sir,
1 bag to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
No. 2 of 2002/07 of the 10th. Kay enclosing a razorinium by Zr. Lind-
ey. I have duly noted the contents of both.
Judging by the various arguments advanced in lr. Lindsey's memordum it appears that the object of our proposals for the equitable division of rutes has not been understood. The object of our proposal for the reduction of rates is to secure bue hearty co-operation of both sections so as to compete with the steators and to attract passengers, tuereby augmenting the profits of coth sections since you do not accept our hypothetic calculation as correct, and since also you are unwilling to reduce the rater ao we have done, wo uave only to charge 14 cents per mile, which is the rate charged for slow trein on our section. Compared with the rate ularged for alus train on your ssotion, musely bro cents per mile, our murge is one- -fourth lese than yours, saen through traffic is effected and when the actual profita cay exunditure aru know, wo way again consider tue question of reduction, saving in view tue respective circumstances of
the bo sections.
is regards appointing a date and place for our meeting it is my opinion that, in view of the fact that the subjecta for discussion concern the junction of the two lines at The chun, the Railway Station, the arrangements for work, rolling stock, traffic and accounts, &c., and that the officers in charge (of these various matuers) canot all leave thoir work, it would be core conv nient and ee it if your manngar (?) and tr, lind ey come up to Canton on any day nort week. If you spree to this, plouas let me know so tat I may make duo preparations for their r coption.
Cblementi boq.
