New York and Erie Rail Road. Company organ¬
ized in July, 1833. The act authorizing the road was passed
April 24, 1832. The first preliminary survey was made in
1832, by De Witt Clinton, jr., by order of the government.
In 1834 the Governor appointed Benj. Wright to survey the
route; who, assisted by Jas. Seymour and Charles Ellett,
began the survey May 23d, and finished it the same year.
In 1835 the Co. was reorganized, and 40 mi. were put under
contract. In 1836 the Comptroller was directed to issue
$3,000,000 State stock to aid in constructing the road. In
1845 the State released its lien on the road, and authorized
the original stockholders to surrender two shares of old
stock, and receive one share of new. April 8,1845, a branch
was allowed to he built from Chester to Newburgh, 19 mi.
The road was opened as follows: from Piermont to Goshen,
Sept. 22,1841; to Middletown, June 7, 1843; to Port Jervis,
Jan. 6,1848; to Binghamton, Dec. 28,1848; to Owego, June
1, 1849; to Elmira, Oct. 1849; to Corning, Jan. 1,1850; and
to Dunkirk, May 14,1851. The Newburgh Branch opened
Jan. 8, 1850. The road is compelled to pay a bonus of
$10,000 annually to the State of Pennsylvania for the priv¬
ilege of passing a short distance in that State. Ample details
will be found in The New York & Erie R. R. Guide, the annual
and special reports of the company, and especially that of
Nov. 1853, and in the following documents of the New Tork
Regislature: Senate Doc. No. 12, of 1836; Nos. 37, 38, of
1839; Nos. 18, 58, of 1842. Assem. Docs. Nos. 27, 171 of
1838; No. 47, of 1839; No. 215, of 1840; Nos. 113, 297, of
1841; and No. 50, of 1842. The Patterson

mung R. R., and the Elmira, Jefferson, & Canandaigua R. 14,
