D. M. GREENE, Esq., Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor: DEAR SIR.-There have been no changes in the New York State Railway since your last report. Owing to the absence of the president and treasurer, no formal report can be made. I have the honor to be Yours respectfully, COLIN D. ANDERSON, Chief Engineer and Superintendent. (No. 105.) NEW YORK, UTICA AND OGDENSBURGH. NEW YORK, January 4, 1876. D. M. GREENE, Esq., Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor: SIR. Yours of date December 18, 1875, calling on me, as the receiver of the New York, Utica and Ogdensburgh Railroad Company, to make the annual report, as required by law, is received. In reply I will say I was not aware that such was my duty, and, further, that it is impossible for me to do so. The books and papers of the corporation are in the hands of a special receiver, who held them at the time of my appointment, under an order of the court in a suit against its then president. My action has been restrained most of the time by injunctions, and I am now taking steps to get the books, and hope to succeed in doing so shortly. I am informed that no part of the road has been built and nothing done except to make surveys. The capital stock was $12,000,000, and less than $80,000 paid in, which has been absorbed prior to my appointment. The length of the road to be built is about 100 miles. My duty seems to be to collect from the stockholders sufficient money to pay the debts. If I can make any further report I will do so, and would be happy to avail myself of any suggestions that you may favor me with in respect Yours truly, thereto. W. H. NEWMAN, Receiver. (No. 106.) NEW YORK, WESTCHESTER AND BOSTON. NEW YORK, December 4, 1875. D. M. GREENE, Esq., Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor: SIR.-I reply to your communication calling for the annual report of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroad Company. I have to report, that during the past year no work has been done upon the road, and that the condition of the company is not materially changed from last year's report. Yours respectfully, JOHN VAN NEST, (No. 107.) NEW YORK WESTERN MIDLAND. SKANEATELES, January 10, 1876. D. M. GREENE, Esq., Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor: DEAR SIR.-A circular addressed to C. Bean, President New York Western Midland Railroad, was placed in my hands to-day by Mr. Bean's brother. In July last I was appointed receiver of said railroad, and its affairs are being liquidated. No part of the road has been built, nor has there been any labor done beyond a partial survey. If there is any report necessary for me to make, please inform me. I have not yet been able to collect sufficient to pay the claims against the company. Respectfully yours, J. C. DE WITT, Receiver of the New York Western Midland Railroad Company. (No. 108.D NEW YORK, WEST SHORE AND CHICAGO. 7 NASSAU STREET, NEW YORK, December 3, 1875. D. M. GREENE, Esq., Deputy State Engineer and Surveyor : } DEAR SIR.-In reply to your communication calling for the annual report of the New York, West Shore and Chicago Railroad Company, we have to say that no progress has been made in the construction of the road since our last report.
