Massachusetts railroad regulation in the Illinois experiment
The fifth annual report of the Massachusetts board of railroad commissioners surveys the rise of government role in rail transport. It compares American and British regulation, reviews Illinois shifts from legislative to executive supervision, and weighs Massachusetts partial state ownership as a future path. It notes competition limits, tariff complexity, and calls for cautious, nonpartisan policy guidance.
