Nevada Protests High Rail Rates on Wool and Other Goods
Nevada public service commission and Reno Chamber of Commerce prepare briefs for an interstate hearing in San Francisco on August 12 to challenge proposed long and short haul rail rates. The dispute covers wool shipments to the East and other cargo including sugar oranges canned goods and dried fruits with hearings planned in multiple western cities. The commission argues San Francisco as the shipping point creates inequitable competition with eastern carriers and cites rate differentials for various commodities.
