Management

From 1827 to 1866 the management of the station was carried on by a committee. During this time it was chiefly maintained from imperial revenues which constituted the station fund. In January 1865, to raise revenue for the improvement of the station, a municipality was organized, and in May 1866, its limits were extended to include the whole of the station. The committee was dissolved in April 1867, and the management transferred to a town municipality. Its income was limited and therefore, Government contributed from the public revenues.
