The Board of Railroad Commissioners respectfully submits its Twenty-ninth Annual Report.
MASSACHUSETTS RAILROAD CORPORATIONS.
Forty-eight railroad corporations, whose roads are located wholly or in part within the limits of this State, have made the annual returns required by law for the year ending June 30, 1897.
The Chester & Becket, a new corporation organized under the provisions of chapter 112 of the Public Statutes, having substantially completed its road, which is practically a branch of the Boston & Albany, has made its first return and is added to the list of companies.
The Martha's Vineyard, a narrow-gauge railroad, not having been operated the past, year, and being in a ruinous and abandoned condition, apparently without responsible corporate or private ownership or control, has been dropped from the list.
The Worcester Shrewsbury, also a narrow-gauge road, having been leased to the Worcester Consolidated Street Railway Company and made a part of the system of that company, has been transferred from the railroad to the street railway list.
This makes the number of railroad corporations one less than in the last report.
The Fall River was consolidated September 30, 1896, with the Old Colony, but has made a return for the three months of the fiscal year up to the date of consolidation.
During the year the Milford, Franklin & Providence and the Milford & Woonsocket have been severally leased to the New England for terms of five years from April 1, 1897, and the lease of the Norwich & Worcester to the New England has been materially amended in some of its provisions.
