APRIL 10, 1886. -- Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed.
Mr. HEWITT, from the Committee on Ways and Means, submitted the following
REPORT:
[To accompany bill H. R. 5789.]
The Committee on Ways and Means, to whom was referred House bill 5789, submit the following report:
That the change provided for in the bill has been rendered necessary by the opening of a new railway which has its terminus at Cape Charles City, to which the business formerly done at Cherrystone is thus transferred. The Secretary of the Treasury has approved the proposed change, as will appear by his letter of April 5, 1886, hereto annexed.
