Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Railway Library and Statistics
State?regulation of railways, it stands unsurpassed in the litera ture of railways. It is as authoritative to-day as when writ ten, except where conditions and the law itself have been changed.
Supplementing the Views of Judge Cooley, written in the twilight days of regulation, the Railway Library for 1911 presents recent utterances of Chairman Prouty and Com missioner Lane of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Judge Knapp of the Court of Commerce, for many years chairman of the Commission, which bring the discus sion from the official regulators' point of View down to date.
The report of the Securities Commission appointed by President Taft, and headed by President Hadley of Yale, naturally finds space in the Library for 1911, as of the high est contemporaneous interest. The report of Professor Swain, the engineer in charge of the valuation of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad, should be read in connection with the Hadley report.
