STATE AID To RAILROADS
MI Nancy resolution, submitted Yesterday for
Inc appointment OF Joint select committee to re
port upons such Railroad Companies as have not rom,
piled with the law, yet still should he included
amongst those entitled to State aid, now came mn
for consideration in the orders of the dav.
The resolution being read by the ClerL-
Mr. Newman. Mr. Speaker, wish to make = mo-
ZION IN regard to that resolutions but before DOING
So Will state that act of the last Ipcislotrrs
has already clearly provided for all that could he
attained by the adoption of that resolution rVa
read from the act its provisions referred IN 7 II
will be perceived that every Railroad COMPANY il
mere required 10 report the condition of their road
to the Railroad Commissioner sixty DAYS bcfora tho
commencement Of the session of the Legislature
and give all the information that coud he realized
under that resolution. The Commissioner of Roads
stated to me this morning, that he would be ready
by the 10th OF this month to make his report. The
railroad Companies having failed to make their
reports as required by law, it would be impossible
for him to be ready before that time-Tbe resolu
ton being superseded by the action of the last
Legislature l move to lay it on the table. With
drawn for
Mr. Nancy, who said: l had the honor. Mr.
Speaker, few days ago, to introduce here bill To
reueVe the state from Contingent Liability which
will read The first section of the bill pro !
Sha not ha -
or to any extent for the building of railroads where
the provisions Of the charters of railroad comma. |
MES have not been complied with. Section second |
provides for the repeal of all laws whereby State
aid has been granted for building railroads which
laws have not yet become operative upon the State |
oy noncompliance on the part of companies with |
their provisions but pr vides that the charters of
such companies are not intended to be repealed I
Upon n5ultatlOn with men of the most experience
IN regard to our State bonds in New York | intro
uuced thls DILL fer the purpose of getting rid of IL
contingent aid which the State has PROMISED NJ
grant In sundry "alrOad charters. Capitalists in
the market where ur bonds are exposed to sale are
saying 10 US, Here are your statistics, which you
have got an lndefaIe amount of State aid pied ged.
To meet this obj, atOn, introduced the bill have
read, anu tolloWe@ tup with this resolution | was
fully aware that " had n Road Commissioner and
that it his duty to report to this Honse. but
SIT, am anxious shat this special joint committee
should be appout ed, to inquire and report what
hailroads should zoe exempted from the operation
Of that bill
Mr. Newman. have no objection to the resou-
ION itself; but it:SOud be making reflection on the
Commissioner of Roads to appoint that special com
nlttee before heimakes his report to the General
Assembly, Thereore l renew my motion to Law the |
esolulion on the cable 8
Mr. Nancy demanded the yeas and nays on his
notion and they were ordered.
MIR White, Mr. Speaker, that seems to be the
al in Qtt
ave an understanding to the effect of this reso-
utlon would enquire if, from its phraseology this
onmlttee are To have the sole power to report to /
his House what roaIs, amongst those which have
lot come within the provisions of the internal i'm
rOvement acts, entitled and should receive
urther aid from the State My point is, whether all
hartered rail roads which have not completed 80 :
liles, not intended to be off by the adoption
f this resolution!
The Speaker, The Chair think the resolution looks
nat way. o
Mr White, That is what supposed from the .
hraseoogy of the resolution. But then the gentle d
an's bill expressly provides against such a thing I
nd yet he says the resolution is following up the al
in. p
Mr. Nancy, My bill does cut off broadly and fat C
all contingent aid; but then | am aware that y
lere rail roads commenced that have not COM ~
lied with the law, which should still be entitled to
d.; for instance; the Nashville and Henderson 80
abroad w. E
Mr. Newman here insisted on the point of order
hioh prohibits debate after the yeas and nays have
zen ordered and Mr. Nancy sat down.
The yeas and nays were now taken, and resulted
