ALBANY, Aug. 81, 1874.
j. s. Clark, Poultney:
| have referred your note OF the us
inst, to the New York Central and Hud
son River railroad, and will report to yo
on receipt of their reply We will do al
we can TO protect the shippers who hay
made contracts under the tariff of July ~
II. s. MARCY.
On motion of Burnes Frisbie the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a committee of five b
appointed to correspond with persons EN-
gagged in the marble business, and with al
other parties that they deem best, with {
view to proposition for bringing the mat
ter of regulating railroad rates before thu
next legislatures of New York and Yer
mont.
On motion of Barnes Frisbic Pitt w
Hyde was appointed chairman of the com
mittee. The chair appointed as the balance
of the committee Barnes Frisbie of Poult
ney; S. w. Bailey, Fair Haven II. w.
Hughes, Poultney; John Fyfe, Middle
Granville.
j. II. Wiswel as an explanation of the
reason why the tariff of July goth, was re-
voked suggested that as the rate to In
dianarolis and other points west was "A
cents per hundred pounds, OF which the
Delaware and Hudson canal company who
had only seventy niles Of railroad to draw
freight over received 26 cents per mile,
and other companies who had three OF
five hundred miles would not consent to it,
George ID. Spencer arose AMI INDUCED in
certain personalities which we hardly
think worth publishing AT the present
rate of tariff the Delaware and Hudson
canal company get 3 A. her ton per mile
and the other roads get only I cents per
ton per mile. The Delaware and Hudson
canal company's stock sells for III, Toledo
and Wabash sells for Ga.
Several persons present told how the
change in the tariff of July Goth had
affected them. II. w. Hughes had con-
tract for 400 squares, he had delivered
300 squares under that contract. Ii he
could get no relief the present tariff would
make n difference OF 40 cents per square
and he would lose over $500.
Mr.. II. l.. Williams had sent west quite
n number of car loads had 10 or 10 more
for but did not know as the par
ties would take them under the new tariff.
J. ii. Wiswell has orders for IL cars,
the raise in the freight will amount to
about $50 per car. He supposed that the
parties would look to him for tie differ
ence. He thought that had the tariff
Of July 90 continued to Nov. 10Th. that all
slate in Western Vermont
would have been cleaned out. A promi-
nent slate man from Ohio told him day
Or two before that if that tariff had con-
tinued the balance of this season and next
year they would cover every farmers
house in Ohio with slate.
S. 4. Hooker said mat gentleman from
Ohio wrote him to know if the reduction
Of July Goth would furnish him slate
cheaper, and if it would he would take 600
squares. He was one of the heaviest slate
lealers in Pennsylvania.
On motion of Barnes Frisbie the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Delaware and Hudson canal
did promulgate. on the goth OF July,
1874, tariff for freights on slate from the YER
mont and New York quarrles to points west OF
Buffalo; and,
WHEREAS, This association by vote at pre-
vlous meeting, acknowledged the receipt OF that
tariff with thanks, and pledged themselves to
extra exertions In securing sales In the west;
and
WHEREAS, They have under said tariff made
propositions that have led to very large con-
tracts to deliver slate at various points In the
western states, only portion of which has yet
been shipped; and,
have, by an order issued through their
station agents on the Goth OF August, notifying
shippers of slate that the tariffs OF July Goth
would terminate from that date; therefore, be
It .as1 ~
Resoired, That In the opinion of the members
OF this association, had the tariff OF July Goth
continued until the LIST day of November, the
slate yards OF Vermont and New York would
have been completely closed out of all mercan-
tariff by the Delaware and Hudson Canal
we not only ind that we cannot make
further sales at western points, but that
the contracts thus far made and yet to be
delivered has placed us in a position where.
by we must lose heavily unless the Della.
ware Hudson canal company Will carry the
slate that has been contracted to be delivered
since the goth of July, at the rates then set
FORTH
Resolved, That In the opinion OF this asSocia-
ton. looking at the matter In fair business
view, the Delaware and Hudson canal company
ought to allow all slate that has been contract
ed to be delivered at prices based on their July
goth tariff on that tarlf, and we respectfully
urge that company to instruct their agents to
assist the producers TO carry out their contracts
In this way
On melton The association adjourned
two weeks at the same time and place
