Local Shippers Win Rate Fight From Railroads
The Public Service Commission denied a joint rate request by the Chesapeake and Ohio and New York Central railroads for sand and gravel shipments from Huntington. Huntington and Charleston shippers, aided by the chamber of commerce, Advantage, and local builders, gain time to bid on materials for road construction. The commission criticized secret understandings, noting failures to provide statutory notice and calling out rate inequities affecting West Virginia Sand and Gravel and Hatfield Construction.
