A Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard delegation told the Public Service Commission that current passenger fares hurt business along the Boston to Cape Cod line. They claimed southeastern Massachusetts faces discrimination in summer rates and urged reductions to restore travel and tourism.
The hearing follows a House order to investigate railroad charges affecting named points. Herbert M. Chase of Oak Bluffs led a delegation complaining rate hikes threaten summer hotel business, noting Boston to Oak Bluffs round trip rose from $2.60 to $3.70. Representative Albert Holway of Bourne blamed service quality, not rates, for the woes.
Townspeople pressed for restoring the Cape train that formerly left Boston at 4 30 p m and for the Provincetown morning train to stop at Bourne and Bournedale. Local leaders argued for reduced rates while Oak Bluffs residents split on stopping Oak Bluffs boats at Vineyard Haven. The New Haven official cited low old rates and no business drop, and the Public Service Commission chair said laws require removing discriminatory rates but cannot force summer resort fare cuts. The commission took the matter under advisement.
