The New York Tribune, I'M an elaborate state

aomo worry interesting STATISTICS showing nota-
bio increase IN tho mems Of wator transporta-
tion. Tho Eric Railroad Ia now running thirty
steamers in all, with an aggregate carrying Gu
pacity Of $4,000 tong. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road has a foot OF twonty-ono steamers, ranging
from 600 to 1900 tons capacity. Tho Atlantic
l. Pacific Lalo Company have stoamors,
and tho Wostorn Transportation Company IL
passenger and freight steamers. The number
Of vessels Of oil kinds engaged haa great1y iu-

The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-11-08
RAILROAD C0MmsssgO1s.i..

Rutland was visited, Thursday, with Il
Slight disturbance, in the nature of m in
significant railroad imbroglio. We do not
cire 10 stop and enquire who is right or
who Is wrong in the matter, because it is
of 10 particular consequence to the general
public The whole matter was involved in
the passage of the locomotives Of the Rcns-
-clcr and Saratoga railroad company over
some four rods of track belonging to, or
placed on lands owned by, the Harlem EX-
tension railroad company. The use of this
track is nothing new, and it was a convcn-
fence for the first named corporation TO
enable them to reach wood, water, etc.
Whoever is right or wrong, the public
ought not to he compelled TO suffer, and
such state of affairs ought not to be al
lowed to remain twenty-four hours. Most
of the railroad charters granted by the leg
stature of Vermont. contain clause pro-
wiling that they can cross or use the road
bed or track of another, and that theirs
can be used in like manner, upon terms to
be agreed upon and if not agreed upon,
then the courts. upon proper application,
are TO fix reasonable terms therefor.
Whether these provisions extend to the
Harlem Extension railroad company or not,
we cannot say. If they do, the remedy
would not be timely, complete or ade-
quate. One thing is certain these rail-
road charters are all subject to amendment,
and come within the provisions of any gen.
eral railroad law that has been, or may be-
passed. The affair is small one but
similar instances, upon a larger scale and
with more disagrceable, if not disastrous
consequences to the public may occur, and
should be provided for. Let our legisla-
ture at once repeal the ridiculous law UNI
der which railroad commissioner does
nothing. In its stead, give us a commits
soner, who would honor the state, and
clothe him with authority to rectify
wrongs, protect the people, prevent cor
pOrations from cncroaching upon the
rights of the people or each other Let
him be something more than an efligy, but
select him because he is a man who under
stands his business, understands railroads
and their workings, has no ''entanglng al
liances," and has sufficient ability to sug-
gest necessary legislation. Such a COM
missioner would do some good, and his re-
port would be instructive and interesting,
and not mess of nonsense in the shape
of half filled up tables.

criticise their management. Let our Yer
mont railway managers take warning and
correct abuses. One year more and they
may be called upon to account for the trust
that has been committed to them.
1t is to be feared wrong may be COM
mitted by the opposition TO railroads
current may run to strong the other way,
and place the power in experienced hands,
and railroad interests may suffer. An an
nounccment has been made that the fare
on the Rensselaer, and Saratoga railroad is
to be reduced to three cents per mile This
Is believed to be too low, for along most of
its line the passenger traffic will not war
rant it, and will show such a falling off
in travel that it will be necessary to put 1t
back to the present rates which are too high
The New York Central railroad can carry
passengers at two cents Il mile while other
roads viii lose money at three cents. The
trial of reduction of the rate at this peri
cd Of the year will only serve to make the
showing worse i'm reducing rates. Rail
roads should have rcmuneraivc rates for
both freight and passengers and that mat
ter should be considered to ascertain what
rates will call out the most business and
leave the largest margin between gross
earnings and cost of operating the road.
That this should be perfectly adjusted and
what is for the best interests of the patrons
looked after. with fairtreatment of local
itics in general with points that are more
favorably located.
A further consideration Of this railroad
question will be given at another time
