Attorney General finds Cotton Belt consolidation violates constitution
In Austin on March 3 the Attorney General ruled that the proposed Cotton Belt consolidation breaches the Texas constitution by failing to consider public service in exchange for state privilege. The opinion cites de facto consolidation of the St. Louis Southwestern and St. Louis North Western Railways as illegal, and notes no valid consideration exists for absorbing Eastern Texas lines. The Stephenville North and South Texas Railway plan is cited as providing adequate consideration, unlike other bills.
