Railroad Consolidation Contest Sparks New Amendments

Concord railroad supporters push amendments to the Atherton bill affecting sections three and ten. The plan would allow a new corporation to lease lines for up to 99 years and then take on Northern, Concord & Claremont, Peterboro & Hillsboro railroads, with 6 percent rent and mortgage interest, plus taxes. A hearing on the Hazen bill revealed tariff practices showing cross-subsidies between Concord, Boston & Lowell, and Boston routes. A Tilton to Franklin charter proposal links Northern and Boston Concord & Montreal, signaling strategic traffic moves. The fight remains unsettled with both sides declaring legislative majorities, while a Lake Shore extension bill stirs further speculation.
