 TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF TEIE MIDLAND RAIL- 
 WAY OF CANADA:— 
 
 Id subniittiog their Report for the year eDding 31st December, 
 1874, with the customary accouDts attached thereto, the Directors 
 have the honor to state that the expectations regarding the 
 
 REVENUE RECEIPTS 
 
 for the year have not been realized, and exhibit a decrease as against 
 the previous year, the total receipts in 1874 having been $303,602.56 
 (£62,384 Is. 9d. sterling), as again.st #318,159.88, or £65,375 
 sterling, showing a decrease of 014,557.32 (£2,991 4s. 8d, sterling) in 
 1874. The continued depression of trade in the United States which 
 affected principally the main staple from which the revenue of this 
 Railway is derived — lumber — has been felt even more severely 
 this past year than it was the year previous, and whilst the Report 
 of the General Freight Agent shews an additional decrease in lumber 
 alone to the extent of 10,000,000 feet as carried over the Railway for 
 1874 in comparison with last year, the total diminution as compared 
 with 1872 fiom this the principal source of revenue of the Midland 
 Railway, reacheyi thi; unpn cedented figures of 36,000,000 feet. A 
 proportionate decrease has likewise taken place in the haulage of ties. 
 
f 
 
 posts, and 8<|uarc timber — staples thnt were cquuily uffbotod with 
 lumber in the general depresyiou appcrtuiuing to that trade. Whilst 
 the Directors niuht regret that tlie expectations they entertained ol" 
 seeing the lumber trade revive wore not realized, some sutistuotion 
 may bo derived in the general earnings of the road as regards the 
 Passenger and General Go4>ds traffic, which have shown no diminution, 
 but on the contrary exhibit a very handsome increase in every item, 
 especially grain, the latter demonstrating the gratifying fact of an 
 increased acreage under cultivation along the districts tributary to 
 this Railway. 
 
 EXPENDITUUES. 
 
 The working expenditures of the line have been ^177,751.87 
 (£3«,524 7s. 2d. sterling) against «180,175.90 (£37,022 Ss. lid. 
 sterling), in comparison with last year, tihewing u rate eijual to 58.55 
 per cent, on gross receipts as against 57 05 per cent, the previous 
 year. The length uf the road operated in full for the Urst time this 
 year has increased the 'J'raffic, Train, and Water Service Department, 
 and in these two items more particularly, an increase in expenditure 
 had to be incurred ; whilst in the expenses for fuel, oil and waste, 
 owing to the superior new locomotives employed, and their greater 
 carrying power, a large saving was eifected. A very gre.it decrease 
 in the expenses is likewise apparent from the Detailed Statement of 
 Kepairs to Rolling Stock, which, having been put in most thorough 
 order conseijuent upou the change of gauge, has obviated the usual 
 outlay. • 
 
 In the General Management the officers have been particular to 
 effect what saving could be done. In the item of Insurance a large 
 increase became necessary, but their principal attention was more 
 especially directed to the improvement and maintenance of the road- 
 way, in which it became incumbent to increase the outlay to a 
 considerable extent. These causes have diminished the net rate of 
 revenue, and the Directors here feel that they can hold out no hopes 
 
of reducing the expenditure, uh fur an the luuintenanoe of the roadwny 
 18 uoncorncd, until a conHiderablo number of new rails uro laid, and 
 the road in more heavily balluHted. 
 
 ttKVENUE ACCOUNT. 
 
 The uutiuiHhod uxtuuHiou has obliged the Directors to make a 
 similar char<?e of interest on £40,000 sterling of 1 st Mortgage Bonds, 
 the proceeds of which were entirely devoted to the extension as has been 
 stated in the Report of lust year, and this item in itself is u very 
 strong inducement for every effort to be made to complete the line 
 to Waubaushene, and thus afford some ivfurn for iM^ outlay on 
 Capital Account. 
 
 ROLLIiNG STOCK. 
 
 The Koiiij;^ Stock of the Company hu.3 under^iji:i< an entire 
 alt .^tion, necessitated by the chunge of gauge. A re-v«li)ation of all 
 the plant of the Company wus made in September, since .v hich there 
 has been no alterution, and the Directors re-t.ttuch u copy of their 
 Report us previously published, shewing u detnil of the outlay, and 
 of the actual value of the C^mpuny's Rolling Stock. The Railway 
 became under contract this Spring, for the delivery to them (>f uu 
 additional one hundred plutfonu curs, the completion of which is 
 deferred to the coming yeur, and with it the conse(|uent outluy beyond 
 the material already purchused towurd their construction. The 
 uddition of these curs to the rolling stock is necessary when the line 
 is extended, as the Directors trust it will be the coming spring, to 
 Waubaushene. A contract was made with the Portland Company 
 for seven (7) new locomotives, the payment for which was ugreed 
 upon such terms us would meet the tiuuncial position of the Company. 
 
 Of the old locomotives, ten (10) have been altered to suit the new 
 gauge, and have had such thorough repairs and improvements added 
 to them as largely to enhance their value ; all of which is set iorth in 
 detail in the statement annexed.

 SPE'.\AL WORKS. 
 
 The economy imposed upon the Management by the diminished 
 traffic, necessitated a curtaihneut in expenditure of such special works 
 which otherwise it might have been very desirable to undertake. 
 Among these latter the replacing of the wooden bridge across 
 Campbell's Creek by a stone culvert and permanent embankment, 
 which would have entailed an outlay of nearly ^30,000, had to be 
 deferred, and in lieu thereof a new wooden bridge will take the place 
 of the present structure. The completion of the Round-house and 
 Tank-house, and other minor necessary works, are referred to in detail 
 in the Report of the Chief Engineer. The expenditures for all 
 these have been restricted to the smallest amount which it was possible 
 to do. 
 
 In regard to such additional ballasting as part of the line requires, 
 the same causes have obliged the Management to exercise economy, 
 but it is hoped that the revival oi trade, and the consequent increase 
 of the means of the Company, will enable the necessary work to be 
 done to a greater extent in the coming year than hitherto. 
 
 EXTENSION TO WAUBAUSHENE AND MIDLAND. 
 
 The hopes euiertained of tinishiug this important link of the 
 Railway during the past year, and thus creating into a source of 
 revenue an outlay of unproductive capital account, thiit has exceeded 
 ^800,000, have not yet been realized. The arrangements, however, 
 that have been made with the bondholders, to wliich reference is made 
 later in the Report, allow the expectation to be formed that this 
 essential tributary to the line will see its completion in the coming 
 summer. A further eftort will be necessary to finish the work 
 between Waubaushene and Midland, to avoid the expenditure in the 
 construction of piers at Waubaushene for receiving lumber from the 
 adjoining mills in the Bay, to which the Railway will lead direct 
 when extended to Midland, and a repetition of a heavy outlay for 
 
 I 
 
temporary use, similar to the one at Beaverton, to which allusion is 
 made in the Chief Engineer's lleport, would thereby be avoided. 
 
 (iOVERNMENT AID FOR EXTENSION. 
 
 During the last session of Parliament the Ontario Government 
 have subsidized this Company to the extent of $2,250 per mile for 
 the extension from Orillia. The Directors feel a disappointment in 
 the smallness of this amount, and moie especially us a railway passing 
 through a similar country, and starting from the same point — Orillia 
 — viz : the Northern, has and is receiving, a subsidy of S-t,OUO and 
 they entertain the hope that such due and just representations which 
 they purpose to make to the Government, will induce a more 
 equitable allowance for works which this Company is prosecuting, and 
 which are of no less importance that those of the railway mentioned. 
 
 ClIANlJE OF GAUGE. 
 
 The change of gauge of this Eailway from 5 ft. 6 in. to 4 ft. 8^ 
 in. — the standard now being generally adopted in this country — was 
 successfully accomplished in the month of June last. The expecta- 
 tions that have been entertained in having our system harmonized 
 with that of the Grand Trunk, have been to a great extent, realized, 
 and the beuetiisfrom it will be still more apparent when the line is com- 
 pleted to its terminus on Georgian Bay, and the Company may fairly 
 venture upon seeking a through traffic from the west through the 
 northern lakes in connection with the Grand Trunk. The detailed 
 statements issued by the Directors in September are hereby added to 
 the Keport, shewing all items of cost and expenditure conected with 
 the alteration of the gauge, the cost of which has fallen below the 
 estimates originally made. 
 
 Whilst the Directors, as shadowed forth in their Keport of last 
 year, expected to meet the outlay on capital account expended on the 
 extension and change of gauge, by the sale of the remaining Second 
 Mortgage Bonds, they regret to state that in this they were dissap- 
 
10 
 
 pointed. Under these circumstances the President was called to 
 England late in the Fall to make such financial arrangements as became 
 necessary in view of the interest maturing on the bonds of the Com- 
 pany, and to find the means of completing the system of this llailway. 
 It having been found impossible to place any new loan on the market 
 owing to the incompletion of the line and the general distrust to 
 railway debentures in England, an agreement was arrived at with 
 the Bondholders by which they deferred the payment of interest for 
 three and four years, respectively. The details of this arrangement 
 are about being curried out, and the Directors feel confident that with 
 the facilities afforded them, they will be enabled to complete the line 
 to Waubausheue the coming summer, and make such further provision 
 towards the iiual works to Midland as may enable them to reach that 
 point early the following spring. 
 
 In conclusion, the Directors beg to state that they have had much 
 pleasure ia the visit make by F. Murton, Esq., M. I. C. E.,who was 
 sent out by the Bondholders to make thorough examination of the 
 Railway, and whose very able and exhau.stive Report was duly pub- 
 lished ; and they believe that the knowledge obtained through Mr. 
 Murton, and the visit of the President to Europe, in connection with 
 the arrangements entered into, will greatly conduce to a better 
 appreciation of the position of this Railway, its future prospects, and 
 the value of its securities. 
 
 All of which is respectfully submitted.

 Auditor's Report. 
 
 A. HuGEL, Esq., President Midland Kailway of Canada : 
 
 Sir, — In certifying the correctness of the accounts of this Com- 
 pany for the current year ending with the 31st December, 1874, I 
 have much pleasure to state that the accounts of the Company have 
 been kept with great accuracy, and that under the system introduced 
 by you, and to which allusion is made in my report of last year, 
 the strictest accountability is kept over every department by a monthly 
 statement which all have to render, and this has been the means of 
 establishing the accounts of the Company in the most correct and 
 accurate manner. 
 
 I am. Sir, your obedient servant,

 Chief Engineer's Office, \ 
 
 Midland Railway of Canada, v 
 
 Port Hope, December 31st, 1874. \ 
 
 A. HuGEL, Esq., President: 
 
 Sir, — I herewith submit for your information my report of the 
 works of construction and repairs on the Midland Railway for the 
 past year. , 
 
 Owing to the depressed state of the trade of the country generally 
 ^nd to the injurious effect that depression had upon the traffic of 
 your road, it was found necessary to curtail during the past year all 
 works of construction and repairs to the greatest possible extent, 
 consistent with the efficient operating of the road, and in effecting 
 this reduction, I am pleased to say that I have been most ably 
 assisted by all the men under me. 
 
 The want of now iron for repairs of the track, and the consequent 
 difficulties the trackmen had to contend with in keeping the road in 
 repairs was severely felt, and old mils, from sidings not generally 
 used, had to be taken for repairs. The cutting and fitting of these 
 old rails, and the consequent additional number of ties required for 
 these repairs had the effect of raising the track expenses over the 
 prev.ous years. The total amount charged to track expenses last 
 year was $47,247, and this year $55,784, or an increase of $8,537. 
 
 But the effects of this additional expense was clearly seen in the 
 improved condition of the road at the close of the season, notwith- 
 
standing the difficulties we had to contend with in the using of 
 inferior quality of materials ; and after the opening of the Spring this 
 year there was no case of any of the trains leaving the track by reason 
 of any defects in it. 
 
 As regards the special works on the line I am happy to say that 
 there has been a very great saving in that account over former years. 
 There were upwards of 4000 yards of ballasting put on the road, 
 and the filling of the valley of the Indian Creek completed. The 
 necessity of the latter work was referred to in my former reports, and 
 it is satisfactory to know that one great source of danger to the traffic 
 of the road has been removed, and a solid embankment now takes the 
 place of a bridge that was no longer fit for the trains to pass over. 
 
 Campbell's Bridge still remains in an unsatisfactory state, but by 
 carefully examining it the past Summer, it luis been kept sufficiently 
 secure for the purposes of the traffic, but another year cannot be 
 allowed to pass without its being replaced by something more sub- 
 stantial than the present decayed timbers. I have therefore, under 
 your directions, given orders for the necessary timbers for new bents 
 over the stream, and the spaces on either side of the stream to be 
 filled by solid embankment as soon as the frost leaves the ground in 
 Spring, when I trust this other source of danger will be removed. 
 
 Among the items in the Special Works account the largest is that of 
 the new Engine House at Port Hopa. The work on this consisted of 
 building the engine pits, brick culverts leading from the engine pits 
 into the main culvert and that leading into the harbor, six pits were 
 completed in a very substantial manner of solid masonery, the walls 
 in some cases extending to a depth of 20 feet, and founded on the 
 solid rock below. From the nature of the ground no saving could be 
 effected here, the soil being of a porous alluvium not ever capable of 
 preventing the water of the harbor percolating through it. This 
 added very mucli t« the expenses of the work from the constant 
 
 I 
 
F 
 
 
 14 
 
 pumping necessary to keep the foundations dry while laying the 
 masonry, but now that it is completed we may reasonably expect that 
 it will last for ages. 
 
 The filling with earth of the spaces between the pits, the flooring 
 and laying of the tracks from the Turn-table will be a moderate ex- 
 penditure necessary in the spring when these six stalls will be ready 
 to receive their engines. 
 
 The Tank House attached to the Engine House has been far advanced 
 towards completion during the present year. The boiler of a locomo- 
 tive formerly in use, has been put in and refitted for the purpose of 
 pumping and heating by steam. 
 
 Four new tanks have been built capable of containing upwards of 
 30,000 gallons of water. The water is taken from the harbor by 
 suction pipes after passing through a filter, and then forced into the 
 tanks, from which it can be taken either to supply the engines outside 
 the building or to be conducted round the interior of the entire build- 
 ing for washing the engines and other purposes. The pumps can also 
 be used for fire purposes with great efi'ect in case of accident from 
 that cause, and when the water system is completed it ought to 
 reduce the insurance risks very materially on all buildings within 
 reach. 
 
 A new Turn-table has been built which it is intended to erect at 
 Millbrook the coming summer, where the want of it has been felt in 
 management of the traffic at that place. 
 
 The increasing trade at the village of Franklin called for some 
 accommodation for passengers and goods, and in consequence a small 
 Station building has been erected at a cost of $262.42. 
 
 Owing to the inconvenient distance of the station at Omemee from 
 the village the inhabitants thereof petitioned the Company to remove 
 the old, or build a new one, to or at a point on the block nearest to 
 the business part of the village, and offers in the event of the Company 
 
15 
 
 • 
 
 bnildinp; a new station there, to contribute the sum of ^2,000 to that 
 purpose. Their proposition was accepted and a new buildins; was 
 commenced in the Autumn. But the negotiations were completed too 
 late in the season to do more than get the walls built and roof put on 
 before the winter set in. The ground, however, was filled up and the 
 grading completed, rendy for the track of the siding. The sum of 
 ^1,645.29 has been expendcdjnn this work, and the amount Si2,000 
 voted by the Council of Omemee will be suflScient to complete it, so 
 that although this item appears on the Special Works account it is 
 provided for by the bonus of the Municipality. 
 
 The wharf at Lindsay was extended to encourage and relieve the 
 shipping at that point, which was rendered all the more necessary as 
 at that place the Whitby and Port Perry Railway and navigation 
 comes into direct competition with the Midland Railway. 
 
 At Orillia the wharf purchased from (/apt. May had to be repaired 
 to accommodate the shipping of Lake Simcoe and Couchiching, and 
 a sideway at the latter Lake was necessary for loading timber from the 
 water to the trains. . , 
 
 After the extension of the road beyond Beaverton the shipping from 
 Lake Simcoe at that point was transferred to Orillia and other points 
 so that it became no longer necessary to sustain the Company's dock 
 there, and from its exposed position and the damage it was receiving 
 from the action of the water, it was thought advisable to remove a 
 part of the top timbers. The materials therefrom were all used in 
 portions of the road for the repairs of bridges, cattle-guards, &c., so 
 that these materials that would have been otherwise lost, became 
 serviceable in other respects. 
 
 New board fencing was constructed during this year to the extent 
 of 080^ rods. This should be continued each year until the road is 
 completely protected from cattle straying on the track, the cause of 
 many disasters and damages to the traffic.

 The other items of the Special Works account are small and suffici- 
 ently explained in the statement thereof annexed, the total amounting 
 to the sum of 820.033.06 afrainst $67,660.41, the expenditure last 
 year. 
 
 CHANGE OF GAUGE. 
 
 Early in the season the change of gauge was determined on and 
 preparations made for that purpose, so that early in June everything 
 necessary for the operation was completed and the days fixed for 
 Saturday the 13th and Monday the 15th. The whole was carried 
 successfully on those days without accident, and the trains delayed 
 only a few hours. 
 
 The total cost of changing the gauge, including altering bridges, 
 culverts, cattle-guards, switches, tools and other things connected 
 with the track in my own Department amounted to the sum of $12, 
 608.14. 
 
 GEORGIAN BAY EXTENSION. 
 
 During the winter and spring of the present year, the different 
 contractors at Work on the line between Orillia and Waubaushene 
 continued their labors, but the expectations expressed in my last 
 year's report of getting the road through to Waubaushene during the 
 Summer have not been realized, owing entirely to the financial 
 position of the Company, which was not in a condition to meet the 
 balance of the outlay and purchase the rails for the purpose of 
 finishing the line. The work had therefore to be discontinued. 
 
 The disappointment this has occasioned to the lumber interests 
 along the Georgian Bay to reach this outlet for their productions 
 which is so desirable, was very great, and I beg to urge that in view 
 of the large outlay of capital aready made every effort should be 
 brought forward to reach, if not the terminus of the line at Midland, 
 at least the waters of the Georgian Bay at Waubaushene.

 The necessary outlay, independent of the requirement of rails to 
 finish the road between Orillia and Waubaushenc, is not very large, 
 and my statement furnished to F. Murtcn, Esq., the Engineer who 
 came to examine the line will form a basis of the expense to be 
 incurred. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 GEO. A. STEWART, 
 
 Chief Engineer.

 (jeneral Passenger & Freight Agent's 
 
 To Adolph Hugel, Esq., President Midland Railway: 
 
 Sir, — I beg to submit herewith a Classified Statement of Earningn 
 for the year 1874. The continued and severe depression in all kinds 
 of business in the United States, and which greatly reduced the 
 demand for lumber, has again unfavorably affected the receipts of the 
 road. (See appendix A.) 
 
 We have in consequence, to report a decrease in haulage of lumber 
 of ten millions, and 574 cars of ties and posts. 
 
 Prices in the Quebec Timber Market ruling low, but little was cut 
 in this section. We have therefore to report a decrease in timber 
 hauled of 245,189 cubic feet. 
 
 Consequent upon an abundant harvest and the increased area of 
 cultivated land, we are happy to be able to report an increase of 
 sixty-eight per cent in the quantity of grain carried, viz : wheat, 
 increase, 245,189 bushels; coarse grain, ditto, 114,967 bushels. 
 
 In all other descriptions of freight you will observe there is a 
 gratifying increase. . 
 
 The Passenger business retains its buoyancy, and exhibits an 
 increase of six per cent, over the very large increase of the previous 
 year. 
 
 Our faith in the Traffic resources of the road cannot but be 
 strengthened, when upon comparing the business of 1872 with that 
 
19 
 
 of 1874, although we find a decrease in Lumber of 24 millions, or 33 
 per cent, and in Timber 513,000 cubic feet, or 62 per cent., yet 
 notwithstanding this enormous decline tiie receipts of the latter year 
 are only «730.66 less than of the former. 
 
 The population and general business of the country tributary to 
 our road are rapidly and permanently increasing. We are also 
 encouraged by the indications of renewal of activity in the lumber 
 trade. 
 
 Business in the Unitpd States is gradually resuming its wonted 
 vigor, and with the resumption of business will certainly cause the 
 demand for Canadian lumber. 
 
 Along the route of- our road since 1872 new saw mills have been 
 erected, old ones enlarged and improved, so that when activity is 
 restored we may confidently expect greatly to exceed any former year 
 in the amount of receipts from this source. 
 
 The neceesity of a large Elevator upon the dock at Port Hope is 
 becoming every day more evident. If we had sufficient grain storage 
 room in Port Hope we could be able during the winter when other 
 business fails us, to empty all the farmer's bins and the Company's 
 warehouses along the road, and thus have our Rolling Stock free for 
 the Spring's business. . , ■ 
 
 Grain buyers are now demanding for banking purposes warehouse 
 receipts for grain stored in our warehouses along the line. We 
 disapprove granting such at Way stations, but had we good and 
 sufficient elevator storage room we could then grade the grain, charge 
 storage, and give receipts.

 Appendix D. 
 
 Office op the Manaoer, \ 
 
 Midland Railway of Canada. ' 
 
 Port Hope, Ist September, 1874. ) 
 
 Gentlemen, — I have the honor to submit to you herewith detailed 
 statements of all expenses connected with the Change of Gauge of the 
 line from 5ft. Gin. to 4ft. 8Jin., which has been successfully accomplished 
 on the 13th of June. The alteration of all Rolling Stock of the Railway 
 having since been completed, I am enabled to present this report to you, 
 showir.^ all expenses connected with the alteration of the Track, Cars, and 
 re-estimate of the Company's Rolling Stock, which comprises the Loss on 
 Locomotives rendered useless, and a r(>duction in the value of the Cars 
 acquired during the last two years. 
 
 The expense of altering the Coaches, Cars, includes not alone the ....re 
 alteration and substitution of trucks for the new gauge, but each Car 
 received a general overhauling; and every part, in the slightest degi'ee 
 defective, was removed and new material substituted, thus making all Carg 
 very nearly as good as new. 
 
 In accordance with the system of this Railway, I have had all Cars 
 reduced in value, the items in detail appearing in the within statement, 
 and a similar account is hereby attached regarding the Loss on the Loco- 
 motives rendered useless, from which has been deducted the Credit to 
 the Depreciation account — a proceeding that the re-valuation rendered 
 necessary. 
 
 It- affords me great pleasure to state that whilst the entire work has 
 been successfully accomplished, and has greatly enhanced the efficiency of 
 the road, the cost of accomplishing it has fallen below the estimates I had 
 the honor to submit regarding the same. 
 
 Your obed't servant, 
 
 A. HUGEL, President.
