Is it true that the railroads are so |
chartered in this State that the
managers can raise tariff on any ar
ticle and 10 any extent they please,
without any notice, until they divide
10 per cent. dividend Oh their stock
If it is so the people of Vermont are
at the mercy of railroad managers,
unless they are fortunate enough to
live on it's borders for no railroad
company will ever divide lOpercent,
dividends if their income was twice
or even ten times that. They have
already done TALKING Of running
their roads to accommodate the
public, and claim that they run
them to make money, and this any
one can easily see who has done any
business with them, for frelghts
have nearly or quite doubled within
the last ten wears, and on some artl-
4 cles theN double, and more than
d0nhlc in one year. For example,
moving machines, i'll 1866 were
shipped from New York TO Barton.
VT, fUr SJ.6.; in 1867 the same
machines from the same place were
charged at Barton over $1,000. In
1866 all sizes were rated at 800 lbs. :;
in lS67 they added one-half to the
weight-250 lbs.-and shipped them
from \. y. to Barton at $50 lbs.
and when they reached the Conn. \
Pass. X. r., they added 300 or SO
lbs. more, and charged first elias,
freight through. and no remedy can
be obtained. But when the mana
gers found that they could not hay,
any more to carry at that eXtrava
CANT price, they, in 1897. delivered
the same machines from the same
place at Barton tor 500 EACH
