the right to make certain charges to
and from Grafton, and another charge
to and from Grafton. to or from any
point on the Parkersburg Branch,
which is only restricted by the pre-
scribed maximum rate in the act OF
1887 of eight cents per ton per mile
upon all articles, except gypsum and
lime, and in the case OF passengers the
rate is not to exceed six cents per mile
for each person.
Notwithstanding the clear right to
charge the rates named upon the Par
kersburg Branch, it has been determin-
ed in q most liberal spirit to adopt for
the present the system Of tariffs govern
ing the Baltimore and Ohio Company
to the Parkersburg Branch, although
it must be admitted that the total ab-
sence Of net earnings, or more properly
the immense losses made on this branch
by the Baltimore and Ohio Company
as shown by its operations for many
years, cannot be regarded as justifiying
this course. But the company is now
attempting this experiment, which. il is
hoped, may result favorsbly and thus
more rapidly develop the resources OF
the region traversed By the Parkersburg
Branch road.
Should these anticipations not be
realized, the company will be obliged
to avail Of its chartered privileges and
advance the rates on its Parkersburg
Branch road to more remunerative
standard.
In am, with great respect, your obe-
dient servant, JOHN King, Jr.,
Vice President.
