Summary
Petition of citizens of Allegan County, Michigan, to the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives. The petitioners indicate, "that they live in an important lumbering and agricultural region of the State of Michigan; that the various branches of business and manufacture in which they are engaged are seriously impaired for the want of those railroad facilities enjoyed by other parts of the state." They ask that the Legislature make a grant of swamp lands in Allegan County for the construction of a railroad from Grand Rapids to Allegan and from Allegan to St. Joseph and New Buffalo. The petition includes more than three pages of the names of the signatories, beginning with A. R. Caulkins.
