Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners: January, 1872

Sixty-eight enactments in all in relation to railroads and horse-railways, were passed by the legislature of 1871. Of these, fifteen were of the nature of general and fifty-three were special laws. Fifteen charters for the construction of new roads were granted, of which fourteen were railroads and one was a horse railway; and four old charters were revived. The following table supplies the material of forming a comparison between the legislation just referred to of 1871 and that of the five preceding years. (table No.

It will be observed that during the last six legislative years no less than forty-nine general laws and Resolves have been passed in relation to the railroads of Massachusetts, besides two hundred and ninety-four laws of special application. Of these, sixty-three have been either Acts of incorporation or of revival. As nearly as the Commissioners can ascertain from very defective returns, there were constructed, during the six railroad years terminating on the 30th day of September, 1871, miles of railroad in the entire State.
