Description
Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners of the State of New York, Vol. 1: For the Year 1896
Supervision of railroad properties and corporations are, better ser vice, better maintenance, reduced rates whenever conditions war rant and a guarantee to the roads that in giving these they will be protected in the enjoyment Of their franchises to the extent Of being permitted to earn Operating expenses and fixed charges and make fair returns to their stockholders. There is no need for another trunk line in this State at the present time. Laterals will gradually be extended into unoccupied territory, but this is a field particularly inviting to electric roads, and many such feeders to trunk lines are being built where there is public demand for rail road facilities, but where the traffic does not warrant the construe tion and maintenance Of a steam road.
