the same gauge as that of the Richmond and Danville, and to connect these two roads through the lower part of the city. A corresponding change of gauge in the Piedmont road is deemed of vital importance. The Auditor's report is a tabular statement of the financial condition of the road. The report of the Superintendent, Mr. Thomas Dodamead, shows that great energy and skill have been devoted to the repair of the road since it was turned over to the Company by the United States authorities. It was then in a very bad condition. Repairs are still being pushed forward with great speed. Contracts have been made to rebuild the Appomattox, Staunton, Little Roanoke, and James River bridges. The report shows the improvements made, and those proposed, in buildings, stations, workshops. &c. Mr. Dodamead, in conclusion, acknowledges the zeal and fidelity of Messrs. W. M. S. Dunn, master of road; John McFarland, master of machinery, and J. L. Morrow, assistant superintendent.
