Lincoln newspaper man comment |
ing on the visit of two representatives
of the Norfolk Commercial club to
Lincoln said: Norfolk wants to be
on the map. To that end representa-
tives of the Norfolk Commercial club
visited Rate Clerk Powell, of the state
railway commission, with a view to
finding out what rates other towns of
similar size have and what Norfolk
might have to do to get the same
rates. At present Norfolk has nothing
better than a fourth class distributing
rate. The in-rates are moderately sat
isfactory on large shipments but will
not allow the establishment of job
bling houses that require both favor
able in and out-rates to do business.
For the smaller consumer Norfolk is
well situated at present. 1t is made
terminal for Sioux City rates and
the Sioux City short line rate has
been made the maximum from both
Omaha and Lincoln, Norfolk from this
arrangement enjoying the advantages
arising to the consumer from such
competition"
