Officials Testify on Pullman Berths and Car Use
Testimony from William Hough shows 3904 of 4750 available Pullman cars in service last year with per car costs of 1906 for operations and 2426 for maintenance. He notes a 332000 loss from unusable sleeping cars and a 3 million appropriation to cover future losses, warning railroad withdrawals could leave cars idle. The session probes contracts with railroads, including a 20-year term with six month withdrawal rights, as Pennsylvania's clause. The account closes with a temperance meeting note and names of local reciters and speakers.
