Ogdensburg Directors Hit Low Freight Tariff Strategy

Directors argue Ogdensburg can haul freight cheaper than rival New York roads due to low grades and easy curves though profits rely on current rates. For year ending March 31 63,568 tons passed through and 50,202 tons were local. They expect local earnings to rise with Prescott and Bytown line progress and new lake routes. Beginning October last, Ogdensburg earnings through June 1 show $53,437 ahead of prior year, with $20,138 gain in May.
