Good Year For L. E. and Y Figures Attributed To Record Earnings
The Lake Erie and Western reports its best year in history with freight earnings $437,000 above 1902 and passenger earnings about $100,000 higher. A similar rise is expected in December, with 1,000 freight cars added last year and another 1,000 planned, plus possible new passenger equipment. Trolley competition may force rate cuts in the future. An Interstate Commerce Commission hearing on export tariffs highlighted railroads arguing against publishing prefiled tariffs due to volatile port rates and competition among steamship lines.
