After remaining in consultation for some
time, committee composed Of Messrs. A.
G. Haskell, John G. Haskell, w. H. Braw-
ley, R. r. Bridgers, Sol. Haas and J. IL.
Rion, proceeded to the State-House and
called on the railroad commissioners. Com
missioners Bonham and Walker were pres
ent, Commissioner Duncan not having yet
qualified. The railroad officials made a
strong appeal to the commission for an eX-
tension Of the time allowed them to file re-
quests for modification Of the commits
sion's new standard tariff. The limit al
lowed by the commission for the presenta-
ton of such requests was July 10th The
members Of the delegation argued for some
time in support of their request. Some
wanted three weeks extension and some a
month. The sentiment of the commission
was that the arguments for an extension
of time were strong. They requested the
committee to put their request in writing,
stating the reasons therefor, and the COM
mittee left for that purpose.
The committee of railroad men did not
complete their written request until to-
night, and it has not yet reached the COM
mission. 1t asks for thirty days from date
to make applications for exemptions from
the standard tariff. The commission, upon
the affirmation of the railroad managers that
necessary researches and calculations in less
time, will allow the roads until about AL
gust 1st for this purpose. While the COM
mission is anxious to avoid delay, the rea-
sons adduced were tool pressing to be ignored.
The railroad men filled the gaps of the day
by comparing their rates with those Of the
commission. Some were found higher and
some lower. They could not estimate the
average reduction. The conference between
the commission and the roads was devoid
of acerbity and was quite amiable.-C0r.
