North Carolina bond case surfaces in South Dakota defeat
The South Dakota legislature defeated Senator Dillon’s bid to return 22 416 to North Carolina, part of the long bond dispute tied to Western North Carolina railroad bonds. The drama dates back to 1859 and 1867 financing, with New York interests holding bonds and later suing in the U S Supreme Court. Proposals to reclaim funds face partisan fight and questions over refunds versus appropriations.
