Two Mile Rail Extension Defeated in Legislature
The house rejected an administration measure to extend the state railroad two miles funded by the school fund by a 61 to 45 vote. A separate plan to extend the line to Palestine at an estimated cost of 50 000 passed 90 to 13 to aid iron works marketing. The session featured debates on state ownership, adjournment, and governance as San Jacinto Day activities unfolded in San Antonio. The Waters-Pierce fine was paid, with a total of 1 808 483 30 dollars and 90 474 16 allocated to Travis county attorney fees.
