Summary
Petition to the Senators and Representatives of the State of Michigan from citizens of New Buffalo and vicinity about a proposed point of embankment for a railroad to Lake Michigan. The petition includes information from an attorney for the Central Rail Road who stated that the railroad would approach Lake Michigan in Indiana, which would not fulfill their charter. The petitioners ask that "the said company be enjoined to faithfully and truthfully fulfil the conditions of their charter, by improving their pier, making it safe for landing at all times. ... Tell them that their machiavellian policy has a tendency to injure those to whom the people have entrusted their affairs. Tell them to show a disposition to honorably fulfill their present obligations to the State, before they seek for favors at your hands." (Pages 3-4)
