Haines, Henry Stevens. Railway corporations as public servants. **$1.50. Macmillan.
7–30619.
A work which to some extent is supplementary to the author’s previous discussion of “Restrictive railway legislation.” “The treatment of the subject is, however, more particularly directed to an amelioration of the existing relations between railway corporations and the public whom they serve.”
“Some of the statements in the book are more striking than true. This volume deals with a large number of topics in connection with railway management and the facilities afforded. While these are not handled in detail, they are presented in an attractive way that ought to stimulate the interest of the general reading public in the question of the efficiency of the American railway service under its present organization.” Ernest R. Dewsnup.
