Reed Bill Could Lower Fares Beyond Boston Area
If enacted the Reed bill would cut fares to many cities outside Boston such as Worcester Springfield Fall River New Bedford Taunton Brockton Attleboro Fitchburg Waltham Newburyport Lawrence and Lowell, while Boston and Greater Boston stay largely unchanged. The railroads oppose the measure as the Coulthurst plan for five cent suburban fares looms, with the Post tabulating 1899 rates versus Reed bill projections to show potential savings.

HONGER RIOT ON SNOWBOUND CARS HONGER RIOT ON SNOWBOUND CARS
Passengers aboard a Great Northern train stranded on the North Dakota prairies for four days endured extreme cold and near famine during a historic blizzard. An insistent riot over food occurred as first and second class passengers argued over who should be fed first. A conductor, engineer, and a telegraph operator improvised aid, surgeons arrived by snow plough, and a wounded man, Professor Colegrove of the University of Washington, was transported to St Paul. The perishing cold, hunger, and injuries frame a dramatic rescue amid persistent blizzard conditions.
