PRESIDENTS REPORT.
New Bern, N. C, September 26th, 1901.
To the Stockholders of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Co.
Gentlemen:
We beg' to submit for your consideration this the Forty-
Seventh Annual Report of your Company:
—
Having embodied in our report of September 27th, 1900, a full
and comprehensive statement as to the condition and needs of your
property, we deem it necessary at this time to lay before you only
that which has been done since in furtherance of the views therein
expressed, and to call your attention to the work yet needed to bring
it up to the standard of efficiency imperatively required in order to
enable it to conduct its increasing traffic rupon a safe, expeditious
and profitable basis.
It gives us pleasure therefore, to state that the brick warehouse
at Goldsboro 200 ft. long by 60 ft. wide, is rapidly nearing comple-tion,
and will, in a very short time, be in active use, and we believe
will add much to the business of your Company at that point. Its
cost has exceeded the original estimate of $6,500 and when completed
will reach the sum of about $8,500. We feel satisfied, however, that
the increased traffic incident thereto will prove the expenditure a
wise one. The old warehouse needs extensive repairs. Its platforms
will in great part have to be made entirely new, and both platforms
and floor should be raised to the level of the car floors.
The brick warehouse at Kinston, 220 ft. long by 40 ft. wide, with
the exception of its gutters has been built at a cost of $6824, and is
in full operation, and the Road, in the increase of business at'that
point, is feeling the benefit of its erection. The fact is that had it
not been built the Road could not, without the risk of great and seri-ous
loss arising from damage by weather to goods in transit, have
conducted the business offered it.
At Tuscarora the new warehouse built at a cost of S523. 65 has
come fully up to our predictions, and has proven a judicious invest-ment.
At New Bern the old and dilapidated building used as a car
shop has been replaced by a handsome brick structure two stories
high, 60 ft. wide and 110 ft. long. The lower story will be used as
a pattern and varnish shop, where the valuable collection of patterns
of your Company can be properly assorted and cared for, and the
necessary pattern work performed, and where the varnish work can
2
be carried on free from dust. At present the patterns are piled up
indiscriminately in an old and leaky building-, and the pattern and
varnish work done in the new paint shop.
Connecting- with the car shop, a new and commodious wood
working shop 60 ft. by 80 ft. into which a part of the necessary ma-chinery
has been placed, has been built, and connecting with that a
new and modern foundry 40 ft. by 60 ft. with both side and sky lights
has been put up. These buildings are in use, but will not be finally
completed for several weeks to come. The paucity of the Roads fa-cilities
were so great that we were compelled to occupy and use them
before the roofs were on. The aggregate cost to date of the different
structures has been $13,208.97.
The old foundry is being prepared for a blacksmith shop, and
the present blacksmith shop will be thrown into and made a part of
the machine shop, thereby affording long needed additional room
and enabling repairs to be made upon three engines at the same
time, if necessary, instead of only one as at present.
The Round House, its pits etc., have been repaired and put in
good order. Its roof is rotten, but which with constant repairing
and patching we have, up to this time, been able to make out with
it. The demands of the Road at more vital points have prevented
its repair, but it will shortly have to be replaced by a new one, the
cost of which will fall not far below One Thousand Dollars.
The Road owns fourteen engines, and the Round House affords
accommodation for but seven. It should be enlarged sufficiently to
provide at least twelve stalls, so that all the engines likely to be in
the yard at night can be housed and protected from the weather.
The new paint shop, a handsome brick structure, with the ex-ception
of its doors, temporary ones having been hung to keep out
the weather, has been finished at a cost of $3,742.51 and is in use;
and for the first time in many years your Company has a suitable
place in which to paint and care for its coaches.
The guano warehouse on Neuse River 60 ft. wide by 210 ft. long
has been completed and is in use. Its receipts from storage on guano
were $722.00. Had it been completed earlier, they would have been
larger.
The warehouse on Trent River, 240 ft. long by 60 ft. wide, with
the exception of the offices and the driving of a few fender piles, is
finished and in use. The aggregate cost of these warehouses has
been $23,149.90. Without this warehouse it would have been simply
impossible for your Road to have handled the volume of business
offered it. The old brick warehouse on Neuse River which, when
the necessary repairs are made, will be used for Steamer freights
only, was totally inadequate for the traffic. Badly located, impossi-
ble of approach on the north by reason of the presence of lumber
mills* and hemmed in on both sides by a line of track constantly
used for shifting- cars in order to load and unload them, draymen
could not reach the platform without frequently jeopardizing their
own as well as the lives of their teams, and freight could not, with-out
great difficulty and delay, be received and delivered the same
day, or in fact at any time at all. The inconvenience and danger
attending the use of that warehouse was fast driving the business to
the Steamers, and its abandonment for the local business of New
Bern became a necessity, as the result of transferring it to the new
warehouse on the Trent has abundantly proved.
Having been notified by the authorities of the City of New Bern
that the price of the water supplied to our shops and engines, at that
time $380 per annum, would be advanced, and about $1000 suggested
as the sum that would thereafter be charged, we erected a 20,000
gallon tank upon a steel stand 35 ft. high at an outside cost of tank,
pumps, pipes and plant complete of $1,200. When the tank was
near completion, we were notified that if we would permit the town
to pump the water into it and take our supply therefrom that the
price would be $600, but if we preferred to take it from the City main
direct, the annual price would be $800. Both propositions were de-clined.
The cost of supplying the shops and engines with water now
is the interest on the plant and cost of keeping up the pumps which
supply the tank and the oil they use, which as the steam is furnish-ed
by the large stationary shop boiler, we estimate does not exceed
$100 per year. The money saved will soon pay for the entire outfit.
We still use the City water in connection with the toilets etc. in the
passenger depot, but shall be forced to discontinue it unless a more
reasonable rate can be obtained. The interest of the Road demands
that it furnish its own water supply at every point where water is
needed, which if it provides itself with proper facilities, it can do
for less than one-third of the amount it has been paying for many
years past.
The new warehouse at Croatan has been finished and is in use,
and has proved, as predicted, a good investment for the Road. It
cost $746. 12.
The Pier at Morehead City, the piles of which, except under the
north trestle where new piles had been placed to enable the cars to
reach the warehouse, had become dangerously rotten and defective,
many of them having been, eaten in two by the teredo, is being rap-idly
and substantially rebuilt, and will be completed by the middle
or latter part of October.
The sills of the warehouse where exposed to the weather are
badly rotted and will be replaced with new ones as soon as the work
4
upon the Pier is finished. Several of the iron piles under the house
are missing-, washed out no doubt by the storms, and will have to
be replaced. Nearly every fender pile around the house has been
destroyed by the teredo, and new ones will have to be put down.
The house itself seems to be in good condition. The cost of this
work is estimated at Five to Seven Thousand Dollars, it being- im-possible
to accurately estimate the cost of repairing the substructure
of the house until the full extent of the decay has been ascertained,
which cannot be done until the old work is torn out. When finished,
the Pier will be thoroughly lighted at night and the danger to pas-sengers,
which by reason of insufficient lighting since the day of its
construction, has been great, will be reduced to a minimum.
The water supply at Morehead City having virtually failed, and
not being able to make satisfactory arrang-ements with the Ice Com-panj'
to fill our tank, we bored a well near the Pier 267 ft. deep and
cased it with iron pipe 167 ft. below the surface, from which a plen-tiful
supply of most excellent water has since been obtained. The
old tank at Morehead being too rotten to repair has been torn down,
and a new 32,000 gallon tank and pump house with gasoline engine
put at the new well on the Pier. No further trouble is anticipated.
Since the erection of this tank all vessels entering the harbor for
water have been supplied by your Company at the rate of l/i cent
per gallon, which has thus far yielded sufficient revenue to pay the
expense of supplying water for the engine.
' The supply of water at Newport having failed also, and the
tank being rotten, it has been pulled down and a new tank and
pump house with steam pump have been erected at Croatan, where
your Company owns a fine well of water encased with brick. This
is one of the original water stations and is said to have the finest
well of water on the Road; but for reasons unknown to the writer
was abandoned, and the tank removed to Newport eleven miles west
of Morehead City. Croatan is now one of the chief logging stations
on the Road, and water thereat is an indispensable necessity.
A neat little station for the accommodation of Northern Winter
visitors, hunters etc. has. been erected at "The Elms" and will re-pay
your Company its cost of $275.
Pumping stations and new tanks are needed at Core Creek,
Kinston, and LaGrange. Warehouses and passenger accommoda-tions
commensurate in size with the business done at the different
points are badly needed at Beston, Falling Creek, Caswell, Dover,
Core Creek, Clarks, Riverdale, Havelock, Wild wood and Morehead
City. At some of these places your Company does not own a shin-gle,
having to use its cars for warehouses.
5
The Pier at the old brick warehouse at New Bern is in impera-tive
need of extensive repairs, the piles supporting- it, its roof and its
sills being- in great part rotten and unsafe. It is proposed to make
these repairs as soon as the work on the Morehead City Pier is
completed.
Since we assumed the management of your property, by reason
of the increased facilities for the transaction of business, many in-dustrial
plants have been located along its line, the lumber traffic
has nearly doubled, and with proper and continued effort its gen-eral
business can also be increased to proportions largely in excess
of its present volume.
We have put in your Road 53.571 cross ties, and used in the re-pair
of bridges, trestles etc. 417,412 ft. lumber. We have also built
thirty-one single end side tracks, and twelve double end side tracks;
put in two new crossings, thirty-nine new frogs, fifty-six new split
switch points, and built seventeen new platforms, repaired six-teen
old ones, and covered most of them with good and substantial
roofs.
The bridges and trestles are in good order and capable of sus-taining
any traffic that may be carried over them.
In consequence of the unprecedented rains of the past few months,
it has been simply impossible to keep the track in the low grounds,
through which a portion of it runs, in its proper alignment and as
smooth as it would otherwise have been. In several places the water
has poured over the tops of the rails, washing the dirt from under
the ties, and making the track uneven and rough, but by constant
work and watchfulness the damage has been quickly repaired and
the trains have run without accident to life or limb, and the roadbed
is and has been kept in general good order, a large portion of it
comparing favorably with those of any of the great systems travers-ing
the State.
A gravel train, without extra expense as to labor, the first in
many years, has been recently put upon the Road and will be kept
in use until its bed is properly ballasted throughout its entire length.
It has been permitted, for the want of gravel, to get down from four
to eight inches from Goldsboro to Morehead City, and should be
raised to its original level.
Much ditching has been done, and many miles more must yet be
cut before the water can be carried off and the sobbing of the track
prevented. When your Road is properly ballasted and properly
ditched, both of which it is hoped will be accomplished during the
next twelve months, the track in smoothness and safety will be the
equal of any in the State—in fact the greater portion of it is so at
the present time.
6
During the present year your Company has purchased from Mr.
J. J. Street, at a cost of $2,000, ten Acres of land on the opposite
side of its track from the mills of Messrs Hines Bros., east of the
town of Kinston and adjoining its limits. The necessity for greater
track facilities and the certainty of being compelled in the near
future to erect a Guano warehouse beyond the corporate limits of the
town, rendered the acquisition of this property a necessity.
The service upon your Road for both freight and passenger traf-fic
is better than at any time in its history—it is in fact, in propor-tion
to its mileage, superior to that of any Road in the State.
Two years ago it consisted of but one daily mail and passenger
train and one tri-weekly freight train between Morehead City and
Goldsboro, whereas it requires to transact its business one daily
mail and passenger train and one tri-weekly freight train between
Morehead City and New Bern; a double daily mail and passenger
and a daily freight train between New Bern and Goldsboro, and on
Sundays a daily mail and passenger train and a daily passenger
train between Morehead City and New Bern, and a double daily
mail and passenger train between New Bern and Goldsboro, also
one and frequently two daily log trains.
Your Road is badly in need of cars.
Including the Parlor Car "Vance" you have of,
Passenger train cars, 21
Box cars 67
Flat cars 67
Shanty cars 14
Caboose cars 2
Gondola cars 6
Log cars 50
Making a total of 227
With the exception of the cars purchased during the past two
years, your rolling stock is by no means in good order. Most of
your cars are only fair, while many of them are not serviceable and
nearly all need more or- less overhauling and repairing, and in many
instances rebuilding from the trucks.
Your Road needs and should have three new passenger cars, one
of which should be a chair car, 50 new box cars, 50 new flat cars
and 30 new log cars, all of which, with the exception of the passen-ger
coaches, should be constructed in your own shops, where we can
build the class of cars that we need for less money than we can buy
them.
Upon all old trucks, wheels and axles that are in condition to be
so utilized, it is proposed to build new bodies, and thereby obtain as
I
7
many serviceable cars as we can by using- the old material on hand
—but the number will not be great.
Acting upon the above idea, we have already built during the
present year 18 new log cars, and built 22 new bodies or beds for
old log car trucks, the beds of which had become worn out and
worthless. We have also built 12 new flat car beds and placed them
upon serviceable old trucks. In addition to this, we have kept in
repair every car that was worth repairing and in every instance re-placed
the old plain draw head link and pin couplers with automatic
couplers.
Your motive power consists of 14 engines (five of them bought
during the last two years) and is ample for your present needs.
Twelve of them are first class, and the other two will be made so
during the present year.
The floating debt of your Company, including a loan of $45000
negotiated under resolution of your Directors for the purpose of more
speedily supplying the pressing wants of your Road than its revenues
would permit, was on the 30th June last, the end of the fiscal year,
$61,340.95 of which $6,942.00 have been since paid.
The bonded debt is still $325,000 upon which the annual interest
is $19,500, a sum sufficient to pay more than one per cent on your
entire capital stock of $1,800,000.
Your attention is called to the very grave fact that from June
1893 to September 1899 inclusive, there was paid in dividends $251,504,
and from June 30, 1890 to March 31, 1901 including the amount paid
by President Washington Bryan in 1888—'89, there was paid on ac-count
of interest $263,250, making a total of dividends and interest of
$514,754. Deduct from that amount, debt of $325,000 and you will
perceive that the dividends and interest together paid during the
above period amount to $189,754 in excess of the entire debt, which
is still due in full, not one penny having been paid on the principal.
If your Company was called upon to raise a sum equal to this
excess, and had to do so by the sale of its stock, it would have to sell,
at its present market price, something over 42 per cent of it. Had
the dividends been applied to the payment of the debt, it would long
since have been liquidated, and had the excess not been expended,
you would have had in your treasury to-day a cash balance of over
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars.
An examination of the books show under the heading of improve-ments,
that there was expended on your Road from June 30, 1890 to
September 1899 inclusive, the sum of $142,530.32, or an average of
$14,253.03 per year, while the interest from 1888 and the dividends
paid from 1893 to Sept. 1899 together, averaged $45,429 per annum
from 1893 to 1899.
8
By those clamoring for dividends at any cost and willing- to pay
them out of money that should have been applied to the maintenance
of the physical condition of the Road, the above may be considered
good and wise management; but to others less versed in such S3'stems
of finance, it seems incomprehensible unless the}' are founded upon
the principle of killing the goose that lays the egg.
Had the money paid in dividends been applied to the debt, it
would have been liquidated long since and we would have found
your property when we took charge of it, not rotted out, but in good
condition; and had the service now in existence been put on, it would
long ago have been, as it is rapidly becoming, on a sound dividend
paying basis, and the expenditure of the large sums of money during
the last two years required to put the Road in condition to transact
its business would have been unnecessary, and could have gone, as
a legitimate dividend, into the pockets of the stockholders.
We submit as a plain business proposition, if the true interest
of the Road and, necessarily, that of the owners of the property, are
to be subserved, that the debt ought to be refunded and gradually
paid off and the annual fixed charge of $19,500 thereby reduced
and eventually wiped out, and we believe, if the present policy of
rehabilitating the Road is continued, that after the coming }
rear its
revenues will not only be sufficient to begin the reduction of the debt,
but to pay a fair dividend to the stockholders also.
The payment of dividends, which, as the dilapidated condition
of the entire property two years ago, and the small amounts as shown
by the records to have been expended for betterments during the im-mediately
preceedihg eight or ten years clearly demonstrated was
made at the expense of its physical condition, by creating the un-warranted
impression that your Road was in fine order, well equip-ped
and making money, caused the Bonds representing your debt of
$325,000 to advance from par to 25 per cent above par, thereby in-creasing
your debt $81,250 and making the sum which you would
have to pay to-day, if 3'ou were prepared to take it up, $406,250 in-stead
of $325,000, its face value, and the sum at which it could have
been liquidated had no dividends been paid until after its settlement.
It has fifteen years to run from March 1902, which entails the pay-ment,
during that time, of $292,500 in interest alone, leaving the
principal still due.
It can with certainty be refunded at 4 per cent, and the proba-bilities
that it can be converted into a 3^ per cent loan are so great
that it may be considered a certainty, and we will, therefore, make
the calculations upon that basis.
At 25 per cent premium your bonds will cost $406,250.00, upon
which, interest at 3)4 per cent will be, per annum $14,218.75. Deduct
9
that from the present interest $19,500.00, and we have an annual sav-ing-
of $5,281.25, which in 15 years, the time the present bonds have
to run, will amount to $79,218.75, which ought to be saved to your
Company.
If we could do no better than to refund at 4 per cent the saving
to your company even at that figure would be $48,750.00.
It seems to us, that to business men, the advisability of refund-ing
needs no further argument.
It is a matter of congratulation to be able to point to the increas-ing
business which, by the efforts of your officers and employees, is be-ing
created and worked up for your Road, and to call your attention
to the gratifying fact that its earnings for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1901 are the largest in its history, exceeding those of the
previous year by the comfortable sum of $22,378.97.
In order that you may better appreciate the financial progress
your Road is making, a comparative statement of its earnings for
the past 6 years which is submitted below, may not be amiss.
Earnings for the year 1896 $140,636.53
1897 149,405.56
1898 174,507.87
1899 187,562.20
1900 218,165.96
1901 240,544.93
While most gratifying and encouraging, our increase in earnings
for the year, as shown above, are not more than 60 per cent of what,
under the crop conditions existing at the beginning of the truck season,
it promised to be. Our crop tonnage was less .by more than $2,800
than it was for the previous year, whereas every indication induced
the belief that it would be at least $12,000 to $15,000 greater, and
probably more. The damage to our tonnage by incessant rain and
the great storm has been placed by those familiar with the crop con-ditions
and the promised yield at the beginning of the season at not
less than $15,000, which they regard as a conservative estimate. Add
this amount to $22,378.97, our actual increase, and we have the sum
of $37,378.97 as the increase which we had a right to expect, and
which, had it been realized, would have raised our total earnings to
$255,544.93. Had the adverse conditions which decreased our ton-nage,
decreased our operating expenses in proportion instead of in-creasing
them it would have been better, for instead of being 63 per
cent of the earnings they would have been but 59^ per cent.
But notwithstanding the great destruction of crops, the loss of
tonnage and the increased cost of keeping up the track incident
thereto, our earnings have exceeded our operating expenses by the
sum of $88,509.73 which, but for the extraordinary expenses neces-
10
sary to put your Road in condition to safely and expeditiously trans-act
its business, could have been paid in dividends to its stockholders.
With the end of the present fiscal year, we hope to announce the
liquidation of the floating- debt; that the large extraordinary expen-ses
have ceased to be a necessit}\ and that 3'our road is upon a divi-dend
paying basis founded upon its legitimate earnings.
For more detailed information as to the condition and operation
of your Road you are referred to the reports of the various heads of
Departments.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES A. BRYAN,
President.

ROAD MASTER'S REPORT—Continued.
CONDITIONS.
Regarding- the Conditions of this Department will say the im-provements
though not marked by any evidences of extravigance, are
both perminent and active in enlarging conveniences and strengthen-ing
resources for handling economically the greatly increased busi-ness
of the Company with expedition, comportableness and security.
Expedition and comport might have been encouraged by a more
liberal (extravigant) use of money, but not security, for this we have
enjoyed to the fullest measure of our expectations, in proving equal
to all demands made upon the department without accident, increas-ing
cost, or limiting the securities of transportation.
In addition to this we have built twenty new side tracks, aggri-gating
9256 feet, besides changing many of the old ones for greater
convenience of transportation.
The condition of cattle guards, waterways and trestles are fair,
and can be maintained with usual annual cost.
Platforms are in good condition, many new ones having been
built during the year and all old ones thoroughly repaired.
Depots, where we have any entitled to mention, are in good order,
excepting Morehead Pier No. 1, old depot on the Neuse, this city,
and Goldsboro. All these will require extensive repairs, and the
cost will be considerable. For the greater convenience of the patrons
and the protection of the companies interest, depots should be built
at Beston, Falling Creek, Caswell, Dover, Core Creek, Riverdale,
Havelock and Atlantic. Water stations have improved greatly, how-ever
a new tank will be a necessity for Kinston during this year.
The general condition of the track is not altogether what we
would like at this season, but considering the unprecedented weather
for the last two months, our need of drainage, wasted road bed, want
of ballast, small (45 lb.) rail, heavy tonage and numerous trains, it is
quite all we could reasonably expect. Its securety has been thorough-ly
tested during this period and proved itself equal to requirements
by safely conducting traffic, though at many points between River-dale
and Tuscarora with not very marked degrees of comfort. How-ever
the favorable weather and the ballast now being furnished will
enable us to retrieve our losses and to make ourselves secure for the
winter. Ties apparently suffered most during this period, due no
doubt to the spongy condition of the road bed. These are being rap-idly
replaced and track filled with ballast. Policeing and right of
way cutting has been neglected for matters of greater importance,
but will be given due attention soon.
Yours truly,
W. H. GRIFFIN.
