"To the Legislature of the State of Michigan: Your petitioners, inhabitants of the County of Hillsdale, respectfully represent, that they, in common with the other inhabitants of the State, are favorably disposed towards channels of communication by means of Rail Roads, with proper guards and restrictions as to their powers. They are aware that applications will be made by the Central and Southern Rail Roads for amendments to their charters, authorizing the extension of their roads, under their present charters, from Detroit to Monroe or the southern line of the State. Your petitioners are in favor of authorizing the Southern Rail Road Company so to extend their road, upon the express condition that in the same law further amendments be made, such as the exigency of the times seems to require."--Page 1.
