A Statement, exhibiting the number and length of the sections of the Sixth Division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-the names of the Contractors by whom they were graduated-the quantity of excavation and embankment on each section-the actual cost of cach section-the total quantity of earth handled on the Division, and the total cost of the graduation of the Division— accompanying the Sixth Annual Report of Caspar W. Wever, Superintendent. 1st October, 1835.

* Several points of Rocks were removed by Messrs. Littlejohn, Higgins and Macubbin; for which $622.94 were paid—the cu bic yards in these points are estimated-all the other work was measured.

NOTE. If the 2 miles and 10 poles next above the "Point of Rocks," and the two miles next below the Bridge at Harper's Ferry, both of which distances were graduated by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, be added, then the length of the Division will be 12 miles and 129.82 poles. The total distance from Pratt street, Baltimore, was shown in a former report to be 67 miles 199.16 poles. If to the length of this Division be added the total distance from Pratt street to the "Point of Rocks," then the whole distance from Pratt street to the Bridge at Harper's Ferry, will be 80 miles and 8.82 poles. The graduation between Baltimore and the "Point of Rocks," cost $804,147.40, which, added to the amount shown above, makes the gross sum of $863,140.74.

dollars, (two fifths of which is reserved for
the State,) as passed by the House, was

Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That the Governor shall appoint three Appraisers in each county in the State, who shall be resident freeholders, whose duty it shall be, on application of any person interested, who may have subscribed for Stock, to repair to the place within their respective counties, and make a fair cash estimate of the property of such subscriber, reduce the same to writing, specifying the kind and descrip

Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That upon closing of the books of subscription, should the amount subscribed be sufficient to organize the Board of Directors, they may proceed to distribute the stock, and receive the mortgages from subscribers, and issue their stock certificates. Provided, that such mortgages shall not be taken on any other than real estate. The mortgages shall be taken for double the amount of the stock taken by each subscriber, and shall be given to secure the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds which may be received by the Company from the State under their charter. And the mortgages shall be in such form as the Governor of the State and Attorney General shall prescribe, and shall be made to the Governor for the time being and his successors in office. Upon the first opening of the Books as aforesaid, should the amount subscribed exceed the amount of the capital stock or thirty thousand shares, the same shall be reduced to that number by striking off from the largest number of shares in any one subscription until the reduction is effected. Provided, that five thousand shares of the capital stock of this Company shall be reserved to the corporate authorities of the city of Mobile, and for which the State shall not issue their bonds.

Countersigned,

Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, that in order to secure the State in the payment of the interest and principal of the bonds, by the Company according to the provisions of this charter, all the mortgages given by the stockholders, amounting to double the amount of the bonds aforesaid; and also the road constructed by the Company, with all its fixtures, shall remain pledged to the State until the entire extinguishment of the bonds shall have been effected, or satisfactorily provided for, and no transfer or release of said mortgages by the Company shall be valid, except such as are herein provided for.

Sec. 13. And be it further enacted, that should the Company fail, neglect, or refuse to pay the State bonds aforesaid, interest and principal as the same shall become due and payable, this charter shall be forfeited and the mortgages which have been taken for stock, shall enure to the benefit of the State, and the property mortgaged may be proceeded against, seized, and sold for the amount of said bonds, or such portion thereof as the Company may have failed to pay. Provided, however, that the road hereby authorized to be constructed, with all its fixtures and appurtenances thereunto belonging, shall be held first liable for such defalcation, and may be proceeded against, seized and sold, under the pledges contained in this charter, or such portion there. of as may be necessary to meet such defal

cation.

Sec. 17. And be it further enacted, that at the regular annual meetings of the stockholders of said Company, it shall be the duty of the President and Directors in office for the preceding year to exhibit a clear and distinct statement of the affairs of the Company under such penalties as may hereafter be provided by law. And also at any called meeting of the stockholders a majority of those present may require similar statements from the President and Directors, whose duty it shall be to furnish them when thus required, and at all general meetings of the stockholders, a majority in value of all the stockholders in said Company may remove from office any President or any of the Directors of said Company, and may appoint others in their stead, but this power shall not extend to the removal of any Director appointed on the part of the State. Nor shall any thing be construed to authorize the State to continue their appointment of Directors, after the extinguishment of the State bonds are made, or are provided for to the satisfaction of the General Assembly. But thereafter the whole number of Directors shall be chosen by the stockholders, as provided for in the fifteenth section of this act: Provided, however, that whenever the dividends of said road, deposited in Bank, shall be equal to the amount of the bonds issued by the State, the property hereby mortgaged to secure the State, shall be released, and the stockholders be entitled to all the interest and benefits of said road, as if no pledge or mortgages had been given.

Sec. 10. And be it further enacted, that in order, farther to insure the payment of said bonds, interest and principal, as the same shall become due on the part of the said Company, the entire nett profits of said roads, as the same shall accrue, shall be deposited in the State Bank of Alabama as a sinking fund, to be applied exclusively to the payment of the bonds aforesaid. And no distribution of dividends shall be made among the stockholders until said funds shall reach the amount of the aforesaid bonds.
