Proclamation of the Bailie Plan for Troy Missouri Rail Deal
The St. Louis Hannibal and Keokuk railroad company and the Missouri and Iowa railway construction company propose building a line from the St. Louis Kansas City and Northern route to Troy Missouri by October 1875 and locating machine and repair shops there. Bedford Township would subscribe $55,000 of stock payable in bonds with ten percent interest, to be delivered to Walton Perkins as trustee, securing $35,000 in stock to the railroad companies, with penalties if Troy is abandoned.
