THE CUBA R E \' I E W

AGAINST THE RAILROAD COMMISSION 



An appeal has been taken to the Su- 

 preme Court against the decision of the 

 Railroad Commission declaring null the 

 contracts for rebates for the carrying of 

 cane products made in 100-i between the 

 owners of the Perseverancia, Covadonga 

 and other mills in Santa Clara Province 

 and the Cuban Central Railway Company. 



This action was taken on motion of the 

 railroad company, which claims that the 

 rebates will no longer be granted, as be- 

 ing prejudicial to the financial interests 

 of the road. 



It appears, however, that but two mem- 

 bers of the railroad commission signed 

 the decision, and the law provides that it 

 must be three. 



The Central Cuba Sugar Company, of 

 New York City, organized to carrj^ on 

 business in agriculture, mining and manu- 

 facturing of all kinds in Cuba, was in- 

 corporated ]May 23d at Albany, X. Y., with 

 a capital of $5,000,000. The directors are 

 Frederick R. Swift, Eearl C. Demoss, 

 William Lilly, Thomas Achenbach and 

 Ross W. Lynn, of New York. 



The road has offered the heirs of Emilio 

 Terry $4,000,000 cash for the sugar mill 

 Caracas, the estates pertaining thereto, the 

 railroad and warehouses in Cienfuegos. 



The heirs have made a counter proposi- 

 tion asking $4,500,000 after the crop of 

 1911-12 is harvested, and giving the com- 

 pany two months in which to decide.
