Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Control by Commissions Massachusetts has been that of the best means of control under the best circumstances. One could scarcely understand the commission system of the United States from the experience of the several State commissions and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Apart from the fact that many of the ideas which the pioneer state in railway regulation gave to the country were borrowed in turn from England and Continental Europe, a just appreciation of the importance of the circumstances and the surroundings in which the means of regu lation operates is impossible without a knowledge of the various solutions of railroad questions under different political conditions. Comparison and contrast of motives and actions is the only effect ive way of learning. Oi inconsistencies of con trol the history of railway regulation in Europe is full.

This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888 The power to order through rates, on application, which had been placed in the Act of 1873 as an extension of the facilities clause of the Act of 1854, had authorized the Commission to act only When application was made by a railway or by a canal company. The Act of 1888 ex tended this jurisdiction by empowering' the Commission to receive an application from a trader as well. In every possible way the fact was emphasized that the Commission was a court, and therefore no concerned with rate-making. The control of matters pertaining to rates was divided. Powers in regard to conciliation of rate difficulties were given to the Board of Trade. When the provision placing the revision of maxima and of classi fication in the hands of the Board of Trade was under consideration, an amendment to place such revision in the hands of the Commission was negatived.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Annual Report on the Statistics of Railways in the United States to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the Year Ending June 30, 1890 It is not wise to draw conclusions without adequate study, but the thought suggested by the above summary is that uniform rules for the control of railways, should those rules proceed beyond general princi pies of universal application, would be of doubtful utility, and it further suggests the necessity of statistical investigation into the economy of railway management and the conditions of railway competition, more comprehensive and more minute than any that has yet been undertaken.

Download or read book The Nationalisation of Railways Classic Reprint written by George James Wardle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nationalisation of Railways No country has ever been able to adopt entirely the principle of laisser faire 1n regard to railways. In all countries control of some kind exists, ranging from a Commission with no compelling force behind it except public opinion (as in' America, to that'of absolute ownership. In the United Kingdom we have so far steered a middle course. The genius for compromise, so characteristically British, has produced our present hybrid system - a system which is neither logical nor effective. So gingerly have we treated the problems involved - the transport of goods, the carriage of passengers, and the employment of an army of workpeople - that it is safe to say that never was there more profound dissatisfaction amongst shareholders, traders, travellers, and workers than exists at the present time. Magazines and newspapers have given vent to the dissatisfaction of shareholders, traders, and travellers threats of strike and disruption have been the mode of expressionof the workers. This general dissatisfaction is well grounded. The burden of capital grows ever greater, dividends are declining, the legitimate demands of traders are ignored, and the railway worker finds himself unable to keep pace with the progress of other workmen in the improvement Of his conditions.

Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transport Committee broadly welcomes the European Commission's 4th Railway Package but believes it focuses too much on liberalising the railway in domestic markets at the expense of important measures to improve cross-border freight and passenger services. The Committee recommends the UK Government should actively negotiate to ensure: joint working between Network Rail and train operators is not prohibited or unduly restricted; metro and light rail systems are not affected by the proposals to separate infrastructure and service operators; the UK's arrangements for letting train franchises are not challenged. In addition, MPs are concerned about: governance arrangements for Eurotunnel; the maximum annual threshold proposed for rail franchises, which could prevent UK companies bidding for work in other EU countries; and the possibility that the EU may become responsible for specifying the content of public transport plans: these should remain the responsibility of national or local governments.
Download or read book Electrical News 1920 Vol 29 written by W. R. Carr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-27 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical News, 1920, Vol. 29: Generation, Transmission and Application of Electricity The final solution of this traction problem will not be found in any franchise granted by the city council. No mat ter what its terms may be. The experience of the majority of the other states Of the Union clearly points to the one logical thing to do, and that is to place traction companies under the control of a state public utilities commission. Minnesota already has a railway and warehouse commis sion that could be given enlarged powers to supervise the traction companies of the state. The records of our neigh bor state, Wisconsin, and many others who have followed this plan, proves conclusively that this method of handling public utilities is far superior to that of municipal control. The situation in Minnesota. With Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth served by one traction corporation, makes it especially desirable to utilize this state commission plan. This will do away with all local franchise granted by city councils and will give the greatest assurance for adequate service. The city councils lay their demands before the state commissions and the traction companies present their side of the case, and this judicial commission employs the services of the very best engineers and auditors, and their decisions are usually in the best interests of the public.
