State Likely to Contest Land Claim at Galveston Island
Austin July 2 The U S attorney general told the secretary of war that the land at the eastern end of Galveston island housing the government fortifications and the state quarantine station is a federal military reservation under 1845 articles and thus transferred to the United States. Texas officials dispute the ruling saying the land belongs to the state and plan court action if needed. The dispute may force the quarantine station to be rebuilt at a new site.
