About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Thirty-Second Annual Convention of the Master Car Builders' Association: Held at Saratoga, New York, June 15, 16 and 17, 1898

Members of the Convention, - We are fortunate in having with us today a gentleman who represents the department of our State gov ernment charged with the supervision and control Of the railways. The maintenance of equitable relations between the transportation companies and the public is properly a subject of State concern, and when the laws and regulations are framed with a due regard for the public welfare, without abridging the just privileges of the railways, and where the authorities in whose hands this supervisory power is lodged are mindful of the mutuality of interests subsisting between such corporations and the people, the exercise of such control is altogether salutary. I am sure that this view is sustained by those who have given the subject the most careful consideration. That the gentleman who is now to address us has administered the affairs Of his office on these lines is a matter of public record. It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Chairman of the Board of Railroad Commissioners of the State of New York, Col. Ashley W. Cole.
