Rail project funding dispute stirs local politics
Public dispute centers on guaranteed patronage and funding for a railroad starting with a written pledge rather than stock. Thomas J. Kenny and J Henry Freeman defend mayor Felder’s efforts to raise 1500 dollars to assure operation, while Major Speer opposes the project and claims not to support the railroad. The exchange references past notices, subscriptions, and statements made before Capt. Myrick.
