Texas Rail Road Charter Promises State Land Grants
A Texas legislative act proposes a private company to build a railroad from Fulton Arkansas to El Paso Rio Grande. It grants twenty sections per mile, right of way, land reserves, bonds, stock at 100 dollars, and state backing. The governor adverts bids, selects the best offer, and finalizes contracts with stringent conditions and penalties.
