PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
New Bern, N. C, Sept. 21, 1899.
To the Stockholders of the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad Company
:
Gentlemen:—We have the honor to submit for your considera-tion
the 45th Annual report of the condition, operation and financial
standing of your road, at the end of the last fiscal year.
We completed the siding into The Blades Lumber Companj' plant,
on the south side of Trent River near the city of New Bern, and
also a siding at Croatan for the Blades Company, both sidings be-ing
something near one mile in length at a cost of four thousand
dollars, which has proved to be a good investment for this company.
We settled the claim of the Richmond Locomotive Works for the
shifting locomotive contracted for by Mr. Chadwick, the former
president of this company, paying them fifteen hundred dollars or
thereabout. We did what we could to get the Richmond Locomotive
people to build for this company another locomotive of different
structure, but they insisted that they had been put to the trouble of
buying material for the shifting locomotive and that the material
could not be disposed of without loss to them, and that they were
damaged by the annul ing of the contract more than the amount
claimed by them.
We consulted able counsel in regard to their claim and was ad-vised
to settle the matter, which we did.
We received on or about the first of last November the locomotive
referred to in our 44th annual report from the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. The locomotive was fully up to the contract, and has given
satisfaction.
We purchased twenty-five flat cars at a cost of fifty-three hun-dred
and seventy-five dollars, delivered in New Bern.
Owing to the extreme wet fall and winter of 1898 and 1899, we
were compelled to use a larger quantity of gravel on the road bed
than had formerly been used, in consequence of which all the gravel
belonging to this company at the Neuse River Bridge near Kinston
was consumed. We deemed it necessary to purchase three acres of
gravel land which we did at a cost of $100.
The business of this company having increased, and not having
warerooms sufficient, we purchased one half of the lot formerly oc-cupied
by the Stimson Lumber Company, on Neuse River, near this
compan3r 's warehouse, for the purpose of enlarging the warerooms
of the company, at a cost of $4285, including all costs connected
with the purchase, which price, in our opinion, was very cheap.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT—Continued.
Owing- to lumber and cotton seed being- extensively shipped over
the lines of this road, we deemed it necessary to purchase track
scales for,the Station at New Bern, which we have erected at a cost
of about eight hundred dollars.
The present management paid to the stockholders during the
month of December, 1898, one per cent dividend, and since the 15th
of September, two per cent dividend, making a total of three per
cent, since your last annual meeting-.
The months of January and February, 1899, were the worst in
point of weather for many years, and there was but a small amount
of freight passing over the lines, consequently railroads did not
make any money for their owners for these months, whereas hereto-fore
January and February have been the best paying months in the
year for owners of railroad property.
It is a source of gratification to call your attention to the reports
of the heads of the several departments, which gives in detail, the
operations of your property for the last fiscal year and of the condi-tion
of the road bed.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
D. W. Patrick,
President.
The Committee on Finance submits the following Report.
To the Stockholder of the A. & N. C. R. R. Co.:
Your Committee attended regularly at the office of the Company
and examined in detail the books, accounts and vouchers of the
Treasurer for the fiscal year ending- June 30, 1899, and found them
neatly and correctly kept, and all disbursements evidenced by ap-proved
vouchers.
Your Committee finds that the total amount of money that came
into the hands of the Treasurer from all sources for the year ending
June 30, 1899, was $226,533,37
Cash on hand June 30, 1898 47,781.32
Total to be accounted for $274,314.69
Disbursed for same period 234,336.94
Leaving balance on hand $ 39,977.75
Your Committee finds from the Auditor's statement, that the
earnings and expenses of the road for the year ending June 30, 1899,
to be as follows:
Gross Earnings $187,562.23
Fixed Charges $ 25,486.91
Extraordinary Expenses 26,817.58
Dividends 17,965.00
Operating Expenses 108,521.93

ROAD MASTER'S REPORT—Continued.
While as you will see from foregoing statement, we have had a
large amount of permanent improvement work done (mostly by our
regular forces) and notwithstanding the very rainy weather of il-msststhe
entire period, and the snows and freezes of the seven st
winter of the last forty years, we have, by persistent endeavor, kept
the bridges and trestles and road bed in fair condition and in mc st
respects improved as is apparent by the splendid schedules made by
our trains.
While we feel to congratulate our department upon these condi-tions,
we would still call attention to the need of more work with
gravel train, in order that track men may be able to do more durable
work. We have been at great disadvantage for want of this service,*
as in many places the ditches cannot be cleaned out without train
except at great expense, and the track in "cuts" and on muddy sur-faces
cannot be kept in good repair without the addition of gravel.
The depots and warehouses are in fair condition except the shed
for storing guano etc., at New Bern. This structure needs thorough
repairs at an early day. Also the carpenter shops to which I called
attention in my last report. With these and some other minor ex-ceptions
this branch of our department is in good condition—the
warehouse at Pier 1, Morehead City, having been recently exten-sively
repaired.
Our platform capacity has been greatly increased in some cases
and thoroughly repaired along the line and mostly in good order.
In my last report I recommended the substitution of "split-switches"
for the old stub on main line; this request has been par-tially
complied with; but I would again call attention to this great
necessity wherever change has not been made.
We have made special endeavors to get best timber for Bridges
and Trestles and have by the assistance and co-operation of accom-modating
and enterprising mill men along our line, succeeded well
in this particular.
Yours very truly,
T. D. HEWITT,
Road Master
