REPORT. 


The  President  and  Directors  of  the  Lake  Shore  &  Michigan  South- 
ern Eailway  Company  submit  to  the  stockholders  the  following  report 
for  the  fiscal  year  ending  December  31,  1879  : 

ROAD  OPERATED, 

Main  Line— Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  to  Chicago  111 540.49  miles. 

Eleven  branches  and  tributary  leased  roads 637.18     '" 

Total 1,177.67  miles. 

This  Company  owns  1,024.94  miles,  (although  160.07  miles  are  em- 
braced in  three  other  organizations,)  and  leases  152.73  miles. 

Of  the  540.49  miles  of  main  line,  235.79  are  double  track,  making 
the  main  line  equal  to  776.28  miles  of  single  track;  and  two  branches — 
203.78  miles — are  so  situated  that  they,  with  the  main  line,  form  a  double 
line  of  road  between  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  Elkhart,  Indiana,  (101  miles 
east  of  Chicago,)  making,  together,  980.06  miles  of  track,  all  laid  with 
steel  rails.  There  are  also  some  miles  of  steel  rails  in  two  branches, 
making  in  all  1,082  miles  track  laid  with  steel  rails. 

CONSTRUCTION  AND  EQUIPMENT, 

These  accounts  remain  unchanged.  Nothing  was  charged  to  them  in 
1879,  notwithstanding  an  outlay  of  about  $150,000  for  items  fairly 
chargeable  to  construction,  and  $300,000  paid  for  seven  hundred  new  box 
freight  cars.  Of  this  amount  $138,915  was  derived  from  the  premium 
on  $882,000  first  consolidated  mortgage  bonds,  sold  to  pay  off  a  like- 
amount  of  bonds  (of  the  former  C.  P.  &  A.  Co.,)  which  matured  January 
1,  1880.  This  item  is  not  included  in  the  earnings  on  the  one  hand,  or 
expenses  on  the  other,  but  was  applied  directly  to  the  payment  for  cars  as 
stated.  With  this  exception  all  outlays  for  improvements  are  included  in 
the  operating  expenses.

CAPITAL  STOCK, 

The  Capital  Stock  of  the  Company  is  $50,000,000,  to-wit : 

Guaranteed  (10  per  cent).. 5,335  Shares— 8100 $     533,500 

Ordinary ...494,665  Shares—  100 49,466,500 

500,000  Shares— $100.. $50,000,000 

Of  the  guaranteed  stock,  the  claim  for  dividends  between  1857  and 
1863  has  been  settled  on  $360,600,  leaving  $172,900  still  unsettled. 

Dividends  of  5  per  cent.  February  1,  and  5  per  cent.  August  1,  have 
been  regularly  paid  on  this  stock  since  August  1,  1863,  the  date  of  the 
first  dividend. 

Of  the  ordinary  stock  the  Company  owns  2,679  shares  ($267,900,) 
which  appears  among  its  assets  in  the  balance  sheet. 

FUNDED  DEBT. 

The  first  mortgage  debt  of  the  Company  was  diminished  from  $23,000,- 
000  to  $22,750,000  by  the  regular  contribution  of  $250,000  to  the  Sink- 
ing Fund,  which  now  amounts  to  $2,250,000  first  mortgage  bonds  pur- 
chased and  cancelled. 

The  second  mortgage  debt  was  increased  $665,000,  which  represents 
the  cost  of  $1,732,500  first. mortgage  bonds,  and  $1,384,700  of  the  capital 
stock  of  the  Chicago  &  Canada  Southern  Railway  Company.  This  pur- 
chase gives  this  Company  the  control  of  that  Company's  road.  It  extends 
from  the  Detroit  P^iver,  at  Grosse  Isle,  to  Fayette,  Ohio,  a  distance  of  67 
miles.  From  Fayette  to  Butler,  an  important  station  on  our  Air  Line, 
and  the  eastern  terminus  of  the  Eel  River  Railroad,  a  distance  of  only 
about  35  miles,  the  road  is  graded,  and  this  Company  was  not-  only 
menaced  with  the  completion  and  opening  of  this  road  to  Butler,  but  pos- 
sibly its  ultimate  extension  "to  Chicago  as  originally  intended.  As  the  op- 
portunity occurred  to  obtain  the  virtual  ownership  of  this  road  at  the  low 
cost  of  $10,000  per  mile,  it  was  deemed  good  policy  by  the  Board  of 
Directors  to  accept  it.  This  Company  has  operated  that  road  since  No- 
vember 10,  1879,  as  agent  for  the  Chicago  &  Canada  Southern  Railway 
Company,  hence  the  earnings  and  expenses  of  that  road  are  not  included 
in  this  report.  It  is  proper  to  state,  however,  that  the  earnings  thus  far, 
in  the  winter  season,  are  somewhat  in  excess  of  the  cost  of  operating. 


7 


The  funded  debt  of  this  Company,  December  31,  1879,  amounted  to 
$35,915,000,  an  increase  of  $415,000.  The  usual  detailed  table  of  this 
debt  may  be  found  on  a  subsequent  page.

It  will  be  observed  that  the  net  earnings  in  1879  were  the  largest  in 
the  history  of  the  road,  notwithstanding  the  snow  blockade  lasting  through 


8 

January  and   February,  followed  by  a  bitter  railroad  war  in  May  and 
June,  during  which  rates  dropped  to  figures  which  were  unprecedented.

The  freight  business  in  1879,  as  compared  with  1878,  shows  the  fol- 
lowing results : 

Increase  in  tonnage,  1,442,849  tons 23.7  per  cent 

Increase  in  tons  one  mile,  392,955,614 29.3  per  cent. 

Decrease  in  rate  per  ton  per  mile,  cent,  .092 12.5  per  cent. 

Increase  in  freight  earnings,  $1,239,309 12.3  per  cent. 

The  number  of  tons  moved  one  mile  in  1879  as  compared  with  1877, 
shows  the  extraordinary  increase  of  sixty  per  cent. 

The  following  table  illustrates  vividly  the  marvellous  increase  in  pro- 
duction of  the  great  West,  and  of  the  freight  business  of  this  Road ;  and 
shows  also  the  constantly  diminishing  rate  at  which  the  public  has  been 
served.

Passenger  earnings  for  the  year  show  an  increase  of  *f>80,610,  coupled 
with  a  decrease  of  passenger  train  mileage  of  62,000  miles. 

:-  OPERATING  EXPENSES, 

The  road  was  operated  in  1879  for  "5'8£'per  cent.- of -the  earning&,  the . 
lowest  percentage  ever  reached.  This  included  all  outlay,  as  nothing  was 
charged  to  construction  or  equipment.  Besides  the  additions  to  the  prop- 
erty already  mentioned,  there  was  included  in  the  operating  expenses  the 
cost  of  9,500  tons  steel  rails,  increasing  the  number  of  miles  of  track  laid 
with  steel  from  1,002  to  1,082. 

CONCLUSION. 

The  year  under  review  completes  the  first  decade  of  the  existence  of 
this  Company.  The  management  congratulates  the  stockholders  upon  the 
late  decided  improvement  of  business,  following  the  long  period  (six  years) 
of  depression.  The  abundant  harvest  of  last  year,  following  the  liquida- 
tion of  the  preceding  years,  and  the  practical  settlement  of  the  financial 
policy  of  the  nation,  produced  a  general  feeling  of  confidence  in  "  better 
times,"  and  has  been  followed  by  an  increased  business  activity  all  over 
the  land,  which,  it  is  believed,  is  substantially  permanent  in  its  character. 

The  management  takes  this  occasion  to  record  the  faithful  and  ener- 
getic service  of  the  officers  and  agents  having  charge  of  the  Company's

HISTORY 


(Third  Paper.) 


By   C.   P.    LELAND. 


The  annual  reports  for  1877  and  1878  contained  a  condensed  history  of 
the  different  companies  embraced  in  the  present  organization.  It  may  not  be 
generally  known  that  a  determined  effort  was  made  to  build  a  railroad  sub- 
stantially on  the  present  line  of  the  L.  S.  &  M.  S.  in  Ohio,  fifteen  years 
before  the  opening  of  the  Cleveland  &  Toledo,  or  the  Cleveland,  Painesville 
&  Ashtabula,  now  embraced  in  the  L.  S.  &  M.  S.  As  a  forerunner  of  the 
present  corporation,  it  is  deemed  appropriate  to  give  a  permanent  record  to  a 
sketch  of  the  rise  and  fall  of 

THE  OHIO  RAILROAD   COMPANY. 

This  company  was  organized  at  a  residence  in  Painesville,  in  April,  1836, 
to  build  a  railroad  from  the  Pennsylvania  State  line,  through  the  northern  tier 
of  counties  of  Ohio  to  the  Maumee  River,  at  Manhattan,  then  a  paper  city 
rival  of  Toledo,  now  part  of  it.

In  1829,  the  year  in  which  Stephenson  made  his  triumphant  trial  trip 
with  the  Rocket,  on  the  Liverpool  &  Manchester  Railway,  Col.  Clinton,  a 
civil  engineer,  announced  his  project  for  the  Great  Western  Railway  from 
New  York  to  the  Mississippi  River,  a  distance  of  1,050  miles,  at  an  estimated 
cost  of  $15,000,000. 

Soon  after  another  and  a  rival  project  was  put  forth  to  build  a  railroad 
on  piles — ten  feet  apart,  on  which  were  to  be  placed  planks  nine  by  three 
inches,  edgewise,  which  supplied  the  tracks.  No  iron  to  be  used  except  the 
bolts  and  nuts  necessary  to  fasten  the  planks  to  the  piles.     This  road — 1,050 


52 

miles — was  to  cost  less  than  one  million  dollars  !     Here  is  the  estimate  made 
by  the  projector  : 

Right  of  way... $532,800 

Lease  of  mills  to  saw  planks 1,850 

Getting  out  posts _ 31,400 

Bolts  and  nuts 211,200 

Leveling  posts  and  laying  rails  (planks) '.. 62,800 

Setting  posts  and  piles 31,400 

Sawing 35,500 

Total $906,950 

Strange  as  it  may  seem,  this  unique  plan,  with  the  addition  of  a  light 
strap  iron  rail,  was  adopted  by  the  Ohio  Railroad  Company. 

The  charter  was  extremely  liberal,  bestowing  upon  the  company  banking 
privileges,  which  were  utilized,  as  will  be  painfully  remembered  by  the  surviv- 
ing business  men  of  that  day,  for  the  emission  of  three  or  four  hundred 
thousand  dollars  of  bills.  As  if  this  were  not  enough,  the  company  had  the 
benefit  of  the  so-called  "  Ohio  plunder  law,"  under  which  the  State  was  forced 
to  become  a  partner  to  the  extent  of  fifty  per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  capital 
stock  subscribed  and  paid  in  by  any  railroad,  turnpike,  or  canal  company. 
As  the  term  "paid  in"  was  construed  with  extreme  liberality,  a  subscriber  to 
stock  could  pay  therefor  with  a  deed  of  his  lot  or  farm  at  his  own  valuation. 
After  going  through  this  form,  gathering  in  a  lot  of  so-called  assets,  the  officers 
of  the  company  would  certify  to  the  Auditor  of  State  that  so  much  stock  had 
been  subscribed  and  paid  in,  and  demand  State  bonds  to  the  extent  of  one- 
half  the  sum  so  subscribed  and  paid  in.  Of  course,  the  larger  this  sum  the 
more  bonds  the  State  had  to  issue. 

So  many  schemes  and  projects  were  started  under  the  extraordinary  stim- 
ulus afforded  by  this  law,  it  was  foreseen  that  the  bond  mill  at  Columbus 
would  break  down  under  the  demand  from  all  sections  of  the  State,  hence  the 
law  was  repealed  before  a  very  large  amount  was  issued.* 

The  Ohio  Railroad  Company,  however,  got  in  its  work  (on  the  subscrip- 
tion book)  early.  Seven  men,  who  could  probably  have  raised  with  difficulty 
$25,000,  subscribed  to  the  capital  stock  of  this  road  to  the  extent  of  $600,000 
without  the  slightest  hesitation,  and  received  $219,000  in  State  bonds— a  dead 
loss  to  the  State. 


*The  State  issued  bonds  to 

Turnpike  companies - $1,637,500 

Canal  companies - 377,500 

Railroad  companies - 682,000 

Total - $2,697,000

These  bonds  and  the  currency  issued  by  the  company  constituted  nearly, 
if  not  quite,  all  the  means  for  the  prosecution  of  the  work.  Serious  disagree- 
ments as  to  the  best  way  to  raise  money  broke  out  in  the  Board  of  Directors. 
One  plan  was  to  purchase  flour  with  the  company's  notes,  ship  it  to  New  York 
for  sale,  and  to  use  the  avails  as  a  redemption  fund  for  the  notes  and  for  ex- 
change, which  soon  was  worth  ten  per  cent,  premium. 

In  1836,  the  route  east  of  Cleveland  was  surveyed  and  located.  Then 
the  Directors,  possibly  influenced  by  private  interests,  quarreled  as  to  where 
to  begin  the  work.  One  party  insisted  that  the  section  between  Fremont  and 
the  Maumee  River  be  constructed  first,  while  another  as  strenuously  insisted 
on  beginning  at  Cleveland,  and  proceeding  eastward.  The  former  plan  pre- 
vailed, and  the  first  pile  was  driven  at  Fremont,  near  the  present  L.  S.  &  M. 
S.  station,  June  19,  1839. 

PROPOSED  PLAN  AND  COST  OF  CONSTRUCTION. 

As  already  stated,  this  road  was  to  be  built  upon  piles  or  posts.  These 
posts  were  12  to  16  inches  in  diameter,  and  7  to  28  feet  long,  to  accommodate 
the  inequalities  in  the  surface  of  the  ground.  They  were  driven  ten  feet  apart, 
and  as  the  road  was  to  be  double  track,  there  were  four  rows,  or  2,112  piles 
per  mile.  Upon  these  piles  were  placed  longitudinally  chestnut  planks  or  sills. 
Then  came  the  cross  ties,  six  feet  apart,  requiring  for  both  tracks  1,760  per 
mile.  On  these  were  placed  the  stringers  or  wooden  rails,  8x8.  Last  of  all 
came  the  iron  ribbon,  for  it  was  little  more  than  that,  as  the  estimate  provided 
for  but  twenty-five  tons  per  mile  of  double  track  road.  That  the  piles  were 
well  driven  is  attested  by  the  fact  that  many  of  them  may  be  seen  to-day  at 
different  points  along  the  line.  The  prices  in  the  estimated  cost  of  the  road 
are  interesting :  Iron,  $80  per  ton ;  spikes,  9  cents  per  pound ;  white  oak 
ties,  20  cents  each;  timber,  17.00  to  18.00  per  thousand  feet. 

The  Chief  Engineer,  Cyrus  Williams,  estimated  the  cost  of  the  entire 
road,  177  miles,  double  track,  at  $2,653,676,  about  $16,000  per  mile. 

About  one-third  of  the  road  between  Cleveland  and  Toledo  was  built 
ready  for  the  strap  rail,  but  the  company  succumbed  to  the  hard  times  which 
followed  the  wild  speculative  era  of  1836,  and  in  1843  operations  ceased  before 
a  single  train  had  been  placed  upon  the  track.  The  child  of  the  feverish 
speculative  era  of  '36  died  from  exhaustion,  while  its  progenitors  were 
quarreling  as  to  the  best  method  of  rearing  it.  The  whole  scheme  was  generally 
regarded  as  visionary  and  wild,  yet  only  ten  years  afterwards  (1853)  the  Cleve- 


54 

land  &  Toledo  Railroad  was  opened,  and  was  a  brilliant  success  from  the  start 
Had  the  Directors  of  the  Ohio  Railroad  Company  pushed  on  a  little  farther,  laid 
forty  or  fifty  miles  of  track,  and  placed  trains  on  it,  thus  forming  a  basis  for 
selling  the  Company's  bonds,  it  can  hardly  be  doubted  that  their  road  would 
now  form  a  part  of  the  Lake  Shore  &  Michigan  Southern  Railway. 

The  writer  is  indebted  to  Clark  Waggoner,  Esq.,  of  Toledo,  for  nearly 
all  the  material  furnished  for  this  sketch.
