Annual Report of Michigan Railroad Commissioner
The 1805 report by Simeon R. Billings notes 97 miles of new lines in Michigan, 15 new maps approved totaling 207 miles, two roads reclaimed from receivers, and one receiver appointed. Michigan operated 7,405 miles of track across 80 companies, with 69 in general rail business, seven for forest and mining transport, and two for transfers and two for terminals. The report criticizes private mining and logging lines for tax avoidance, urges under the general railroad law, and calls for uniform passenger pricing. It records no passenger deaths from rail accidents, but two deaths due to self-negligence, and condemns a ticketing rule as discriminatory. It recommends one uniform price per class of service and lowering prices to match capacity.
