4 apr 1866 anni - Amendment to Indian Appropiation Act to pay creek and seminoles

Descrizione:

By the treaties of 1866,2 the Creeks and Seminoles granted a right of way to railroads which the United States might later authorize to construct and operate routes across their lands. They agreed to permit the railroads to buy strips up to three miles in width on each side of the track. In the succeeding thirty-six years, Congress, by a series of special acts, authorized the construction and operation of railroads,3 and in 1902 it passed a [318 U.S. 629, 632] general statute concerning future railroad construction in the Indian territory. 4 The 1902 Act included a provision, 16, that railroads should pay a fixed annual sum per mile to the Secretary of the Interior for the benefit of the tribes.
