OTHER VIEW POINTS

Some Of the New England lines
years ago were in a chronic state of
blockade until the first organization
for demurrage collections in New
England was started in 1892 by the
lines centering in Providence with the
main office here. This was the be-
ginning of the car service association
which later embraced all New Eng
land. The move in a large measure
stopped the practice of freighters OBJ
tanning free warehouse privileges by
using the railroad tracks and cars.
If every consignee will do his full
duty now in removing his freight the
roads which are suffering from con-
gestion of traffic will be greatly aid
ed in restoring normal conditions and
giving the service for the public that
is looked for. - Providence Bulletin.
