Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Investigating Committee of the Concord Railroad, to the Stockholders: December, 1857 It is equally certain, __that wherever railroads are needed, and for that cause continued, their' proprietors are destined hereafter to be suitably remunerated for their investment. The idea that engines and cars are to continue to run for the accommodation and con venience of the public merely, while their owners are daily, monthly and yearly made poorer from their Operations, is preposterous. The public do not expect or desire it, nor is it for their advantage that it should be so. The interests of the community and of railroad pro prietors are identical. Their rights and duties are reciprocal, and not antagonistic. It is as much the duty and for the interest of the public to pay railroad proprietors fairly and liberally for ensuring the safety and rapidity of personal intercommunication and an inter change of useful productions, as it is the duty and for the interest of railroad proprietors to ensure both in the best and most economical method. Stockholders in railroads are themselves a part, and no in considerable part of the community, and it needs no argument to prove that no community can ever be permanently enriched by the wrongful impoverishment of any portion of its members.
