TWENTY-EIGHTH 
Held  on  Tuesday.  May  26th,  186 3. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  Stockholders  of  the  Eichmond  and  Petersburg 
Railroad  Company,  held  at  the  office  of  the  Company  in  Richmond,  on 
Tuesday,  the  26th  day  of  May,  1863  : 

Gustavus  A.  Myers  was  appointed  Chairman,  and  M.  W.  Yarrington 
Secretary. 

The  Chairman  appointed  Me^trs.  B.  W.  Haxall,  T.  H.  Wynne,  and 
Dr.  Levin  S.  Joynes,  a  committee  toexamine  proxies. 

The  committee  reported  that  they  had  examined  the  proxies^  and 
found  them  to  agree  with  the  list  laid  before  them  by  the  Treasurer ; 
which  report  was  received  and  approved. 

There  being  present  in  person  and  by  proxy,  private  Stockholders 
entitled  to  1,973  votes,  (the  whole  number  of  votes  that  could  be  given 
by  all  the  stockholders  being  3,428  votes,)  the  same  being  a  majority  of 
all  the  votes  which  could  be  given,  the  meeting  proseeded  to  business. 

Whereupon  the  annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  with  its 
accompanying  documents,  were  laid  before  the  meeting,  and  after  hav- 
ing been  read  and  examined,  on  motion,  were  received  and   approved. 

The  following  report  of  the  committee  of  examination  was  laid  be- 
fore the  meeting,  and  on  motion,  was  received  and  approved. 

The  committee  on  examination,  report  that  they  have  examined  the  books 
of  the  Company  and  the  returns  made  bv  the  Treasurer,  andfind  them  correct 
and  very  neatly  kept.  They  have  also  examined  the  road  and  machinery,  and 
although  it  cannct  be  denied  that  neither  of  these  come  up  to  the  standard 
that  is  to  be  desired,  yet  v/hen  the  present  condition  of  the  country  and  tlie 
difficulty  of  obtaining  labor  and  supplies  are  taken  into  consideration,  we  are 
compelled  to  admit  that  it  is  rather  a  matter  of  surprise  to  the  committee  and 
congratulation  to  the  stockliolders,  that  the  property  of  the  company  is  in  such 
good  condition.  And  we  are  satisfied  that  it  will  compare  very  favorably  with 
that  of  any  other  Railroad  in  the  Confederacy, 

Respectfully  submitted. 

THOS.   H.  WYNNE,  Chairman  pro  tern.

On  motion,  the  meeting  then  adjourned. 

GUSTAVUS  A.  MYPmS;  Chairman, 
M.  W.  Yarrington,  JSec'^. 


ANNUAL  REPORT 


The  Board  of  Directors  respectfully  submit  to  the  stockholders  their 
annual  report,  with  the  accompanying  statements,  exhibiting  the  condi- 
tion of  the  affairs  of  the  Company,  for  the  fiscal  y«ar  ending  March 
31st,  1863. 

The  total  receipts  during  that  period,  amount  to  $545,659  21.  The 
expenditures  to  8180,962  64.  There  should  be  added  the  further  sum 
of  §2 1,487  58,  for  land  purchased  in  this  city  and  in  Chesterfield 
county,  making  the  whole  amount  expended  in  conducting  the  opera- 
tions of  the  company,  $202,450  22.  In  order,  howerer,  to  place  the 
stockholders  in  possession  of  the  entire  cost  of  rendering  the  road  ca- 
pable of  doing  the  transportation  required  of  it,  it  should  be  stated  that 
there  is  due  to  the  Government  for  three  locomotives,  four  freight  cars 
and  supplies,  a  sum  not  yet  fully  ascertained,  but  estimated  at  $48,000, 
which  will,  when  settled,  give  an  outlay  for  the  past  year  of  $250,450  22. 
The  Board  have  deemed  it  a  duty  to  make  these  large  expenditures,  in 
order  to  furnish  the  means  to  answer  as  far  as  practicable  the  demands 
upon  the  company  for  transporting  troops  and  supplies  for  the  array. 
The  capacity  of  the  road  has  thereby  been  very  greatly  increased, 
though  still  at  times  insufiicient  to  do  all  we  desire.  This  statement  of 
expenses  does  not  embrace  the  depreciation  of  road-way  and  rolling 
stock,  which  will  have  to  be  provided  for  at  the  close  of  the  war. 

Upon  a  comparative  examination  of  the  business  of  the  Company  for 
the  present  with  the  preceding  year,  it  will  be  perceived  that  the  only 
class  of  receipts  which  have  declined,  are  those  derived  from  the 
transportation  of  coal  and  freight  from  Clover  Hill.  The  contract  with 
the  Clover  Hill  Kailroad  Company,  terminated  on  the  1st  August  last. 
Previous  to  that  date  the  Board  entered  into  an  arrangement  with  the 
Clover  Hill  Efiilroad  Company  for  a  moderate  advance  upon  the  rates 
for  transportation  of  coal,  which  it  was  hoped  would  leave  a  margin  of 
profit,  but  the  unexpected  decrease  in  the  amount  of  coal,  and  the 
heavy  increase  in  the  cost  of  wages  and  supplies  resulted  in  so  large  a 
loss  that  the  Board  have  been  compelled  to  advance  the  rates  again. 

The  indebtedness  of  the  Company  has  been  lessened  by  the  conver- 
sion into  stock  of  three  of  the  6  per  cent,  coupon  bonds,  leaving  out- 


440 

standing  of  tliat  debt,  $22,500.     The  Company  has  also  aequiied  nine- 
ty (90)  shares  of  its  stock  at  a  cost  of  $6,750. 

The  business  of  the  Company  has  been  conducted  during  the  past 
year  under  very  trying  circumstances.  When  the  number  of  trains 
passing  over  the  road  and  the  large  amount  of  tonnage  is  taken  into 
consideration,  it  speaks  well  for  the  faithfulness  of  the  employees  of 
the  Company,  that  the  service  should  have  been  perforraed  mth  such 
punctuality,  and  exemption  from  casualties. 

Signed  in  behalf  of  the  Board.

Tables  marked  No.  3,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9  and  12,  hereunto  annexed, 
furnish  full  information  in  detail  relative  to  freight  and  travel. 

THE   ROAD   AND    BRIDGES. 

In  consequence  of  the  great  difficulty  experienced  in  procuring  iron, 
cross  ties,  and  bridge  timber,  and  the  necessary  mechanical  labor,  th6 
road  and  bridges  are  not  in  their  usual  good  condition,  but  it  is  believ- 
ed to  be  as  good  as  that  of  any  other  road  in  the  Confederacy.  Port 
Walthall  Branch  having  been  rendered  useless,  and  the  trains  diseon- 
. tinned  in  consequence  of  the  occupany  of  James  Eiver  below  City 
Point,  by  the  vandal  enemy,  the  iron  and  ties  were  taken  up,  and  are 
now  being  used  to  great  advantage  in  the  repairs  of  the  main  sten. 
Nine  thousand  new  cross  ties  have  been  laid  during  the  year. 

LOCOMOTIVE    ENGINES 

The  engines  are  in  as  good  condition  as  could  be  expected  j  they  aie 
all  in  running  order  ;  they  have  all  been  kept  constantly  in  use  durini; 
the  year,  and  in  consequence  of  the  great  scarcity  of  materials  for  re- 
pairs, and  of  machinists,  (th€  Secretary  of  War  having  declined  to 
grant  the  necessary  detail  of  mechanics)  it  has  not  been  possible  to  pu: 
them  in  as  good  order  as  the  pressing  eiigenci-es  of  the  country»re- 
quired. 

Three  engines  captured  from  the  enemy  have  be«n  purchased  froni 
the  Confederate  Government,  vi« :  the  Washington,  Jefferson  Davjy 
and  the  Holden  Rhodes.  The  first  has  been  performing  good  service 
since  December  last,  the  others  are  now  being  put  in  order  in  oar 
shops.  Two  engines  rented  from  the  Manassas  Gap  Railroad  Company 
(one  in  April  last,  and  the  other  in  August,)  have  been  kept  constant- 
ly busy,  and  have  performed  good  service.  The  numbor  of  miles  run 
by  the  engine?  amounts  to  100,339  and  the  cost  of  repairs  to  ten  cents 
pei  mile  run.

For  farther  information  relative  to  tbe  e»gineS;  I  refer  you  to  tables 
No.  10  and  11. 

ROI/LING   STOCK,   OR   CARS. 

The  cars  of  all  kinds,  have  been  kept  constantly  ruirning  during  the- 
year,  and  as  little  or  no  time  could  be  allowed  for  the  necessary  repairs, 
many  of  them  are  in  a  dilapidated  condition.  One  passenger  car  ha» 
been  built  in  the  company  shops  during  the  year,  and  two  new  box  car» 
have  been  purchased,  and  two  gondolas  received  from  the  Confederate 
Government,  in  exchange  for  sis  coal  cars  impressed  by  its  agents  and 
taken  to  Gordons ville  and  not  returned.  * 

There  are  now  7  first-class  and  6  second-class  passengers  cars,  3  bag 
gage  and  mail  cars,  27  box  and  2  stock  cars,  21  iats,  ^  gondolas,  l-S- 
coal  cars,  4  gravel  cars,  3  hand  cars,  5  pole  cars,  and  2  dirt  cars. 

MATERIALS     ON    HAND. 

The  value  of  the  materials  on  hand,  consisting  of  iron,  &teel,  lumber, 
ties,  wood  and  provisions,  i^  estimated  at  about  $20,000,  exclusive  of 
the  value  of  the  old  raib  now  on  hand. 

For  a  list  of  the  names  of  the  officers,  agents  and  employees  of  the 
Company,  and  the  pay  of  each,  I  refer  you  to  statement  marked  No 
13. 

In  closing  this  report,  it  becomes  my  duty  to  speak  in  terms  of  com- 
mendation of  the  agents  and  employees  of  the  Company.     They  have 
performed  their  several  duties  cheerfully,  and  in  a  satisfactory  manner 
Eespectfully  submitted, 

E.  H.  GILL,  Superintendent.
