Notes:
The grant to this company in Nebraska contemplates that one-half the land shall be taken on each side of the road; but in adjustment of said grant the company has received more lands than it is entitled to, the excess lying on north side, and though suit is pending for recovery of said excess, and no more lands can be patented to the company, yet lands on south side of road, where grant is deficient, that were subject to the grant at definite location, are not open to entry, but subject to the action of the court.
