The Committee on Railroads and Canals made
the following report on Assembly bill No. 266
to be entitled an act to incorporate the Chatta-
hoochee and Alabama Railroad and to aid In the
construction thereof
That they have carefully considered the same:
that they find from the report of State officials
printed for the information of the present Legis-
lature, that the State has already granted TO var
Gus railroad companies several millions of acres
Of land more than the State now owns, or will
own, when all the unsurveyed lands have been
acquired that these roads have from three TO FIVE
years within which TO build their lines; that the
State is legally and morally bound to hold all its
lands in trust for these roads until the time given
them by law to build their roads has expired
The faith OF the State is pledged to these corpo-
rations. To keep that faith unstained, to pro-
tect the honor of Florida, and to avoid colossal
litigation, which will create distrust OF all the
State enterprises at the centres Of capital, your
Committee feels bound to oppose the granting of
any land, and the Committee therefore recon-
mend that the bin de not pass.
