Mr. Clarke had not the power to restore order and discipline to the management of this property until the termination of the receiverships, January i, 1878. From that date, full control of the working of the line has rested upon him. Knowing him for many years, his experience, his perfect integrity, his thoroughness m every detail of railroad construc- tion and management, I have never interposed my comparatively imperfect knowledge of railway affairs.
"Mr. Clarke has rebuilt this line from its... ashes. At the machine-shops were piles of broken cars; and the remnants of locomotive boilers, which had been exploded for years, were still maintained on the books of the Company as engines. The bridges all required renewing; the ties were rotten and defective.
From this confusion, Mr. Clarke now delivers to you a well-con- structed and equipped railroad. 35 engines and 1200 cars have been built in the shops of the Company; 24^ miles of bridging have been built; 3}^ miles of open trestle-work have been filled up with solid embankments; 1,341,500 new cross-ties have been put in, equal to 2,080 ties per mile on this whole road and side tracks.
