This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Relations Between the Central Pacific Railroad Company and the United States Government: Summary of Facts; 1889 The relations between the Central Pacific Railroad Com pany and the Government are twofold. There are legal obligations on either side, which are specified in the sev eral Acts of Congress; and there are equitable considera tions which are evident only on an examination of the history and the causes which led to the passage of the Acts. The legal obligations have recently been fully examined into and reported on by the United States Pacific Railway Commission, which was appointed by the President, pursuant to the Act of Congress approved March 3, 1887. Their report and the testimony on which it is based comprise nine printed volumes octavo, which, by its size, precludes its ready use. A summary of this report as to the Central Pacific will furnish in brief form a viewof the facts as to the legal obligations of the company and the United States under the several Acts of Congress, and Will show that they have been kept fully and in good faith by the company, but that they have not been com plied with in all respects by the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Transcontinental Railroad, originally called the Pacific Railroad, was a railroad built in the United States between 1863 and 1869 that connected the western part of America with its eastern part. Built by the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad, it connected the Eastern terminus of Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska with the railroad lines of the Pacific Ocean at Oakland, California. In time, it would link in with the existing railway network present on the Eastern Coast of America, thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coast of the United States for the first time by rail. Because of this, the line received a second nickname, “the Overland Route.” The railroad was a government operation, authorized by Congress during the height of the Civil War. Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Acts in 1862 and again in 1864. To pay for it, the US government issued 30 year bonds, as well as granting government land to contractors. The construction of the line was a major achievement by both the Union Pacific (constructing westward from Iowa) and the Central Pacific (constructing eastward from California). The line was officially opened on May 10, 1869, with the Last Spike driven through the railway at Promontory Summit, Utah. James K. Wheaton looks at the history in this eBook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pacific Railroad: The Relations Existing Between It and the Government of the United States IT is impossible to discuss, intelligibly, the question of the relations between the government of the United States and the Pacific Railroad Companies, and of their respective legal obligations and rights, under and by virtue of the act incor porating said companies, without a full and careful considera tion of the condition of the country at the time of the passage of the bill and the amendments thereto, as nearly all the arguments urged in favor of or against the proposed measure were drawn from such condition, which was one of civil war threatening the very existence of the nation. All the mind and strength of the people of the North were put forth for self-preservation and the maintenance of their territorial unity. One of the means to this end was a railroad across the conti nent to unite its two great slopes. It was inaugurated, on the part of government, almost wholly as a military measure. The appropriations made to it were regarded as fully justified on such ground. Its construction was committed to a private company, or companies, for the reason of their greater compe teney to construct and manage works that were to be commer cial as well as military in their character. As the value of the road, for whatever purposes, would be shared equally by the nation, it was but just that its cost should, as far as necessary, be assessed equally upon the nation. All these considerations entered into and gave the peculiar form of language to the bill that was finally passed. Strange to say, these considerations are now almost wholly forgotten, and by none more so than by the government which inaugurated and supplied the means for the construction of the roads, and which is supposed to be always connusant of its acts in the past. But this very government now seeks to construe the law, not by reasons and conditions existing when it was enacted, but by those now existing, and which are wholly different. But the companies need not shun alegal contest. They can be compelled to do only what they agreed to do. Government was compe tent to make an outright gift of its bonds, if it chose - or to give credit for the interest, as well as principal, for the whole time the latter had to run. There is no privity between the holders of the bonds of the government and the railroad com pantes. The attorney-general unfortunately knows nothing of all this. He was not in a position to know any thing of the feeling or action of the North when the railroad bill became a law. He has, consequently, assumed both his law and his facts to support his conclusions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
