Blair Athol coal export freight reduction debated in Parliament

The discussion in Parliament House in February 1925 centers on reducing railway freight charges for Blair Athol coal intended for export. Correspondence to Mr Larcombe and ministerial replies outline a special rate of 31 shillings per mile for Blair Athol coal, with excess freight charges covered by the Railway Department. The move aims to boost coal export trade and compare favorably with other companies and Mine Management groups.
