Atwater of New Britain, manager of transportation of e American Hardware Corp., testified before Ex- aminer John H.

Fears Loss of Boat Service Hartford would in all probably lose its boat service to New York if the New England Steamship Co. was divorced frfom the control of the New Haven road, William H. Corbin, president of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, testified Mr. Corbin said such a separation would be detrimental to Hartford nd to an area of 500 square miles around city. He took the stand sound lines committee | which entered the second day of its {steamship line each manufacturer knows what his | competitor is paying, whereas inde- pendent lines would file port to port rates and no one would know what the other fellow was paying. I can recall the time when the business of the firm by, whom I am employed was forwarded to New York by the all-rail route, the de- livery station at Manha being Pier 39 East River. It seldom, if ever, that our shipments were available in time to get them into our New York warehouse before 1 th 2:00 p. m Water Connections Better have the time when the has left Hartford 25 minutes late, and left Saybrook one hour late, this is the point where they | enter the sound. and this same boat arrived at the pier at New York s than 15 minutes behind sched- ule. This c e accounted for due to the fact that the boat can speed up their service through the sound which allows them for any delays which they m experience when they enter the East river, “The same conditions apply with the New Haven line, which route is vsed by shippers in Hartford and New Haven counties other those who use the Hartford line.
