PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
Ealeigh and Gaston Railroad Company,
Ealbigh, N. C, JuJij, 1870.
To the StocMolderH of the
BalcU/h and Gaston Railroad Company:
Gentlemen : We submit for jonv consideration and ap-proval
our Twentieth Annual Eeport, with the reports of
the kSuperintendent, Treasurer, Auditor and Master Mechan-ic,
showing the operations of the Oompan}' in detail for the
fiscal year ending the 31st of May last.
The receipts have been
:
From Freights, - . - - $221,088 02
" Passengers, - - " - 83,482 83
" Mail, ----- 7,169 29
" Miscellaneous, - _ _ 1,372 47
Total, - - - - $313,112 61
Expenditures current and otherwise, - 225,240 99
Balance on transportation account, - I 87,871 62
Out of which the Board of Directors declared a dividend of
live per cent, payable on the 15th day of July.
The business and receipts of the Company especially from
passengers, since the completion of the through line to Au-gusta,
have not been so large as we hoped or anticipated.
With the co-operation, however, of the North Carohna Eail
Eoad and the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Eail Eoad,
we will be able to command a considerable portion of the
freights, from prominent points in South Carolina : yours,
the " Seaboard Inland Air-Line," being the best and quick-est
outlet for them. The roads, west of Columbia, should
be tributary to and a part of this inland air-line, and we hope
to make them so.
The completion of the Chatham Road to Haywood, some
thirty miles, is already adding considerable to yom: business,
and when completed to and connection made with Fayette-
\'ille, and the Coalfields, you may expect a large mcrease
from the transportation of coal, copper and naval stores.
The opening and working of the coal and copper shafts
uuist give you a large tonnage, and will require a considerable
outlay for coal cars, and equipment to meet it. We desire to
haul inward for the farmers along your line a ton of marl
from the marl beds of Virginia for every ton of coal taken
out, in that way reduce the cost of transportation, increase
your profits and enrich all the lands within fifteen miles of
your load.
The tide of emigration is slowly but sm-ely setting South.
You already have many new settlers on the line of the road,
with cheap and quick transportation, cheap and permament
fertilizers, a good soil, the best climate and the best water
on the continent, and within a few hours' ride of Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York, your prosperty must be onward.
You should offer and hold out the most liberal inducements
to settlers and to manufacturing of every kind.
Your road-bed and track are in much better condition than
last year, some thirteen miles of new T rails, fifty lbs. to the
yard, having been used in repairs. Yom' engine and car
equipment is in good concUtion, one new engine, the Roanoke,
having been added to the list.
The re-building of the Tar River bridge, eight hundred
and fifty feet, has commenced, to be completed by the first
of December next. The bridge will cost about fifty thousand
dollars, and we have most of the funds in hand to meet the
expenditm'e.
In pursuance of a resolution passed at your last annual
meeting, the Board of Directors made a temporary loan of
twenty-five thousand dollars for the pmpose of completing
the round house, building a new car shed at Raleigh, and a
passenger shed at Weldon. The car shed at Raleigh has
8
"been finished and in use some time. The round house is
about completed; and the shed at Weldon, we deemed ad-visable
not to commence as the other roads terminating at
that point had in contemplation the building of a new union
passenger shed, better adapted to yom' wants than the old
one. The new car shed and round house at Ealeigh will cost
about twenty-seven thousand dollars and will be the best of
the kind in the Southern States.
The satisfactory results of the past year is largely due to
the close attention, energy and fidelity of the officers and em-ployees
of the Company who deserve commendation.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company,
Siq)enntemJenfs Office,
Raleigh, N. C, July, 1870.
De. W. J. Hawkins,
President Raleigli and Gaston B. B. Co.
Sie: I have the honor to submit my Annual Report of
the operations of this Company for the year ending May
31st, 1870:
The earnings from all sources have been . $313,112 61
as follows:
From Freights, _ - . - $221,088 02
" Passengers, - - - 83,482 83
" Mails, ----- 7,169 29
" Sundries, - - - 1,372 47
$313,112 61
The operating expenses for the
year have been - - $196,584 90
Re-rolling Iron, &c., - - 15,472 39
Cost of Engine Roanoke and
freight, - - - - 13,183 70 225,240 99
Balance, .- - - - - $ 87,871 62
being nearly six per cent, on the Capital Stock of the Com-pany.
The increase of receipts over the year 1869 has
been $64,994 51.
THE EOAD BED AND TEACK
Have been kept in good order and are vastly improved not-withstanding
the hea\^ tonnage. We have used in repair of
10
tiac'k nearly thirteen miles of new T rails, fifty pounds to the
yard, most of it between Warrenton and Kittrells. We have
used on the whole line about fifty thousand cross-ties. We
have removed nearly all the defective rails in the road, and
replaced them with the good iron taken up. We propose
and are now changing the old lip chair for the sleeve pat-tern.
This will add greatly to the safety of the trains and
lessen the cost of repairs. The road was pretty well ditched
and drained last summer and fall. We are now at that work
draining and ballasting. We have, however, very poor ma-terial
on the line of our road for this pm-pose. We will re-quire
during the coming year from foiu' hundred to five hun-dred
tons of new rails. The old iron will pay about half the
cost of the new.
OUR BRIDGES ARE ALL LN SAFE CONDITION.
We are re-building Tar River bridge, eight hundred and
fifty feet, and it is advisable to re-build all the lattice bridges
with the Howe Truss or some other improved plan, from
time to time, as they may require it, and not repair them.
The Tar Eiver bridge will be a Howe Truss decked bridge.
(The old bridge, a thiee chord lattice track on middle chord.)
We will have to lower the piers some ten or twelve feet and
change the abutments. This will l)e cheaper than to raise
the embankments.
BUILDINGS.
We have enlarged the ware-house and built a large coach
shed at Ealeigh, two hundred and twenty-five by forty-two
feet, moved the depot at Gaston to a more eligible site, re-built
ware-house and wood-house at that point. The depots,
tanks and buildings of the Company are now in excellent
condition. The round house so long tmd so much needed, I
am happy to say, will soon be completed. It will be a splendid
structure and add much to the protection of the Company's
property and comfort of the men.
SHOPS AND TOOLS
Are in good condition ; we have added some valuable ma-chinery,
including one of "Seller's" large wheel lathes. Ad-
11
ditioDal machinery to the amoiiut of thirty-six hundred dol-lars
is desirable as soon as the Company can find it conveni-ent
to purchase the same.
Oiu' motive power and rolling stock are in very good order
as will appear by reference to our Master Mechanic's table.
Engine Eoanoke, one of Bogers' best, commenced running
May 17th. Our stock of cars consists of six first class pas-senger
cars, five second class, foiu^ mail and baggage, sixtj^-
niue box-cars, thirty-fom- flat-cars and ten gravel-cars, and
we are adduig and will add largely to om- box-car equipment
the coming year to meet the demands. We are building in
our own shops all the cars we use.
The trains have run ^\ith the greatest regularity. We
have been running since the first of January three daily
trains, one with the mail and passengers, one through freight
and the other an accommodation train for local fieights—all
three trains have accommodations for passengers. January
13th, engine Eoyster, on through freight train, collided near
Summit with the engine Franklin, on material train, caused
by the engineers' watch on Franklin being too slow, damage
comparatively slight.
The tables appended will show the number of way and
through passengers, the mileage and tonage and the month-ly
receipts at the several stations.
My assistants deserve something more than a mere com-pliment.
Their fidelity to the Company's interests has been
commendable. From them I have received valuable aid. To
their energy, intelhgence and zeal, the successful operations
of the Company for the past year in a great measure is due.

FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The Committee of Finance and Inspection, report, tliat
the Financial condition of the Company is correctly set forth
in the reports of the Treasurer, and the statement of accounts
appended thereto. From these it appears that the receipts
of the Company were largely increased during the last year.
It is however a matter of I'egret that while this increase was
made in the receipts, a large increase was also made in the
exj^enditures.
Your Committee have examined into this matter and find
that there was required a very large outlay and increased ex-penditures
on account of the peculiar position in which we
were placed in regard to the increased fi^eight passing over the
road. More trains were required and at greater speed, and
larger expense, and by reference to the report it will appear
that a large amount of this increased expense was incurred
in permanent impro^'emeut to the Eoadway and Machinery
and other property of the Company.
The Roadway is in good order. Much new iron has been
laid and the track made perfectly secure. Xew cross-ties
have been put in where needed and the necessary ditching
is being done.
The Bridges are all in thorough repair, except the one
over Tar Elver which is being rapidly rebuilt.
The Depots are all in good order.
The completion of the Car Shed at Ealeigh affords suffi-cient
room for shelter for all the trains of the Company.
The Eouud-house wiU be soon completed and is a magnifi-cent
structure.
We would respectfully suggest that the President and
Directors should make immediate provision for a bountiful
47
supply of water at some couveiiient point near the Shops
and Sheds at Ealeigh, to be used in case of Fire.
The Machine Shops are in first rate order and well man-aged.
The peculiar position which the Ealeigh & Gaston Eail
Eoad occupies renders it necessary that extraordinary exer-tions
and diligence should be used on the part of the ofiicers
in order to compete successfully with the different rival lines
of Eailroad.
By reference to the tables accompanying the reports, it
will appear that great credit is due to the officers of this
Company for the fortunate arrangements made and the pru-dent
management of the affairs ol the Company for the last
year.
T. B. VEXABLE,
Chairman.
