River Toll Plan Draws Protests
Cincinnati reports protests over a proposed toll plan for inland waterways. Ohio Valley Improvement Association President C Slack Barrett argues tolls would raise transportation costs and should apply to ocean harbors and the Great Lakes. He says railroads benefit from water transport and inland tolls would not aid consumers. He notes barge rates are lower and railroads suffer revenue losses, while federal upkeep of waterways poses no railroad threat.
