Show RAILROADS OBSTRUCT WATER ROUTES. The commissioner of corporations in a special report gives the public some light on the question why our water routes of transportation transporta-tion in this country are not better developed. The railroads, he says, which want the traffic for themselves, do all they can to discourage dis-courage water transportation. Especially there is a lack of co-operation between the water lines and the railroads largely control the water terminals and they see to it that the water traffic is not allowed to thrivo, the report says. |
