HAZARD'S REGISTER OF PENNSYLVANIA.
DEVOTED TO THE PRESERVATION OF EVERY KIND OF USEFUL INFORMATION RESPECTING THE STATE.
EDITED BY SAMUEL HAZARD.
VOL. IX .- NO. 4. PHILADELPHIA, JANUARY 27, 1832. NO. 213.
DELAWARE AND RARITAN CANAL COMPANY, AND CAMDEN AND AMBOY RAIL-ROAD AND TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
At a meeting of the Stockholders in the city of Phila- delphia, held agreeably to public notice, at the Coffee House, 14th January, 1832, Samuel Richards, Esq. was called to the chair, and Jos II. Dulles appointed secretary.
A communication was made on the part of the direc- tors, stating that the motive for calling the meeting was to invite an investigation into the affairs of the compa- ny, by the stockholders in Philadelphia, in order that they might satisfy themselves with regard to the past proceedings of the directors, and the present condition of the company; as certain charges had been made by persons opposed to the interests of the company, the report of which it was thought might have reached the stockholders in this city.
On motion of Thomas Biddle, Esq. the following re- solution was adopted:
Resolved, that a committee of four be appointed to investigate the transactions of the Directors, and the present condition of the joint companies, and to report the result of their inquiries to an adjourned meeting of the Stockholders, to be held on Monday afternoon, the 16th inst. at 4 o'clock. Whereupon the following gen- tlemen were appointed-Messrs Arthur Harper, Elhu Chauncey, John M. Atwood, and J. 11 Dulles, together with the chairman of the meeting.
Adjourned mecting, held 16th January, 1832, Samu- el Ri hards, Esq took the chair, when the following re- port of the committe, together with the accompanying documents, were read and accepted.
REPORT.
The committee report the result of the investigation, which was conducted during a session of six hours, with a pointedness and personality which would have been as painful to the committee, as it must have been offen- sive to the directors, had not the entire course of their management been in the strictest degree honorable and correct.
This scrutiny the committee believed it their duty to make, in consequence of the grounds of their ap- pointment; and finding the Directors, to the fullest ex- tent candid and unreserved, they have no cause to regret the course they have pursued in the investigation
The books of both companies were submitted to the committee, from which it appears that instalments have heen called in by each company to the amount of $450,000.
The canal company books exhibit the following facts: that of these instalments, which have been paid within $300 , (which deficiency is chiefly due by stockholders having claims for damages on the route, ) there has been expended, as per statement A, will particularly appear, and which is herewith presented, $360,912 09 To which is to be added amount paid rail- road company, 50,000 00
$410,912 09
Leaving a balance to meet the demands accruing since 1st January, 1832, 39,087 91
Vor. IX. 7
The several items in this schedule of expenditures have been examined where they appeared at all im- portant, and the statement B, giving particulars of the real estate and materials, presents to the stockholders a very gratifying view of this department of the compa- nies' interest; the real estate being of great value, and the materials such as prudent foresight has gathered in large quantities, in preparation for an early prosecution of the work this spring.
The items which have more particularly claimed the investigation of the committee, are those of salaries and contingent expenses.
1st, Salaries-Amount $4,700 per annum. This in- cludes the salaries of the president, secretary, and trea- surer, being an average of less than $1600 each. These in the particular items, are found low in comparison with those of similar institutions, and the more strkingly so, when it is considered, that the discharge of the du- ties exposes the parties, in the early stage of the work, to great personal fatigue, and involves expenses which the committee believe quite equal to the respective sa- laries. On this point the committee are entirely satisfied.
2d, Contingent expenses-Amount $4,722 54. This item includes the ordinary charges incident to such an enterprise-all expenses and payment to officers and agents employed on the line of the canal, in procuring land and other duties in the preliminary arrangements of the company, incurred from May 10, 1830, when the company began their operations, to the 25th Oct 1830, at which last period the salaries commenced; and the committee having examined the details, are satisfied that economy and integrity, clearly mark th's expendi- ture, so very small in comparision to that of other com- panies.
The item under the head of Engineer corps, struck the committee as being large, but an examination into particulars has convinced them, that there is nothing extravagant, and the report of the canal commissioners of Pennsylvania recently made, exhibits in details the most distressing and mortifying, the folly of wasting time and money, under the misguidance of incompetent engineers, with a false notion of economy.
The books of the rail-road company were next ex- amined, from which the committee gather the following facts:
That the instalments have been paid up (excepting a very small sum due by some of the minor stockhold- ers) say $450,000 00
To which add amount received from the canal company, 50,000 00
Interest gained on balances invested in the public stocks, with sales of materi- als not wanted, 2,122 67
502,122 67 There has been expended, as appcars per schedule C, 448,534 90
Leaving a balance on the books, 53,587 77
From which is to be deducted the amount of expenditures at the Amboy station, not brought into the books on 1st Jan'y, 11,747 33
$450,000 00 1 Leaving a balance to mect the demands accruing since 1st January, 41,840 39

MILITARY CONVENTION.
[JANUARI
The items of expenditure under the heads wharfing, real estatate, and materials, are in the highest degree satisfactory to the committee, and most convincingly prove a sagacity and care on the part of the directors highly creditable to them, and advantageous to the com- pany. The particulars are found annexed in state- ment D.
The items under the head of salaries and incidental expenses are, in like manner, as in the case of the ca nal company, entirely satisfactory to the committee.
The salaries are the same in amount, and subject to the same remarks, with the exception that the presi- dent of this company receives no salary as such -- the amount corresponding with that of this officer, being given to the chief superintending agent.
The incidental expenses amount to $11,508 66, in- cluding the salaries of nine agents, regularly employed on various parts of the line, not chargeable to any particular account, exceeding in amount >5000, toge- ther with other expenditures on the road, not referable to any particular account until the point of application is decided, as a steam engine for breaking gravel, costing $1000, is also included with the expenses of ar- bitrating litigated cases on the route. This item is sa- tisfactory to the committee, and they are assured that it will be so to the stockholders.
The pecuniary transactions of each of the companies, being monthly submitted to an investigation of the other, furnishes a guard, were any requisite, to secure the faithful expenditure of the funds-the vouchers for all amounts exceeding one dollar, being examined, and the accounts attested.
The item, legal expenses, is so small in each of the companies as to be matter of particular notice, being in the one, $970, and in the other, $1010 33.
To the inquiry whether the large stockbolders, citi- zens of New Jersey, bad paid up their instalments, it appears that they have not only done so in every in- stance, but in each of the companies, these· gentlemen have advanced very large sums of money frequently, and for considerable periods of time, wben necessi- ties of the companies required it, and when instal- ments could not be conveniently called in.
.
To another intimation, that the original large stock- holders had sold out a part of their stock, the committee are satisfied that the charge is entirely false, and that, in no case have they diminished their interest in the works, even under the allurements of an advance of for- "ty dollars per share, affording thus the fullest evidence of their confidence in the project, and their devotion to its concerns.
In reference to the bill now pending before the legis- lature of New Jersey, although some of its provisions appear burthensome to the stockholders, yet the com- mittee believe that the security of their interests will be promoted by its adoption, and they do therefore ap- prove the encouragement given to this bill by the di- rectors.
On the canal, fourteen miles are nearly completed in the excavation, that is, from Trenton to Kingston, so that it could be finished in'a montb, with good weather. The work done being at a saving of >14.127 72 below the estimates Five locks and several important cul- verts are under way.
On the rail-road the grading is completed from Stew- art's Point below bordentown, to Amboy, with the ex- ception of less than four hundred feet at Bo. dentown, which will be very shortly finished.
an increase of speed, which will give to the travelling on th's road a decided preference over any other.
In the neighbourhood of Camden, from the landing on the Delaware opposite the city, four miles and a half are graded, with the exception of about half a mile, and this is by far the most expensive and difficult part of the route from Bordentown to Camden; the re- maining portion being almost natural level. Con- tracts for all the important bridges between Camden and Bordentown being now made, it is the determina- tion of the directors to prosecute the work, so as to complete the entire route from Camden to Amboy, as soon as practicable:
The following resolutions are respectfully submitted.
By order of the committee. SAMUEL RICHARDS, Chairman.
The following resolutions were then adopted:
1. Resolved, that the stockholders entertain the full- est confidence in the president and d rectors of the re- spective companies, and they do heartily give their un- qual fied approbation of the course pursued by them.
2. Resolved, that the thanks of the stockholders be given to the presidents and directors of both companies, for the laborious, faithful and skilful execution of the trust committed: to them.
3. Resolved, that the stockholders, being informed by the directors that contracts for building bridges over Cooper's, Penshawken and Rancocus creeks have just been made, they do highly approve the determination manifested by the directors to prosecute this part of the road, and to effect an early completion of the entire work from Camden to Bordentown, and thence to Am- boy.
The bill before the legislature of New Jersey being read, by direction of the meeting, the following resolu- tion was adopted unanimously:
4. Resolved, that the bill now before the legislature of New Jersey is approved, inasmuch as it is highly im- portant to secure a joint and common interest with the state through which the entire line of both works is pro- jected.

Rails are laid at Bordentown and Amboy four miles and a half, and the directors have resolved to proceed with all force, so as to be able to connect the two ends of the ral-road by a single stage of horses, making about twenty miles of rail road: and, from their past experi- ence, they confidently believe, that this can be effected in the course of the month of May. By this means there will be a great saving of expense of transportation and | ing, Alexander, of Westmorel'd, Wells, Underwood,

2. That any person, after his arrival at the age of twenty six, may, if he will, continue to perform duty with, and be entitled to the advantages of either the first class, or volunteers, but not subject to contribution to the military fund; but on ceasing to perform duty, he shall contribute annually 50 cents to that fund.
