Note 107 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
United States Pacific Railway Commission, p. 3048, testimony E. H. Miller. For a general discussion of the relative advisability of construction by contract as opposed to construction by the Central Pacific itself, see an earlier report by Stanford, Hopkins, and Miller. (Ibid., pp. 3045-46.) This report made the point that the letting of contracts to a responsible contractor would raise the credit of the railroad.
