The Toledo & Ann Arbor has with
drawn from the Michigan Car Service
Association. General Freight Agent
Leavenworth, OF the G.. X. & l., says in
regard to the move: at will effect
Grand Rapids little, If any. The roads
in the association allow buta given time
for loading or unloading, II step nee
essary TO prevent a car famine. The
Toledo people may profit by few cars
at competing points, but that is all.
The other roads have not decided what
course to pursue IN this matter, but
they may determine to allow shippers
all the time they want at the points
where the Toledo Il Ann Arbor road
compete, thus rendering that move OF
no tenetit to them. Or they may pos
sibly refuse to let their cars 90 to the
Toledo Il Ann Arbor people for use.
They haven't got any too many cars,
and that would bring them to terms.
| don't know what the Car Service AS
ISOLATION will do, but they are pretty
sure to bring the twisting road folks
up With short turn"
