railroad each year; that under the provisions of the constitution of the state of Wisconsin, the legislature thereof can repeal said former charters and resume said grants of land, and can charter the proposed new company and confer upon it the said grant of land, and that in the opinion of your memorialists, all the wise reasons of public policy that existed for making the original grant and for its subsequent extension, now exist in greater force, for a further extension of the time for building the said road, and for a continuance of the grant of land in aid thereof. Your memorialists, therefore, pray for such action on the part of your honorable body, as will extend the time for the completion of the said railroad, "from the St. Croix river or lake, between townships twenty-five and thirty-one, and thence to the west end of lake Superior and to Bayfield," and for a continuance of the grant of land heretofore made to aid in its construction, for such reasonable period, not less than five years, as your honorable body may determine; and that the extension of such grant of land be made to the state of Wisconsin, for the Northern Wisconsin railway campany. Approved February 18, 1869. NUMBER 3. MEMORIAL to congress for a grant of land to build a wagon road. To the honorable the congress of the United States: 1 Your memorialists, the legislature of the state of Wisconsin would most respectfully ask for a grant of lands to the state of Wisconsin, for the purpose of building a wagon road from the village of Chippewa Falls in Chippewa county, Wisconsin, to Ashland, in the county of Ashland, in the state of Wisconsin. Your memorialists further respectfully represent that there is at present a large tract of country lying between Chippewa Falls and Ashland that is unsettled and unavailable, because of its inaccessibility, and the contemplated wagon road between the points mentioned will be the means of opening the country to emigrants who are desirous of settling there, and will result in great benefit to this state and to the general government. And your memorialists will ever pray. Approved March 11, 1869. NUMBER 4. MEMORIAL to congress to establish a port of entry at Superior, Wisconsin.
