It Is a popular thing to jump on'' corporations, and here in Connecticut the grumbler and croaker usually takes the Consolidated road as the great and only monstrous evil. Just now the patrons of the little Shepaug, which is controlled by the Consolidated, appear to be aggrieved over the freight rates, which are said to be high. What are the facts In this case? This road has never, as we understand, been a high paying venture. It runs through a sparsely settled country region, and on it's entire route does not touch any populous towns. For years the patrons of this road submitted to a five-cent per mile passenger tariff, under the old management, which was promptly re- duced without petition when the Con. solidated obtained control. It is very probable they will also reduce the freight tariff. AS before stated, this road has not been bonanza to it's owners, and were it not for the summer business, could scarcely be maintained. Under the Consolidated management the prop erty has been improved, the passenger rates reduced and the service improved. We believe In giving even great cor. poration it's just dues. Take our own Berkshire division, for another example. Where Is the candid minded man who will not say that the service has not been improved since the Consolidated obtained control? The freight and passenger rates have been reduced, and the train service on the whole, is better than under the old regime. And this has been the result whenever the Consoli. dated has taken control.
