United States Senator Wafnei Miller while rid
fp on the New-Nofk Genital hailfoad
recently, said rlnncing at tain
which waq speeding along on Tho West
Shore Railroad: "rhc building Of that roal was
mistake. OF course, my noghbors IN the Mohawk
Valley don't thuk So because they now can travel
and send their freight at lower rates But even
tualy they will have 10 pay for that road. II
won't be merely the stock and bondhodcrs who
will lose money. There arc two railroads now in
the valley where only needed. If the
Central had beel loft alone ii would have provided
all the freight and passenger Transportation needed
at far less price than in the future, will hc
charged by both the West Shore and the Central.
There never was greater error IN state policy
than the passaJe Of the General Railroad
oct permitting any person H. build railroad
wherever they might choose, by merely mug an
snnouncemeui OF iteir irteDtion with the Srcre,
tary of State and rsispg certain auount Of
