Commonwealth of Massachusetts. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, February 5, 1848. The Committee on Railways and Canals, to which have been referred the Annual Reports of the Railroad Corporations, report: That returns have been made by thirty-five corporations. A part of these returns are not in strict compliance with the statute 1846, ch. 251, and do not furnish the information required. Appended to this report is a list of deaths and injuries upon the several roads, so far as the returns exhibit the same. The report of commissioners of the sinking fund of the Western Railroad has been examined and believed to be correct. The committee recommend the printing of two thousand copies of these papers. |
