New York and Erie Rail Road. Company organ- ized in July, 1833. The act authorizing the road was passed April 24, 1832. The first preliminary survey was made in 1832, by De Witt Clinton, jr., by order of the government. In 1834 the Governor appointed Benj. Wright to survey the route; who, assisted by Jas. Seymour and Charles Ellett, began the survey May 23d. and finished it the saine year. In 1835 the Co. was reorganized, and 40 mi. were put under contract. In 1836 the Comptroller was directed to issue $3.000.000 State stock to aid in constructing the road. In 1845 the State released its lien on the road, and authorized the original stockholders to surrender two shares of old stock, and receive one share of new. April 8, 1845, a branch was allowed to be built from Chester to Newburgh, 19 mi. The road was opened as follows : from Piermont to Goshen, Sept. 22, 1841; to Middletown, June 7, 1843; to Port Jervis, Jan. 6, 1848 ; to Binghamton, Dec. 28, 1848 ; to Owego, June 1, 1849; to Elmira, Oct. 1849; to Corning, Jan. 1, 1850; and to Dunkirk, May 14, 1851. The Newburgh Branch opened Jan. 8, 1850. The road is compelled to pay a bonus of $10,000 annually to the State of Pennsylvania for the priv- ilege of passing a short distance in that State. Ample details will be found in The New York & Erie R. R. Guide, the annual and special reports of the company, and especially that of Nov. 1853, and in the following ilocuments of the New York Legislature: Senate Doc. No. 12, of 1836; Nos. 37, 38, of 1839; Nos. 18, 58, of 1842. Assem. Docs. Nos. 27, 171 of 1838; No. 47, of 1839; No. 215, of 1840; Nos. 113, 297, of 1841 ; and No. 50, of 1842. The Patterson & Ramapo (N. J.) R. R., 29} mi., and the Union R. R .. fo mi .. the Che- mung R. R., and the Elinira. Jefferson, & Canandaigua R. R. are leased and operated by the this company.
