Memorandum of investigation of alleged illegal practices by the Ann Arbor Railroad Company and others at Toledo, Ohio, August 14th and 15th, 1906.
A memorandum from an investigation taking place in Toledo, Ohio, August 14 and 15, 1906, detailing the investigation of illegal practices by railroad companies. Since 1897, the Toledo Ice & Coal Company has been unfairly benefiting from free or discounted rates on the transportation of materials, the shipment of ice, and tourist railroad tickets from the Ann Arbor Railroad Company. Many of the stockholders of the Toledo Ice & Coal Company are employees of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company. The Toledo Ice & Coal Company also undercut its competitors and sold ice to hospitals at a discounted rate far below the legal published rate for ice shipments. The Pere Marquette Railroad Company similarly provided favors to an individual in Milford, Michigan.
