To the Board of Commissioners W. &■ A. K. R-
Gentiemen—I have the honor to submit a report « f opera
tions oil the Western and Atlautic Rail Road during the 3rd
quarter of 1340. Th-* accompanying documents will explain
in detail the nature ami cost of the work executed.
From the quaiterly return herewith submitted it appears
that the work done since the 1st of July, consists of 399 30*>
cub. yds. of excavation and embankment, 3012 perches of
masonry in bridges and culverts, 309,975 feet bd. ineas. of
Bridge timber delivered, 13 trestle piers framed and 5 erected,
672 feet or bridging erected, besides 511 feet of supers,tnc-
turc of bridges trained and prepared for raising. ^1 he amount
paid for which, according to contracts is $71,.>97.42. Iu ad
dition to this expenditure, there appears on the return, as
payable on account of repairing finished sections $4,343,83.
’■'>•001 the abstract of final estimates it appears that, the
grading of six sections, and the masonry of two bridges, viz:
(E wah >nd Arms.) have been finished during-the quartet.
The iitrnuiiit of reserved balances paid ou their completion
has been $13,834 'HI.
The lota, amount 1 xpended up to this data from the cent
tnencement of operations, including surveys, location, con
struction, repairs, the Engineer service ami various contin-
gencies is $ 1,793,470.50. .... .
The amount that will probably bo •’eqHired to complete
tie grading, masonry, and bridging of the roaJ, according to
■existingcontiacts, is as follows:
For the 1st, 2nd and 3d Division, $37,040 00
For the 4th Division, 42,032 00
For the 5th Div. not including the Tunnel, 196,204 00
For the Tunnel through Little lllue Ridge, 64.303 00
For contingencies on the same, 10,000 00
For the Tennessee Division, 170.400 00

mentioned purposes, $500,073 00
Many circumstances have contributed to restrain vigorous
operation during the Iasi quarter—among these is the terri
ble sickness which has pervaded the region adjoining the
Tennessee line, embracing the principal part of our work in
removal a material otheiwise so very favorable. In a dryer
season it is not improbable that the water here spoken of sriKrpinrp
would disappear altogether. This approach (the western) is ^ J 1 ‘ 1
now excavated to a level with the roof of the 1 unnel. and it j
requireshut little more work to prepare forthe commencement
of the heading.
In the Eastern approach, the material excavated continues
to lie very hard—it is however favorable for the operation ol
tunnelling.
Three sections of this Division, viz. the 9th, Ilth, and I3lh,
will probably he completed within the ensuing month.
1 would again urge upon your coiisiteraiion the import
ance of providing for the execution ot the culvert masonry
yet undisposed of. The prices now allowed are not suffi
cient to induce responsible contractors to undertake it. It is
plain that one uniform price (as at present established) wilt
not meet the object.—Hhat may afford a fair remuneration
in one locality, may he entirely inadequate in others.
While upon the subject of masonry, it may not be improp
er to remark that, the above observations as to the inade
quacy of the prices which have beeu fixed as the standard on
tltis part of the road, are applicable also to the Bridge ma
sonry, hut with much greater weight.—Abutments (which
are to sustain the pressure of an immense body of earth) and i
piers subject to severe shocks from flood-wood in times ot
freshet* Jmuid t»« built in the most substantial and perma
nent manner.—To effect this desirable object, sufficient in
diicements should be held out to rcs|*»iisit)le men, who will
execute the work faithfully, and in accordance with their
contracts.
.1 large amount of masonry yet remaius to he executed on
this division—That it w ill be greatly to the interest of the
State to increase the rales of prices fixed for ibis kind of work,
and in proportion to the facilities for procuring s'one, lime,
sand, 6cc., I am firmly convinced.'’
Since the date of Air. Campbell’s report, the excavation
of the Western approach to the Tunnel through Little Blue
ridge has discovered at a distance ot 200lt. from the entrance
to the tunnel a stiatum of blue limestone 10 feet above the
grade line, lying with such a dip as will pass above the roof
of the tunnel near its entrance, Present appearances in the
excavation of the approaches lead us t* anticipate, that the
tunnel will pass almost entirely through rock. The contrac
tor is preparing to lay a temporary track for the removal of
the earth from the eastern approach, to fotm the adjoining
embankment. Iron rails, car wheels, spikes &c. for this
purpose w ith w hich the State is bound by contract to supply

ish in i» great degree the cost of keeping up the road alter
tbe superstructure shall be laid. Indeed a superstructure of
Kyantzed timber laid upon banks consolidated by the set
tling «S years, and carefully repaired by ramming into the
breeches chviiee material, w ill be so firm and durable, that
the cost of repairs, usually a heavy item of expeuse on a new
.vfoad, wHI be quite inconsideraWe.
To furnish you with details of information respecting the
•operations during the last quarter, I extract from the reports
•of the Resident Engineers. Mr. Stockton in charge of the
1st, 2d, and part of the 3d Division reports as follows.
‘■Since the date of my last quarterly report, Sections Xo.
thirteen and fourteen, of the 2nd Division, and Section Xo. 7
of the Third Division have been completed and accepted,—
the masonry of the Kiowah and Arms Viaducts has also been
completed and accepted, and final estimates on each retidet-
ed. The masonry of the Viuing Viaduct is progressing rap
idly, and gives every indication of being well and substan
tially executed. The foundation of the Eastern abutment of
tbe Noonday Viaduct has been excavated and iu a few days
the contractor f*w laying the masonry will commence opera
tions. when the work w ill be prosecuted with all teas '-"able
dispatch. During the past month, « smnll rulvcrt hn« been
introduced on the llth section of the Second Divivion. in or
der to draw off the large quantity of surface water which col
lects in the vicinity of that section, after all heavy rains.
The masonry and other work connected with the cons ruc
tion of this culvert was done by the repairing party on that
part of the Bad Bond, and charged to repairs. The tarring
o.nd sanding of the flooring of the Chattahoochee viaduct has
been seriously delayed during the past month, owing to the
unfavorable weather which has prevailed.—About two thirds
of the flooring remaius iu an unfinished state, hut a large force
is now actively engaged in its completion. An attempt was
; of the above, prior to coverin
work in our country is not so refined as to demand much of
the ornamental in our structures.—We may
this object, and coutine ourselves to considerations ot dura
bility. This end cauuot be attained w ithout employing good
materials, and securing the services of good workmen. Ido
uot hesitate to say that tho standard of prices now fixed for
Bridge masoury is too low to encourage competent tin 11 t<>
undertake, aud execute faithfully, contracts ot this kind, iu
these matters, excess of liberality is less dangerous than un
wise economy.
Before making a decision to adopt the Ivyanizing process
with the timber for our superstructure, it would be advisable
to investigate the claims of Dr. Earle’s system of preserving
wood. The short time that has elapsed since his discovery
of tlie process has not afforded a fair experience concern
ing it. Experiments are now in progress, uuder direction of
the General Government for testing its efficacy, by exposing
timber thus prepared, to artificial causes of decay. The
cheapness of the materials used, the sulphates of iron and
copper (the common green and blue vitriol of commerce.)
leans us to anticipate that it will be a cheaper inode of pre
serving wood than Mr. Kyau’s process, iu which corrosive
sublimate, a costly article is employed. It certainly would
tie Jiuwlse ill Us 1® «-«•■* ouraoU'oo of ssiontiflo diocovo
t ies, applicable !(> our purposes, and we are admonished In
experience of the great cost of renewals and tepairs of wood
en superstructures, to adopt some means of diminishing this
expeuse. I would recommend the adoption of some process
for preserving tbe timber used in our bridges, as well as in
the superstructure of ottr road.
As the time for making some decision respecting our future
plans of operation, apptoaches.it is proper to bring to your
consideration tho necessity of early action with regard to our
superstructure. We shall require about 11,600,000 feet
board measure of timber, for a single track. The facilities
