Eastern Shore Steamship new route shows shorter distance and time
An appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission cites a table by the Eastern Shore Development Steamship Company comparing Washington to St Michaels and Cambridge routes. The old routes via Baltimore or Pennsylvania Railroad are slower and costlier, while the new Annapolis route halves distances and reduces time and fare. The B C A Railway Company refuses through tickets, prompting national regulatory action. Public health moves to end common drinking cups in Maryland public places, with strict enforcement and a special agent. A banker forecasts at least 100 million investment in Mexico by European capitalists as stability returns under President Madero, spanning mining, railroads, and new enterprises.
