Court upholds constitutionality of railroad station funding
The Court of Appeals ruled Congress validly approved 1.5 million dollars to the Baltimore and Ohio and to the Philadelphia Baltimore and Washington railways for the Union Station project. The decision rejects claims the acts were revenue measures or improper public money use, deeming them a contract between the U.S. District and the rail firms rather than an improper appropriation.
