November 15th 1833, Reports made to the Stockton and Darlington Railway Commettee by John Graham

Gentlemen
I beg leave to call your attention to the following points where I think A Considerable saving to the Company can be Effected
1st Is the Darlington and Middlesbro Engines ought not to be allowed to Burn Nut Coals as small Coals can be Got at A Reasonable Rate, and no Engine in the Coal Trade that I know of uses any thing else
2nd Is the Halling of waggons at Brusselton East & West Banks and Black Boy Branch I have had 2 or 3 offers for Brusselton West Bank less then the Company is now paing, dose the Company think it would be right to take offers

[Page 50]

in for the above places;
3d Is the Repairing of waggons Broke by the Companys Engines I think the Company would do well to take offers in from the different waggon Builders upon the various scantlers used
