the Legislature would have dared to

New Plan for Disposing Of tn. Land
Grant.

A"V proportions IN relation to the
Land Grant, were presented last
week in the Senate in the form Of
substitutes for pending bills-one by
Senator Little the other by Senator
Quimby, the provisions of which are
thus summarized
The substitute presented by SEN
ator Little provides that any rail-
road company may, by the lst Of
May next, submit TO the State a
proposition, stating the terms upon
which IT will construct the Land
Grant roads. The proposition Is to
contain an agreement tina. the com
pany will issue 10000 600 First
Mortgage Land GRAFT Bonds, and
TO state what amount of them the
company will give to the State to
aid in the constr uciion Of other rail-
roads. The propositions are 10 be
opened BY the Governor, Secretary
Of State and State Treasurer, who
are TO determine which is most ia
vorable to the State, which next,
which third and so on with all, and
accept the most favorable. If the
company whose proposition is first
accepted shall fail to comply with
II, in any respect, the next is to be
accepted, and SO on until some one
is accepted which will construct the
roads. The bonds which the com
pany gives to the State in considera-
ton of the grant, are to be disposed
OF to aid other railroads as the Leg
islature may direct.
The proposition presented by Sen.
ator Quimby provides mode of dis.
posi- & Of the bonds received by the
State, which is to give five thousand
dollars per mile to aid in the coz
struction of roads upon the following
routes, and if there shall not be
enough for that purpose, then Ave
thousand dollars to each line in the
order here named:
LIST. From the Mississippi river 10 Chin
pewa Falls and Menominee sixty. FIVE miles.
ID. From Mineral Point to Portage City,
seventy miles.
Sd. From Dodgeville 70 ElrOy, six,y-fvs
miles.
4,h. From Monroe TO Dubuque, sixty-two
mi es.
5th. From Princeton to POrtsge City.
tweuty-eight miles.
Total two hundred and ninety
miles, and requiring 81 $50, 900 OF
bonds.
If there should be o surplus, the
substitute provides that it shall be
appropriated as the Legislature may
direct.
Another proposition is made in the
amendment of the Milwaukee and
ST. Paul railroad bill 1t make.
Prescott the initial point of the road
to Lake Superior provides for the
building of freight al d passenger
depots at Hudson requires the
building of sixty instead of forty
miles of road per year from the St
Croix toward Lake Superior, and the
extension, within two years, of the
road from Monroe in Green county
to Gratiot on the Mineral Point road
in La Fayette county. With these
amendments the proposition of the
Milwaukee and St. Paul company to
secure the Grant is by far the most
liberal. 1t insures the const uction
of more road, in shorter space OF
time, than any other proposition yet
made. The members of the Legisla-
ture from Grant, Iowa, La Fayette
and Green Counties should 90 soldly
for this bill, as it's passage would
give these portions direct line to
Milwaukee, and market place moi
now enjoyed.
