Description
This suit involves the interpretation of the contract between the city of Winona and the Minnesota Railway Construction Company, bearing date April 23, 1870. It was brought on certain coupons which were attached to the bonds whereof mention is made in that contract, and delivered by the depositary to the company after one-half of them in number and value we e overdue. They were received by the plaintiff below, after their maturity and before the commencement of this suit. The company stipulated that within three years from that date it would build, equip, and put in operation in its own name, or that of its successors and assigns, or of the St. Paul and Chicago Railway Company, a good and substantial railway from St. Paul to Winona (excepting a bridge across the Mississippi River at Hastings), and connect at Winona by bridge or ferry with the La Crosse, Trempealeau, and Prescott Railroad; that a part of said railway between certain points specifically mentioned should be completed and put in operation within one year; and that the La Crosse, Trempealeau, and Prescott Railroad, from its terminus opposite Winona, should be put in operation to a point on the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway east of north La Crosse within the year 1870.
