Attorneys for the Richmond, Fred- | ericksburg & Potomac Railroad, which is owned by five important carriers, will confer here soon to decide whether to | ask the United States Supreme Court for a review of the Interstate Com- merce Commission’s method of valuing the line. ‘The court reversed the commission in the O'Fallon case, holding that it must consider reproduction costs in valuing railroads for rate making and recapture purposes.
