bridges, and lu short everything pertaining to the struc? ture of the road, are found to be in the very best order. The directors approve the decision of vi tOOMm tO IttACOl lands heretofore 1.1 from tlio road the dcci-ion of a former Si. itt.uy.

The directors then Jpiocctd to discuss the question di the Gov? ernment iinally becoming fully reimbursed for all moneys expended on a. count of tho road. Tho directors believe that even without localized man? agement, in ens', matters proceed as at present ami without any futuro incresss of Government transportation, still the minent at the end of years will find itself fully reimbursed for all ex? incurred on account of tim road by tim live per cent which it will re. together with what is withheld under tue existing lam and tim percentage Bnved on transportation.

This estimate based upon the report furnished to the directors from the War and l'ost-Ol'iico Departments, gil ing tho auiouut of business which these two Depart? ments baie had over the line of tho mad. and the e.tim.ito m.ido docs not take Into consideration any menSSS in the annual amount of Government transportation or any saving in tho management of Indian atiairs.
