Brown, general traffic manager and
Eugene Fox, general passenger and
freight agent of the Ell Paso & South
western road. Mr.. Brown stated that
the Southwestern would not see any
Arizona towns receiving better rates
than the towns it serves. He also
stated that the Southwestern would
make the reduction in rates asked at
the Phoenix hearing, although his road
was not made a party in that applica-
ton.
He was asked why the freight rate
between FL Paso and Bisbee was the
same as between the Missouri river
and FL Paso, and he said that the east
ern roads had a general producing
country to draw from on ever five
miles of track, while the Southwestern
has 200 miles Of road without a pro-
ducing station.
Mr. Fox stated that the Southwest
ern passenger traffic between FL Paso
and Bisbee is not productive OF any
profit and one train is run at loss.
