THE TWO.CENT GRAIN RATE.


Not long ago some of the merchants in
this city held meeting for the purpose of
protesting against the iwo-cenl charge,
which is made by the Illinois Central rail
road company in this city on all grain un-
loaded from cars on track. Since'ths first
meeting there has been no other, at least
50 far rs known, and it is not known what
the answer the attorney consulted by com
mittee appointed at the first meeting was !;
nor is it probable that anything further will
be done in the matter. Yet some informa.
ton upon this point would not be amiss,
and this is contained in letter, recently
written to Mr. John II. Oberly, of the
Bloomington Bulletin, by Mr.. John
Moses, secretary Of the railroad and ware
house commission. The letter is as follows
SPRINGFIELD ILL.,, Feb. 6, 1889.
Hon. John ii. Obery, Editor BULLETIN,
Bloomington, Ill.
DEAR SIR: In your daily of yesterday
you say:
"The railroad and warehouse commission.
ers explain their grain rates IN the follow
ing note.
The rates given on grain apply on bulk
grain loaded and unloaded by shippers, and
at their expense through elevators or grain
warehouses.
Grain loaded from wagons or otherwise
than from elevators or grain warehouses
will be charged one cent per hundred
pounds in addition to rate for transporta.
ton, for detention of cars.
All sack grain and mill stuifs IN car
loads unoaded into the company's freight
Gepots, and all grain unloadod from cars on
track will be charged two cents per hun.
dred pounds in addition to the rate of trans.
portation.
The above is an error. This commits
sion has adopted no such rules On the
contrary when similar rules " explanations
were submitted to the board by leading
road OF the state the board disapproved
them, using the following language:
1t is observed that you add one cent per
hundred pounds to the commissioners rate
on grain TO cover cost of receiving al
place of shipment 1t is the opinion OF
the commission that this additional charge
is not permitted by the law, and it canno,
be sanctioned by the board.
In the classification printed with your
tariff 1t is stated, that the rate on all grain
delivered from cars on track will be tive
cents per 100 pounds above the rate given
in the table.
Your attention is respectfully called tc
sec. 1903 RS. 1877, which provides that an,
consignee or person entitled to receive the
delivery Of grain transported in bulk b,
any railroad, shall have twcnty.four hours
free Of expenses, after actual notice of ar
rival by the corporation of the consignee
in which to remove the same from the carr
Of such railroad corporation, il he shall de
sire to receive II from the carson the track
From this clause in the section of tn,
law referred to 1t is clear that any consigne,
of grain has the right to receive and unoat
grain from cars on track without any extrl
charge, if done within twenty-four hours
And therefore, this commission must de
cline to approve that addition TO th,
schedule rule made In your Classification,
Yours Truly,
( JOHN MossE, Secretary.
