Greeley Weathered Land Title Debate And Rail Woes
A mass meeting is planned at the Court House on April 2 to discuss city finances and avoid bonds this year. The article explains the uncertain title to a 160 acre southeast quarter once bought with railroad funds, the land dispute with Terrill, and possible government purchase at $2.50 per acre if railroad title fails. It notes recent deadly fires and railroad accidents, calls for hotel safety checks, and predicts Colorado immigration boosting Denver and Greeley trade. It discusses redistricting plans, steam heated trains by New York Central, and the fate of Senate and inter state commerce railroad bills.
