Excerpt from Report of Col. Walter Gwynn, Chief Engineer North Carolina R. R. Co., To the Board of Directors at Meeting in Salisbury, Jan. 10, 1856 Returning after this digression to the subject before me. The Cont1aet01s on the North Calolina Railroad weie all s'toclholde1s, and witlr only two 01 three exceptions entilely destitute of experience in the wolk they undertook; they com menced thei1 contracts very genei all r in J anuai y, 1802, and, on the 1st of J anua1v, 1853, without the aid of a single dol la1 fiom the Treasuiy of the Company but relying entirely upon their o11u 01 ed1t and means, thei1 united labor an101mted to $500, 000, which, cairied to the c1edit of _thei1 Sto'ck' sub scriptions, fulfilled the second condition of the subscription on the part of the State, and biought he1 in as a paitnei in the 1 eat enterprise. This (coupling the subscription of a million of dollars by individuals, chiefly ta1me1s and w01king out a half a million upon theil own 1esour ces) 1s an achievement 1111 piecedented in the annals of the public wmks of this or any other co1mtr.y, and wherever known, (and it ought to be pub lished every whe1e, ) will disabuse the public mind and mudi catef the energy, enterpiise and 1ndust1 y of the citizens of the State.1 5. I have repeatedly saidpublicly, and perceiving no im propriety in it, I availmyself of this occasion, to say that, in my experience, no w exceeding thirty years, I have not found on any public work with which I have been connected, a set of Contractors more reliable than those with whom I have had to deal on the North Carolina Railroad, and none with whom my intercourse has been so pleasant and agreeable.
