Freight Agent Moore, of the Rome and Watertown
Railroad were examined. No facts of public interest
regarding freight determinations were elected.
Special rates given to all large shippers and the
companies stated that they aimed to mako these
rates as uniform M possible.
President Averill was examined at length concern
ing the passenger tariff of four cents per mile
charged by his road lie stated that the officers of
the company desired to reduce the rate to three
cents just as soon M the road could be made to pay
He said unjust taxation in many instances was a
great source of trouble to the company. lie was
aware that Assessors often Disseminated against
support this statement. lie thought the road was
managed well. yet after taking out interest paid on
bonds, tho expenses last year were considerably
more than the receipts.
Ogdensburg Railroad also unjustly taxed in
many towns through which IL passed.
Chairman Hepburn has called u meeting of the
committee. to be held in Rochester Friday next.
