] ar Iusiow Railroad Matter Again
Nr Balpr introduced bill to repea
tat 200. laws Of 1887, and portion
ter -, laws of 1889, in relatio
Cgf5liaa Railroad 90. Mr. Gil
,A moved TO commit the bill. ]
.lea. the bill was put upon It's reac
.g.. TUs bll gives this road one-ha
81 the State land, limits the first NOR
gleo l1aJs to $4,000, and compels th
road To mn through the State lands.
Mr.. Butter sent up resolutions of Stat
Board Of Education requesting the pa
age OF the legislation proposed b
am The Board protested again'
deciding all this land to the road, an
against allowing an increase in hr
mortgage bonds; and against alowiI
hatoad to merely outskirt the Sta
land.
Mr.. Gilman felt deep interest in th
matter. The less light thrown on tn
Question the better the chances OF Nj
Buffers bill. The Senate has not con
here TO stab corporations whenever I
opportunity is allowed. My people wa
fairness aud justice. 1t is not true tn
this company has acted in bad falt
aud We ought not to take away the rlgf
Of his company. The Board of Educ
lion do not say they were Ignorant OF
al esis.atiou. Their hindsight IS b
.er than their foresight. Now the &c
Iamau from Sampson wants to knt
.9 the company wants all that ian
Because it looks well to own so mu
Hl4, however worthless it may be,
0a.y can probably borrow enough mon
50 alld the road on that much land.
tlc State Board of Education can fine
hJtgr bidder than this road-can
l,y cents sn acre for that land, sh
u,s say word. But they cam
/. sa's DILL OF the greatest importaE
90 my section which has been lsola
from the world for years, Q
axe you going to kill this P
posed railr0ad2 Talk about bad ia
when the Board of Education saw 1t
aud did it all-acccpted their teri
Tie Board of Education will not &C
Up here aud say that the L. @. Rsilr'
Company is guilty of bad faith. Whate
else can be said one thing is cert;
that the gentleman who obtained
rights in the supplemental act OF
last legislature are rot the gentler
who are now asking Tor this char
Let the Board of Education show WI
Tie Schools have been imposed upon
then Ill vote against everything
company wants 1t is unjust and un
10 any people TO oppose this charter
90 not believe this Senate will 90
Mr., Bellamy offered substitute to
qare the railroad company to Civ
tae State $25 600 in cash instead OF :
900 In bonds L made the declara
Yesterday that the road was OF
value and that the mortgage bonds
oi less value | therefore move that
substitute be enacted SO that the
Board can get cash instead OF DO
Ills substitute does away with the
ton limiting the execution of morte
bonds by the company to SO much
mile.
