Virginia churchman case prompts rate appeal in court
In a Virginia coverage, Attorney-General William A. Anderson appeals the State Corporation Commission decision upholding a two cent intercity passenger rate. The case cites the Michigan railroad ruling and the Legislature’s authority to set interim rates before a formal schedule is issued. The commission has summoned railroads to November to justify the order. Also noted are discussions on criminality prevention via surgical operations and Henrico county plans to issue 800000 in bonds for 100 miles of roads.
