To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An agreement exists between this company and the "Good Intent" and the "National Road Stage companies" by which those companies were induced to invest their large capital fova. tempora- ry period and maintain legulav lines over the mountains ; one of the provisions of which is, that the fare through between Balti- more and Wheeling, shall be eleven dollars, and between Balti- more and Pittsburg terx dollars, except when navigation is closed in the winter, and then one dollar is to be added in e...ach case. Of this ihrough fare, in tlie settlements of accounts, this com- pany accepts five dollars, as their share for the passage between Baltimore and Cumberland. It will be perceived that this price i.'? not the same as is charged to those who do not take through tickets between this city and the Ohio river. The reasons Ti'hich seem to justify this company in making the sacrifice of two dollars from their regular fare and that without a low rate of fare to and from Pittsburg and Wheeling, the travel would be wholly diverted from this route to other and competing routeS;, and this company would be foiled in their main purpose of I K] 4 connecl'mg Baltimore and the State of Maryland, with the Ohio river, and it appeared on a careful examination, that the difficulties encountered by the Stage companies are so great that without such a sacrifice from this company, tliey could not meet the expenses of their portion of the route.
