| It appearing from a communication from
Bollman & Co (with whom the Central R Road has a contract for
building an iron bridge) that they will not be able to comply with
said contract. Resolved therefore that the said contract be declared
void & that the President and Chief Engnr are authorised to have
such a bridge built as they may deem most advisable. |
| A petition from the citizens of
Charlottesville asking an improvement of the Road from the Depot to
the town also for additional lumber room at the Depot being laid
before the Board. Resolved that this Company cannot undertake to
improve Roads to their Depots and that the accommodations for lumber
at the Charlottesville Depot is equal to that at any other Depot.
Resolved further that the Supt report what improvement by
Macadamising or paving may be necessary about our passenger depot at
Charlottesville. |
