GENTLEMEN: I was sick and unable to make this statement last week as I intended, and I have not now been able to do more then give the balances of the several accounts which enter into the cost of the road. There are many things which ordinarily enter into the cost of a railroad which do not appear here. For instance no salaries were paid to any officer during the work excepting $2,500 per annum to the superintendent, and $300 to the secretary. Engineers were employed by the month and discharged when their work was done. The president and directors, when engaged in the business, were refunded money actually expended by them only. Yours respectfully. GEORGE GARY. 1 Some unsettled items will add $1,000 or more. Depot grounds at Oshkosh only. All included in one account. 4 Ballasting and various other items in construction account included. At Oshkosh only. No salaries were paid except to superintendent and secretary. The figures given on the actual cost from the secretary's books. The road was leased before completion to the Milwaukee and St. Paul Company, and the above figures include no depot grounds or buildings except at the city of Oshkosh.
