Steamship toll exemption may loosely affect coast lines
The plan would barely alter steamship lines between the two sea boards. Only owners or lessees shipping full cargoes profit from the toll exemption. Most shippers pay the same rates regardless of tolls. Rates will be set by carrier agreements based on what traffic can bear, not cost. Schedules stay steady, aligned with rail and eastern connections. Exemption would amount to a subsidy equal to tolls not collected.
