Hon. Mr. Greenway defends his railway policy from 1888 noting continued expansion with $1,750 per mile bonuses for lines such as the Northern Pacific Frost Basin and C. P. R. extensions. He rebuts claims of improper deals with Waskada and other contracts and asserts continued support for local development and settlement.
