AND NORTH WESTERN RAILROAD.
House bill ratifying the lease between
the Nashville and Chattanooga and Nash
vile and Northwestern Railroads was |
called for.
Mr.. Townsend suggested that in view Of |
the fact that there were already bills be-
fore the House providing for the sale of de-
linquent railroads, and as the Northwest
en Railroad was largely indebted to the |
State, it would be better to refer the pres
ent bill to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Fleming took the same view of /
the matter, saying the Judiciary Commit
tee had now bills before it in reference to |
the sale of certain roads, and until those /
bills were disposed of, it would be prema-
ture to pass the present bill.
Mr. Caldwell favored the immediate |
passage of the bill, contending that the rati- |
ication of the lease would not affect the |
disposition of the Legislature in regard TO |
insolvent roads.
Mr. Roach advocated the immediate pas
sage of the bill. The Committee on In |
ternal improvements unanimously recon-
mended its passage, and their action was
indorsed by the best railroad men in the |
State The road was in such a condition
now that it was absolutely necessary to |
take immediate action looking to dispOsing
of it in some way.
Mr.. Dilhn thought the interest OF the |
State in the road was SO great that justice
to the principal stakeholder demanded such
a grave matter as leasing it out should not
be effected without mature conderation.
The bill ought to be referred to the Judi
ciary Committee.
Further discussion ensued, after which,
by a vote of 30 to -, the bill was referred
to the Judiciary Committee without being
passed on its second reading.
