Indiana Railroad Rates Inquiry to Probe Freight Charges
The Indiana Railroad Commission will commence a 4m investigation into freight rate levels and discrimination. A similar 1907 probe had no order in 1908. The inquiry seeks whether rates are excessive or unfair and if revision is needed. A petition seeks relief from an order and the line west of Indianapolis may adopt a block system. Citizens petition a new Hillsdale station.
