Description:Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Railroad Commissioner of the State of Colorado: For the Year Ending June 30, 1885 In looking over the whole ground, and giving railroad companies due credit for their part in the work of develop ment of the resources of the State and building up its present financial and commercial standing, one cannot help but admit that they have been worth, and are to-day worth, all of the sacrifice made in building them. They are to-day worth to the State as much as they are represented to have cost in construction. Though most of them were poorly constructed, most of them are at the present time being credi'tably reconstructed. The only question for solution is, what proportionate sum of reported cost shall constitute a basis for computation Of transportation rates. Most of the companies have returned their entire stock and bonds as being issued for construction. The Colorado Central, the Denver, Utah and Pacific and the Denver and New Orleans are the only roads that have fully reported the cost of road and equipment separately. The Denver Circle reports nothing of its cost, or anything else worth mentioning. The Denver and Boulder Valley reports neither cost or equipment. The Pueblo and Arkansas Valley is leased to, and equipped by, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. The Denver and Middle Park, Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville, the Golden, Boulder and Cari bou and Greeley, Salt Lake and Pacific railroads are equipped by the Union Pacific Railway Company. The following statement, together with table No. V, will show the meager information returned to this Office; and how utterly futile it would be to attempt any computation of the actual cost of construction.
