Railway Commissioners Asked To Supply Information On Alberta Coal Haul
The provinces of Ontario and Alberta request the Board of Railway Commissioners supply figures on the out of pocket cost per ton to haul Alberta coal to Ontario in 1978. J Earl Lawson argues the temporary rate of 4.759% per ton should be tested to set a fair long term rate, noting a 1928 order set Alberta coal at 6.75 a ton under board supervision. The provinces say existing cost statements miss out of pocket costs and overprice coal versus average traffic.
