Railroads Press Tax Board Over Two-Cent Fare
F B Carpenter for Nickelplate argues Ohio operations under the two-cent fare law fail to boost passenger traffic, citing 1,010,000 riders pre law versus 778,000 last year and $60,000 lower passenger earnings. He urges assessment cut to 25,000 dollars per mile citing high repair costs for old cars and limited gains from passenger business. Other speakers request fair treatment and lower valuations for Indiana roads and for the Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge Company property, deeming replacement cost far below assessed value.
