~ Senator Butler introduced in the
Senate of West Virginia juint resolu-
ton ins,ructing the board Of public
works to regulate rates of transportation
of freight and passengers on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railway within this
State. The Senator claims that under
the net of the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia of 1887, whenever the net profits
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
equals the amount of the capital stock
of such corporation, the board of public
works shall thereafter regulate the
charge on such road so that the profits
shall not net over per cent. on the
capital stock. Should this resolution be
adopted by both branches of the Legis-
lature it will decrease the rate for
freight transportation to one cent per
ton per mile.
