|, B. NICKERSON FREIGHT AGENT
 HAS PROMO TON
Ccontfnued from Page D 7

From business where the freight was contracted for by the road an- nuaIly from such shops as the Howe Sewing Machine plant, Pacific Iron Works, Sharps Rifle company and the 4Hotchkiss company, big tariff books today control the rates and enormous freight yards occupy the South, East and West Ends.
 The one-man regime has gone and in the place of Nickerson, James Vance, Andy Garfield, conductor, the three who at one time had full charge of the business, hundreds of men and score of supervising officials now actuate the shipments that come from New York and Boston as through business. ''
 s The present change will relieve Agent Nickerson of the detail work of the office and his intimate knowledge of affairs will be placed directly at the disposal of shippers with a view to- wards eliminating the congested con dition of freight which has resulted from a 50 per cent. increase in the company's business during the past two years. While the year 1912 showed slump in freight no such devolop- ment as has been seen in the past year was ever remotely anticipated.
 From knowledge of the company's activities possessed in the records it may be said that the company's policy in 1907-S in acquiring the dock prop critics along the harbor, rather than accepting the suggestions made by Superintendent M. Sheppard and ac- quiring the old parallel right of ways through the city has reacted a boomerang and left them with freight yards far from the shippers.
 This defect will now be remedied as far possible and 1t is believed that the efforts of MT. Nickerson will go far towards concluding shippers, during the reconstruction period that is about to be begun in this city.
