(No. 15.) BOSTON, HARTFORD AND ERIE. BOSTON, HARTFORD AND ERIE RAILROAD Co., 139 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, November 30, 1870. Hon. VAN R. RICHMOND, State Engineer, etc.: DEAR SIR.-The management and operation of the railway of this company is in possession of receivers appointed by the Supreme Courts of the States of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts; and all the books and papers relative to the affairs of this corporation are also in their hands. This company has no portion of its railway in operation in this State, and no work has been done thereon during the past year. Inclosed please find list of directors for the present year. I am, very respectfully yours, FRED'K A. LANE, President B., H. and E. R. R. Co. Communications intended for this company should be addressed FRED'K A. LANE, President, No. 139 Broadway, New York city. DEAR SIR. In response to your circular letter, I have the honor to submit, herewith, my report, as Treasurer of the Boston, Saratoga and Western Railway. You will observe that it covers, simply, the form relating to stock and debts, inasmuch as the road has not as yet gone into practical operation. Its organization was hardly perfected when the death of its President occurred, which, taken into connection with the condition of the money market and certain negotiations with other roads still pending, has prevented the completion of the design for which the road was organized. The report will, however, explain the present status of the Boston, Saratoga and Western Railway Company, which is now respectfully submitted. Yours, truly, JOHN W. POOLER, Treasurer. JOHN W. POOLER, Treasurer of the Boston, Saratoga and Western Railway Company, being sworn, deposes and says that the statements in the annexed report are true and correct, according to the best of his knowledge, information and belief. MATTHEW P. BEMUS, President of the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburgh Railroad Company, being sworn, deposes and says that the statements in the annexed report, which has been signed by him at the end thereof, are true and correct, according to the best of his knowledge, information and belief. MATTHEW P. BEMUS, President. (Signed) ... Floating debt, as by last report.. 1,143,663 63 7 per cent. 700,000 00 700,000 00 374,315 43 443,663 63 |
