N. E. Roads Want
to boost freight
ana Passenger Rates

Boston. Feb. 26-.fhe governors Of
the New England states after a con-
ference with the railroad executives
Of this section at which the latter
proposed q 10 per- cent. increase in
passenger and freight rates, today
decided to appoint q committee from
Ecach state to examine into the con-
dition of the roads. The officials or
the latter announced that unless
assistance in this form. or another
was Forthcoming shortly several lines
would become insolvent
The proposed increaDe would be
effective until Feb. %. 1922. and
would affect all passenger and
freight revenues except those for the
coal and coke traffic, switching
charges and export and import traffic
where the latter is in competition
with other ports and mail and ex-
press fees. The two latter sources
Of revenue are now the subject of
research which when finished is to
be made the basis of a request for
higher rates.
The other exceptions are proposed
as a means of preventing undue in
crease in the price of necessities and
OF meeting competition. The rail-
road executives told the governors
that the increases proposed were
estimated to produce sd, QUU, 600 adj
ditional revenue this year--$9. &c.,
0O0 passenger; $S.0O0,OOO freight
within New England and S6,OUO.UUU
on freight croBsiiig the Hudson river
on interchange with trunk dimes. Be-
cause OF a shrinkage in traffic since
the estimates were mado~it was said
today that a sum now expected from
such an advance would be nearer to
$lS.OOO.0O0 d year.
The result of the conference which
was called by the railroad heads and
attended by all the governors of
New England was announced in a
statement by Governor Cox.
1T was agreed that the governors
OF each OF the New England stateD
would appoint citizens committee
of five to examine into the condi-
tons of the New England railroads."
he said. This committee Of citi-
zens is to be appointed without de-
lay and to begin its work immediate
ly upon appointment. The commit
tees from each state will meet in
Boston for preliminary meeting, in
all probability within the next 10
days. When the committee has con-
cluded it's investigation it will make
such recommendations as 1t sees fit"
The statement was given out by
Governor Cox from the University
club to which the governors had
aone as his guests at luncheon after
the conference with railroad officials
at the State House.
In presenting the proposal to the
governors Vice President Edward G.
auckland of the New Haven railroad
said the increases sought would not
be effective on the Bangor & Aroos-
took railroad, nor would the advance
proposed in passenger fares apply to
the main lines of the Boston & AL
bany railroad, which is under lease
to the New York Central. General
exceptions to the advance would be
made also in mail and express rates
for the present, in switching charges
and in coal and coke revenues, but
milk shipments would be included in
the higher tariffs sought. he said.
