New Haven could handle traffic without boats
Lucius H. Kentfield, New Haven general freight agent, testified at ICC hearings that the railroad could absorb New England freight traffic if the Sound steamship lines were divested and would even increase volume. He said competition with Central Vermont was not admitted, noting joint rates were refused to protect New Haven boat traffic. He argued discriminatory rates were cleaned up since 1914 and joint rates exist with most Sound lines, while a public ownership advocate pushed for divestiture from New Haven control.
