Bliss Reverses Order on Missouri Land Endowment
Washington April 16. Secretary Bliss halted an order from his predecessor granting 48,000 acres of land to Missouri for its state university endowment. The land, tied to a branch line of the San Francisco railroad, was contested after the line failed to be completed and by precedent set for Kansas. The Secretary now takes the Missouri claim as the basis for a broader land grant dispute.
