Toll Regulator Action Delayed Over West Virginia Bridge Case
The West Virginia Public Service Commission toll and service regulation case involving the Harper’s Ferry and Potomac Bridge Company was postponed to October 4 in Charleston. The dispute centers on interstate bridge rates and state authority, with potential appeal to federal courts to avoid state regulation. Data on dividends and net income for 1930 show Harper’s Ferry reporting a 160 percent dividend and a 74 percent return on depreciated cost, alongside other bridges with high dividends and profits.
