Passage of capital stock increases for railroads in New Hampshire
The New Hampshire House advanced bills to increase Boston and Maine railroad capital by five million dollars and Concord and Montreal by three million dollars. Supporters led by Stearns and Greene won broad backing while Heath and Davis led opposition to amendments. The bills moved toward Senate approval as committees caution on statutory revisions and a major ballot law loomed as the session’s key task.
