The required subscription of $1,000,000 having been obtained, the Company was organized in the following April, and the surveys of the route at once undertaken under the superintendence of Col. S. H. Long and Jonathan Knight. To aid them several members of the United States Topographical Corps were detailed by the General Government. A report of the preliminary surveys was made in April, 1828, and the road located to the Point of Rocks during the ensuing summer. On the 4th July, ground was broken at Baltimore by the venerable Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, and shortly after the first section, extending to Ellicott's Mills, was put under contract. The remaining distance to the Point of Rocks was not let till the following summer. At the close of 1828, the capital subscribed amounted to $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 had been taken by individuals, $500,000 by the City of Baltimore, and $500,000 by the State of Maryland. Application for aid was made to Congress in the same year, but failed of success. |
