Legal files, 1947-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122475382

Legal documents, court case briefs and reports, correspondence, notes, and memoranda documenting Spellacy Motor Cargo's (Ibar M. Spellacy) application to the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse Commission to operate as an "emergency motor carrier" for the Great Northern and the Minneapolis and St. Louis railways in order to provide highway transportation along certain Minnesota and interstate routes. The applications were contested by various independent motor carriers and their associations which led to several regulatory commission and court cases in the state of Minnesota. The files document the advent of motor carrier hauls of LCL (less-than-carload) railroad freight as an integral part of railroad transportation services, and related legal problems.
