Since the first visit of the Committee to the tunnel, many important changes have been made in the force above mentioned, to wit: The salary of the chief engineer was reduced to $3,600, he to provide his transportation to various points upon the work. One of the assistant engineers resigned and retired, and the office of two of them has been abolished. The salary of the superintendent has been increased to $3,000. The office of freight clerk has been abolished, and its duties transferred to that of paymaster and cashier. The salaries of store-keepers and their assistants were not a charge to the State, but were paid from the profit of their respective stores. At the commencement of the work, it was deemed necessary to provide stores at the three points where the operations were carried on, to supply the workmen readily with necessaries, so that no time might be lost by them in the important duty of making provision for their families. But in the present state of the enterprise, it is probable that private individuals would readily establish such stores, and relieve the State from a duty which, although it involved no pecuniary charge, diverted to some extent the attention of officers from their more legitimate avocations.
