Fall River Mills Reach Terms With Boston & Maine Road
A personal letter from an active participant in the debate over through freight rates reports that the Boston & Maine road will not charge per diem for delayed cars until six days after shunting to sidings. After six days, 20 cents daily and $1 per extra car apply if unloading lags. Mills along the line expect to unload within six days or pay the railroads’ charges, aiding a withdrawal of protests. The piece notes potential siding work, terminal improvements, and help from the Pennsylvania road to use old rates and boat transport if needed.
