Petition for Lower Freight Rates Across Pecos Valley
The Commercial Club of Roswell and allied New Mexico business groups petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for fair non discriminatory freight rates on Pecos Valley lines. They cite the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe system and affiliates as monopoly carriers, detailing how elevated rates burden ranchers merchants and farmers from Roswell Hagerman Artesia Carlsbad and nearby communities and hinder irrigation driven development of the Pecos Valley. They seek rate reform and through routes to Texas and Colorado markets with supported historical context of settlement and irrigation growth.
