Baltimore and Ohio proposals promote manufacturing growth

President Robert Garrett issues a circular to boost local business along the Baltimore and Ohio system. Concessions include half-rate transport for household effects and building materials for manufacturing dwellings, free transport for families of first occupants, and favorable commutation rates for marketed goods. Stations and facilities expansion planned as settlements grow, with emphasis on suburban and small towns under 10,000 residents and notices sent to manufacturing and land building outfits to correspond with the railroad’s second vice president. Other rail lines report mixed earnings and evolving rate strategies, while belt-tightening and legal actions loom over government settlements.
