| lions for? Simply as a bonus.
Mr.. Ray: Why is it that the Chattanooga
Railroad asks Sl2. 500 per mile, and this sub
sidy, when they said they could build it
without.
Mr.. Ogden: At that time they had no idea
OF the hercuean task they had undertaken.
| This bill has no refer ence to the bill of last
, session. They have completed their road TO
Mobile, or they are so near completion that
you may say the road is completed. Now,
| they say. We intend to complete the road to
Texas. Mr.. Blackman wants you TO give Us
five millions Qaughter); we only ask for
| three million. | am satisfied no man inter-
ested in a railroad would yme in here and
ask for six Thousand dollars a mile if he
supposed the road could be built without it.
| Therefore, this, think, is offered ell her to
| kill the bill or enrich the Monroe railroad
There Is no necessity Of it. For this reason
must oppose the amendment. l. therefore,
move to lay 1t on the table.
| Mr.. Ogden withdrew the motion for Mr..
Egan.
| Mr.. Egan: merely wish to state as citi-
| zen OF North Louisiana, and rs one interest
! ed IN the success OF the Nicksburg ana
Shreveport railroad, would like to do any
thing could do con5cientiOusly and consist
entity 10 aid that enterprise, but was com
| PEELED through principle to vote against Mr..
| The mDsons proposition, as l have voted
| against the subsidy for the Chattanooga
| railroad. It is wroL in principle: 1t would
| involve the State inextricably. The Chatta-
nOoga railroad company Ivy this will Involve
! the State, in the course Of forty years, to the
amount of twenty four million OF dollars.
aud the proposition of Mr.. Thompson would
| involve the State for the North Louisiana
! railroad company nearly nine million OF
/ dollars in the course of forty years; and
will oppose both PROPOSITIONS, because
| think them wrong in principle. now renew
the motion to lay the proposition OF Mr..
| Thompson on the table.
