Edwards Sees City Railway Valuation Fair Despite Depreciation
B E Edwards president of the La Crosse City Railway argues to a Tribune reporter that the state rate commission's valuation of the system is fair though depreciation figures differ. He says fares in La Crosse should not drop below five cents, the contract with the city protects rates, and the company has invested about 420000 beyond past horse car losses. He notes the commission’s appraisal and added improvements merit consideration and questions depreciation impact on earnings.
