Bullock, in December, 1870, and a Lower Bid Accepted. IMPORTANT STATISCIT OP FACTS. OP ORIAT INTEREST TO THE TAX PAYERS OP GEORGIA. 7b the Honorable Senate, and House of Re presentalivee, of the State cf Georgia, in General Assembly Met : The memorial of Jol n Collier, A. C, k B. F. Wyly, A. K. Seago, and the'r associates, whose names are hereunto an nexed, reepeotfnlly showetb. That on the 26th October, 1870, Rufus B. Bollock,by virtue of an Act passed on the 24th Octo ber, 1870, Issued notice for proposals to be received until and inolndtug tbe 26th day of December, then next following, for the lease of the Western A Atlantic Railroad—said notice requiring the pro posals to “state in full the namisand re- •idences of the parties uniting to make the proposition, the amount that each of the parties therein named was worth,over and above their debts and liabilities, to gether with a full description of tbe char outer of ths security which will be oflered to complete the bond.” It was not stated whether tbe Road would be leased or not, nor the time at which the proposals would be acted up on, nor when the further requirements of the law, touching the execution of the lease, and the giving of the boiftl, must be performed. A majority of your memorialists, fin connection with othen, who have since withdrawn from their Company), on the 24th December, 1870, having associated themselves together for the purpose of leasing said road, in pursuance of said Act, offered proposals in writing, in full compliance with said notioe of Governor bullock; that said proposal contain a list of the names and residences of all tbe then members of tbe Company, and the amount that each one was worth; that the aggregate of said sums wss nearly oue million of dollars, and that all of the Company were citizens and residents ot Atlanta. That the bid of your memorialists' Company was in the alternative, thirty- four thousand live hundred dollars per month for the whole term, or if prefer red by the State, a different distribution of tha payments, making an aggregate, for the whole twenty years, of thirty-six thousand five hundred dollars per month for the whole term, and agreed to accept the individual and oolleetive liability impound upon them by the Lease On the same day, Joseph E. Brown, H. L Ei-t-ii Hun on Cameron. Thomas boon, John B. Delano, and othen made proposals to lease tbe road for twenty thousand dollars per mouth, whiah was ■ooepted fay Governor Bullock, on the 27th of December, and the lease was ex ecuted in aster disregard of the rights of your memorialists, the interest of the Dials, and tha law authorising the lease. Pris.: In utter disregard of the rights of your memorialists. Tow memoriol- k - 1 ■“—* *“■* was tor nine thousand , and their alterna- dollan per month more than that of their competitors, and was in e+ery re spect in exact oompliance with tho law and with the notice iaaaed by the Gov ernor. Tbe real advantage to the State of our first bid, was 12,280,000, without interest; with interest, 33,870.000. The advantage to the State, from our second bid, with interest, was four nillion, four hundred and eighty-eight thousand dol lars. Therefore, it was the highest and beatt-id. After the bid of your memorialists was put in, Messrs. W. B. Johnson, a Direc tor in tbe Central Railroad A Banking Company, Wm. a Holt, President of the Booth-Western Railroad Company, and A. J. White, President of the Macon A Western Railroad Company, who were in the rival Company, wrote to tho Gov ernor that the respective Companies to which they belonged would not stand seourity for the Company of your memo rialists. And, therefore, Governor Bul lock requested such amendment to our offer of security on the bond as might be neoeesary to enable him to entertain it, and to do it at onoe, and to send the re eponse by the bearer. Protesting against and denying his right to accredit this statement from un authorized persons, and seeing clearly its purposes and objects, your memorialists' company insisted that it could give the seourity, butiu addition thereto, per sonal security of resideuts of Georgia, “not even doubtful,” worth over 38,000,- 000, and asked only a reasonable time to give this additional soourity, (when no time was specified for giving it under Bollock's notioe,) this offer was rejected and the lease was awarded to the com peting oompany, as your memorialists insists, iipon no legal land and no legal se curity whatever. This refusal of Governor Bullock wrs founded upon the most flimsy and ille gal pretext!. He asserts in his letter to Mr. Dobbins that the offer of security was not in conformity with the notice to reoeive proposals, which is wholly nn true. Secondly, Bullock further says, “That both the letter and spirit of the act au thorizing the lease of that property would render it impossible for me to ao- oepta proposal which would in effect oonfine the usefulness of tho property to the sole benefit of Atlanta.” There was no suoh letter or spirit of the aot It required that leasees should not consist of less than seven persons, a majority of whom should be residents (5 rears) of the State; nothing else touch- ng the persons or residence of the les sees. They might have been all of one family, living not only at Atlanta, but in any town or village, or on any farm in the State of Georgia. Thirdly, Governor Bullock averred that by the law it wts not bis duty to live publio notioe or acoept the highest lid, “unless other things were equal.” These other things, if they refer to any thing moro thau a compliance with the act, are wholly illegal, and mere pretenoes to oover his assertion of unlimited power over this publio property. Governor- Bullock distinctly staled that he had no doubt gf the ability tjf our company to give the bond with the required security, if he had accepted our proposals. Therefore, tbe want ot good security under the law was not the reason for refusing tbe lease to the highost and best bidders. This refusal was also in direct viola tion of the rights of the State, and the law authorizing the lease. We have al ready shown a loss to the State of over four millions of dollars by rejecting our bid, but even this item, as largo as it is, is by no means t' e greatest injury to the commonwealth. The compuny to whom the lease should have been awarded wero required by the 2d seotlon of the Act “ to give bond with ample security fi-r tbe sum of eight millions of dollars, ” and also, “ the bond shall bind the les sees and their aeouritiea for the prompt payment of the sums agreed upon at the end of each month,” Ao., Ao. We submit that these lessees have given no bond and no security whatever, and that the State bos no contractor obligation, real or pretended, which binds them in dividually or collectively tor one single cent, either for the rent or tho return of the publio property. .The Act intended the lessees to be reel men and not mon of straw—that they should be worth over five hundred thous and dollars at least, over their debts; that they should, as lessees and individ- uals, give bond and seourity for eight millions of dollars. By arrangement with Bullock, before they bad complied with the second seotion of the bill, these lessees, after the lease had been awarded them, without the performance of the re- uirements gf the lection as to security, got bemselves incorporated "uuder the name and stylo of the Western and At lantic Railroad Company,"uudertho 4th section of tho bill. And this corpora tion, by Joseph E. Brown, its presideut pro, tem., made the bond wltioli the lessees wers bound to make under the law. Now, this corporation had no right under the law to make the bond. Their charter imposes no personal liability on the corporators. Therefore, if the bond bound anything, it only bound the pro perty of the corporation—whieb was nothing but tho State's own property.— And this lot of millionaires have token good care not to kind themselves person ally for a single cent Tbo security to the bond is equally bad with the princi pal. In the first plaoe, tha charters of nei ther of the companies, whose names are signed by their officers or agents as secu rity, authorized either of them to bind such corporations as security, and espe cially on contracts in which the compa nies nave not oue single dollar's interest This needs no argument. In the second place, if the corpora tions had such power, it oould only be used by the corporators, and not by the officers of the corporation. Mr. W. B. Johnson, who signs himself as tbe Agent of the Central Railroad, etc., was ouly a Director, and not only acted without power, but without the h ust authority, even from the officers of the corporation; tbe rest were signed by the Fresideuts of the several corporations, without any lawful authority from the corporators, under the general law of corporations; those corporations out of the State had no more authority than those inside, and therefore the bond is void, and Bullock rave these lessees tbe learo in total vio- ation of this fundamental provision of the law which be pretended to execute, and the lease itself is, for these reasons, null and void. Another of the reasons given by Bul lock for refusing us the lease, is, that “the Company to whom (he had) leased the road harmonized all the oonflioting interests which might arise between the different portions ot the railroad system of tbe State.” This same view is constantly pressed by ths present lessees upon the public mind for sinister purposes. It baa not one word of troth in it. The most of tbe Presidents, and some of the Direc tors of tbe Georgia railroad companies, aooording to the language of one of the lessees, “got a finger in the pie;" bnt the lease does not give a single railroad cor- ■oration in the State a single dollar of egal interest in the lease, nor any legal control over the Western A Atlantic Rail- load. The whole statement is based upon the unfounded assumption that these Presidents and Directors “are the corporations and corporators whom they illegally seek to bind for their own private purposes. The Central Railroad utterly disavows the action of its pretended agent. One of these Presidents has absconded, and cer tainly one other of these les <oes has been turned out of his position ns Director in one of the corporations. All t-ie rest may be at any auuual election. But whether they are in office or out, the corporations have no security from them as lessees, for any interest they may have in tho operations of tho State Road. It has also been said that it is desirable to keep tho road out of the hands of politicians. Mauy of the leasees in the State and out of it are well known as the most inveterate of that class. Omitting those in tho Htato as too well known to need mention—what is Delano ? what is Simon Cameron 7 It is well to rest on him. Tbe Company to whioh your me morialists belong are all business men— Georgians, identitled with her interest, her business, and her prosperity. They are worth more than two millions of dol lars, a very large amount of which is taxable real estate within tho State, open to inspection. We are neither foreigners nor adventurers. We have refrained from constant appeals to the publio. We appeal to tho representatives of the peo ple to do us justioe, and thoroby do jus tice to the pooplo of Georgia. We have nothing to say as t-< the man ner of passing the lease Aot. We know nothing of it. We simply ask the Leg islature that if they resume possession of this great public property, that they ac oept onr proposals as having been fairly, honestly and legally made, and greatly to the advantage of the Btate. And if not, wo ask that the courts may be opened to us, that wo have leave to make the Governora party to the suit, that he may execute tbe decree of the court in our favor. Without this, we cannot go into the oourts, by which we shall lose our just and legal rights, and tho State will lose over four millions of dollars. We herewith append a copy of our bid for the Road, which contains the names of the company (except that of Foster Blodgett, who wss expelled by unani mous vote of tho company,) aud the amount each was worth over and above their debts—which is marked Exhibit A. We also append a copy of tbo lotter of Gov. Bullock to M. (i Dobbins, as well as M. G. Dobbins' answer, and also the answer of the company to Gov. Bullock's letter, which is marked Exhibit B.; to all of which your memorialists invite your special attention. And your memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray, Ac.
