SUNBUItY AMERICAN AND SHAlTOKIN JOURNAL.
EXTRACTS FTOM GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
The operations on the public works for the
Var just closed do not present a very flatter
ing picture, so Tar as relates to net revenue.
The aggregate amount of business was larger
by twenty per cent, than that of any former
year, arid trie gross receipts amounted to the
som ef $i,34,495 33, being an excess of but
$35,683 91 orer the receipts of 1853. This
increase of tonnage without a corresponding
increase of receipts is the oonseqUrnoe of a
very great reduction in the rate of toll", a mea
sure, in the opinion of the Canal Commission
ers, demanded by publio policy; and it may
be said that whatever has been lost to the
treasury was giren to extend commerce and
trade. The expenditures for the year accord
ing to the report of I ho Canal Commissioners,
amounted to the sum of 81,177,742 75, leav
ing a net balance of $754,752 68 ; but as
Shis sum does not include any portion of the
cost of new locomotive engines and the erec
tion oi farm bridges, the deduction of the
proper proportion of these will leave the sum
of $704,752 58 as tho actual net balance.
The receipts and expenditures and gener
al operations of the Columbia railroads exhi
bit an encouraging state of affairs, as ihey
nUo do on the North Branch canal and Dela
ware division ; on the other divisions of the
canal they are tolerable ; but on the Alleghe
ny Portage railroad, the condition of affairs is
entirely unsatisfactory. Tho system of man
agement bertofore practiced on that compli
cated and difficult work, would seem to de
mand a speedy and radical change. Cut the
Executive, under the laws as they now are,
having no contiol or direction over the publio
works, it is right and proper that I should
leave the explanation of the details of their
workings and management to the people's
agents, who have charge tf the whole sub
ject. I am, however, still entirely sanguine that
with the necessary change in the system of
management, the publio improvements can
be made to yield a very handsome revenue
to the treasury ; indeed, even for the lusi
year, had the expenses on the mountain di
vision been confined to a reasonable sum,
(lie nett revenues would have reached near
one million of dollars. Relieved liom these
absorbing demands by the construction of the
new road, or in some other way, and we
shall realize, by the year, a net profit equal
to the interest on twenty-two millions or
more of the public debt.
The work on the rniltoad to avoid the in
clined planes on the Allegheny mountains,
has net progressed as rapidly as had been
anticipated. It is the opinion of the engineer,
however, as will appear on reference to his
report, that should the necessary means be
promptly furnished, the entire line could be
completed during the coming year. The
grading for a double track is finished with
the exception of four miles, and the cost of
this balance, together with the expenses of
laying down a single track, is estimated at
six hundred and five thousand dollars, in ad
dition to the value of the old track. The
engineer ulso estimates the anual saving, as
(compared with the expenditures on the old
road, on a business eqttnl to that of 1852, at
two hundred and ninety thousand dollars.
I Is also slates that the road between plane
No. 4 and Hollidaysburg, with a double traok,
will cost about eight hundred thousand dol
lars less than the Pennsylvania road, for a
like distance.
Viewed in every aspect, it must be con
fessed that this branch of the publio affairs
presents an embarrasing alternative The
prompt completion of the new woik will in
srolve the expenditure of more capital than
the state can command without resorting to
farther temporary loans ; whilst, on the other
hand, maintenance of the old road, at a cost
bf four hundred and fifty thousand dollars
per annum, is quite out of the question. Its
exhausting demands on the treasury must be
Speedily obviated, and for my part I can see
no mode of doing this except by the comple
tion of the new road.
At the time 1 assumed the duties of my
present station, 1 found this work in progress
( construction ; the western slope up to the
summit having been placed under contract
during the summer of 1851. On referring to
i he reports of the Canal Commissioners and
the engineer, . the only data which I could
properly consult as to the policy of the mea
sure, 1 found that the total cost of a single
track was estimated at $1,015,000. The
materials on the old rnad were valued at
$248,650, which together with the appropria
tions previously made,- reduced the amount
in be provided to complete the work to the
rneagre sum of $591,350. With these cal,
culations before me, and even adding a largo
amount for errors in the estimates, and the
enormous expenditures of the old road in full
view, I could not doubt the expediency and
economy of the measure. But the usual ad
vance in the price of labor, material and sub'
sistence,' added to the obvious errors in the es
(mates, has changed the entire aspect of this
enterprise. The sum of $650,000 has been
appropriated Sioce that time, and over six
hundied thousand dollars is still required
With the value of the old road, to bring the
tine into use.
The estimated cost .of completing the
North Branch canal, at the period already
narnea, Was $772,000. One million of dol.
fars has since been paid, and sum exceed
ing one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is
till required to pay for its completion. With
Such unexpected demands upon the treasury
vrilhin the short space of two years, it would
not be unreasonable to expect an increase of
the liabilities of. the State : but it is alike
gratifying and astonishing to know, that this
has not occurred.
The Junction canaf, extending from the
New York line to Elmirr, will be ready for
business during the present month, and the
Stare work from Pitiaton to the dam of
Athens, a distance of ninety-three miles, has
been completed. The enly unfinished part
of the work lies between Athens and the
Slate line, a space of about two and a half
miles, the eonstruction of which was delay,
ed by an effort of the Canal Commiasionsra
and the Governor, under and aol of Assem
bly, to negotiste with the Junction eanal
company ,or completion. But even this sec
tion, 1 am assured, will be ready in ample
-jtm for the spring trade.
These woiks will complete the last link in
a continuous water communication between
the Chesapeake bay and the northern lakes.
The struggle forehis achievement has been
long anJ arduoas, covering nearly a quarter
of a century,
But the triumph is still a brilliant one, and
must because of gratification to the people of
the entire State.
At the date of my last annual message,
proceedings were pending in the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, to test the right
of the Franklin canal company to con
struct a railroad from the city of Erie to
the Ohio Stale line. The decision of the
Cuurt was against the company on the main
point, and the opinion ol Chief Justice Black
shows moat clearly that the construction of
their road was without authority of law, but
the preliminary injunction prayed for by the
complainant was refused, on the ground that
the Commonwealth could not, under the law,
eive security for costs. The effect of this
decision was to place the privileges claimed
by the company within the control of the
Legislature. In anticipation of this result, I
had suggested to the General Assembly the
propriety of taking charge of these valuable
rights, and so fur as might be practicable,
without the exercise of an illiberal piinciple,
render this important lino of communication)
between the sea-board and the great west,
subservient to the interests of the people of
Pennsylvania. The subject was considered,
but not fiuully disposed of.
It is my duty to inform you that $528,351
of the relief issue of May, 1841, are still in ex
istence, and continue to pollute the channels
of circulation, Under the piovisions of the act
of April last $121,812 of these notes of a less
denomination than five dollars, have been can
celled, and the whole amount can, undei this
law, be ultimately extinguished. But the
process has not been so rapid as was antici
pated, nor is it sulTici?nt!y so to meet the de
mands of the publio weal. I respectfully
suggest, therefore, that the law be so nmend
ed as to make it the duty of the State Trea
surer to retain fiom time to time, as near as
piacticable, the amount in relief notes, neces
sary to meet then entire den-rands of the sink
ing fund. 1 also recommend the repeal of the
act of April 10, 1849, authorizing the re-is
sue of this currency.
