Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A General Railroad System for New Jersey, by Free Legislation for Local Railroads for Every Part of the State, and a Main Trunk Double-Track Railway for the Nation: And an Examination of the Alleged Monopoly of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company
For the clearer understanding of this subject, the condition of our State, and the lines of travel existing at the time of the first grant for a railroad should be considered. We are thus enabled to see what was the protection the Legislature intended to give to early railways. By also contrasting the increased business and improvements of our people with their former restricted trade and facilities, the imperative demands of the present generation for the modern modes of transportation will be recognized. This right of the people for grants of local roads for every part of New Jersey, will be still more manifest in view of the general intro duction of railroads in most of the States of the Union, especially in the Northern, Middle, and Western States, except New Jersey, as a general railroad map too plainly shows, particularly when contrasted with the map of existing and proposed railroads for our State.
