Coal railroad doomed by stock watering ban
The Waterloo Pella and Southwestern coal railroad project collapses as the Peterson law blocks stock watering. The executive council refused a stock-issue extension, cutting potential funding from 70 000 to 42 000 per mile after loans and mortgages, likely making construction impossible. Proponents claimed the line would prove valuable at 50 000 to 60 000 per mile with expert affidavits, naming McMillan and Polk among signers.
