Railroad Land Rights Case Ends Settlement of Grants
Federal Judge Lewis Schwellenbach ordered Northern Pacific Railway to relinquish a belt of land from Wisconsin to the Pacific coast. The decree requires surrender of 2,800 acres and reconveyance of 363,000 acres valued at 1.26 million dollars plus a 300,000 dollar payment for 65,000 acres. The action, tracing to Lincoln era grants, enables use of the 1940 Transportation Act to release railroad land claims and affect military and freight movement.
