction
and resuscitation of the property, though the amount is large, they are
of opinion no more money has been spent, or liability incurred, than
was necessary under the circumstances, the property being in a very
worn out and crippled condition. They would, however, recommend
for the future, retrenchment and a most economical outlay in the?e res-pects.
In regard to the Branch Road to Fayetteville, they would advise the
whole subject be referred to the President and Directors, with authority
to take such steps in the premises as the interest and ability of the Com-pany
might seem to warrant.
They are further of opinion the business prospects of the Company
appear to be good, and its affairs managed with prudence, considering
all the circumstances.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
A. A. McKOY.
W. S. BATTLE. J- Committee.
