The aid of the commonwealth is, in the first place, essential to the further prose-cnticn of turnpikes. Hitherto the improvement of the state has been effected by a system of individual sacrifices ; and those who in con- sideration of public-assistance, of pecunia- ry recompense, or of an indirect indemnity in the rise of'other properly, have embark- ed a portion of their funds in the construc- tion of a road, have derived no other profit frOia the experiment but a l-sson of caution in future undertakings. There is not at this time in the state of Pennsylvania a sin- gle turnpike of twenty miles in length that produces five per cent, to its proprietors ; se- veral do not average four percent, and in others the whole amount of receipts is con- sumed by.repairs and debts, and the capital of the stockholders is a dead mass. This failure proceeds in part from a cause which the extension of turnpike reads will to a de- gree remove, inasmuch as a facility; of car- riage from the remote quarters of the state must inevitably increase its amount, and the profits derivable from it; but jt cannot be doubt- ed that its .effects have already fallen with so much severity upon the private proprie- tor as fatally to check this salutary species of enterprise. Acts of incorporation may still be solicited from the legislature, and paper turnpikes may be found in our statute books, bu'c the traveller will find little profit from tire labor of companies dispirited by the fate of their predecessors, and who must see from all prior example, that their jiioiit is to be an' yiverse ratio to the liberality of their expenditures. The assistance uf the commonwealth will probably correct the evil, aad restore this half extinguished spirit by several opera- tions : ist. liy taking a portion of the shares in any turnpike capital, they reduce by so mi en the actual payment of private stock- holders, upon whom of course the pros- pect of an indirect indemnity in the rise of other property will act with increased force. 2;ily. By increasing the facility of carriage fr.un all quarters of the state, the amount of internal commerce must be much enlarg- ed ; the travelling on turnpike roads receive a propoitional spring, and the pecuniary, re- turn of the stockholder be so far improved. 8dly. liy embarking as an adventuier in an enterprise from which every stockholder justly looks for reward, the commonwealth will fee] an additional motive for protecting the rights of the proprietors by every jalu- ta'ry and constitutional guard ; and it is ex- tremely obvious that one of the several causes which have contributed to the fail- ure of turnpike stock, has existed in the ease with which payment of tolls has be.en evaded, and in the difficulty of securing the stockholders against such unwarranta- ble and ruinous frauds. The subject embraced in this report, your committee deemed of the last importance to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On all sides of our state we have vigilant, intel- ligent and wt'alth^y rivals, who, by inserting tun ike roads upon the bordering counties, are exhausting much of that wealth which ought to circulate within our own territory. They .are also draining us of an tif ctivr mass of our population, our i. .' .v.r'ious far- mers ; who, poss,--; :is of trans- porting their produce to our own metrbpo- lisj at d b»|pg confined as it respects' all thepurposes oi Commerceto tfeeir own farms, are compelled, to desert the state, end to commit their fortunes to the protect bn of a more generous policy. Jt is UnqueSti true, that the state of Pu-.nsylva/.i.i. h most-extensive resources, capable of uniting remote parts of the commonwealth-by add- jflg but a.Httle to the efforts of nature, who has spread her streams around us with a bounty.our suphieness scarcely merits ; it is true that this state actually does more to encourage her neignbors than to benefit her- self; thfft she seems to slumber over tier in- terests while all around her is full of activi- ty ; and that liy a cruel policy she is reject- ing from her bosom those of her children who might be retained to cultivate her soil, to enrich her treasury, and to defend her rights. By the peculiar position of Her ter- ritory she is subject to injury from the ad- oress of the adjacent states ; but the redress is in our own hands, which may by proper activity counterpoise the evil, aiid draw tioni one neighbor an indemnity for the injury in- liicted by another. As it respects turnpiking, therefore, the committee, ubmit to the house, that it is the only just and practicable method cf improv- ing the principal roadsof thecqmrnonwealth; that it is es. ential to the bests interests cf this state, to cany turnpikes to all those princi- pal points of our territory which unite by subordinate roads either the settled points of the adjacent country, or those parts which from soil or situation are now fit for settle- ments ; that the aid of the legislature is an indispensible requisite to the prosecution of this plan ; and that it will be afforded with the best economy, and to the greatest effect, by an'union "with private adventurers. The utility of canals in certain cases can- not be questioned. The superiority of a water-carriage, wherever it is practicable, im- proved by the universal adoption of it ; and it is-by no means true that in our country, the want of water ill the summer season, or the obstruction of ice in the winter, can se- riously interfere with the uses of a canal. The objection in part snppost s a gross < n r in the construction of the canal; and it overlooks altogether a very material fact, that the season for transporting pro that in which the streams and' sources of water are most abundantly Supplied, and are capable of furnishing every demand which a canal can make. As a specks of internal improvement highly beneficial to the whole community, it is proper that the legisla- ture should assist with its funds the enter- prise of individuals in this particular, and should do every thing in its power to faci- litate the execution of the work and to se- cure its benefits to the proprietors. But in- asmuch as this species of improvement is not iikely to have the same extent with turnpike roads, nor to result so immediate- ly in the settlement and cultivat ion of the country, the committee do not think it ne- cessary to recommend so general a partici- pation in the one as in the other ; but sub- mit with deference their opinion that the works of this kind now claiming the at- tention of the legislature are eminently en- titled to it, tnd when completed must result in extensive benefits to the state. Tlie modification of the principle sur- mited upon the subject of turnpike roads will be left «ith propriety to the house when they shall have a bill upon this head' before them ; but they suggest that the bill should authorise the governor to subscribe oji behalf of the connncn'.ve^th one-fihh of the shares Ees in- corporated, this session, or to be hereafter incorporated, to be. yiuv upon -i.e conrpleti- on of the road, and a report to that effect made and subUaatiafed to the goVcrh'or ; the commonwealth thereafter ;,to stand as- a stockholder, and to pai.uppate ill tfle, pro- fits and in the control of tl;e institution. The committee think it proptr thu| ..tp. re- strict the principle, in asmnch as prior charters may have been granted without a due examination of the conipaiatiye impor- tance of the rbad ; and they extend it to all fn ure companies because the legislature holding the power of incorporation in their own hands will be competent judges of the propriety of the enterprize in which it is called to take a part, and may stipulate with the parties in case of necessity for a waiver of the assistance. Companies incorporated prior to this session -¦ ill stand upon their own merits ; and entitled many of theirs are to every aid from the legislature. One further observation the committee take the liberty to submit, though it {alls more properly within the province of ano- ther committee. The assistance suggested will no doubt require- considerable lunds ; but the means are before us ; and without; resorting to the sale of public stuck, or to the assessment of a tax, ample resources are to be found in the just debts due to'.the commonwealth, the collection of wide'' is demanded not less by -the necessities ot,'th.a state than by the voice of her citizens. Your committee therefore submit the fol- lowing resolution to the consideration of the house. fl«o/'o«/>-.That a committee be appointed g in,a bill authorising the govt-rf-or to subscribe on behalf cf this common. tar a certain proportion of the stock of all turnpike companies incorporated this session, and to be hereafter incorporated'.
