Railroad Divorce Blocked by Massachusetts Legislature
The railroad committee blocked Governor Walsh's divorce plan for the Boston and Maine from the New Haven, voting a sub committee to retain the state’s stock rights and bar a people’s referendum. The committee favored keeping the stock with conditions, while Governor Walsh opposed as clouding title. The act of 1909 defines Commonwealth rights, with hearings on compensation and safeguards against stock returning to New Haven interests. The session also dealt with tax on stock transfers, a half holiday for Saturday, and various appropriation and representation measures.
