Great Bridge Free to All in Interstate Case
Attorney General Isyers argued before the interstate commerce commission in Washington for the board of railroad commissioners of Jows in a case against the Dunleith & Dubuque Bridge Company and several railroads. The question is whether the Dubuque bridge should be free and open though owned by a bridge company, with Illinois Central owning most stock. The state contends the bridge is effectively owned by the railroad and that passengers and freight should pass without high rental. The original cost and 40 years of maintenance totaled about 2 771 000 dollars, while shippers and travelers paid about 5 000 000 in bridge tolls.
