A few weeks ago the board of railroad
with the railroad companies of the state for
double decking cars for the shipment of
Sheep charging for a dOubls-deCE shipment
% per cent. IN addition to the singl6-deCk
rate, and requiring the shipper to put in the
extra deck. This extra deck would cost
from IS to $40. The board, in response to
a request from the Union Pacific Railway
company, have issued the following opinion
relative to dOuble-dechng sheep cars: 1t
appears that the recent decision Of the board
is not fully satisfactory peCting the meth
cd Of providing dOuble-dscks for cars for
sheep shipments. That instead of al
lowing or requiring the shipper to provide
the deck and put 1t in the car at his own sL-
pense and upon his own responsibility, your
company prefers itself too prepare the cars
for double deck shipments, charging the
shipper s. per car for the deck and putting
the same in ready for use. You PrOspOse to
supply yourself with a sufficient number Of
ready-mGde decks to meet all demands, and
keep the same at convenient points ready
for use whenever called for by shippers. The
board has duly considered your proposition
and 1t meets their approval. We estimate
that the material for the deck would cost the
shipper from s. to IS per car and not less
than 81 to put 1t in. In most cases after
I being used 1t would be thrown aside and lost
and the best disposition that could be made
of il after being once used in the car would
not bring the cost of the deck TO the shipper
If he put In by him, below the sum at which
the company now proposes to furnish il.
1t would obviously be sometimes IuconVeni-
emit for the shipper to supply the decks him
self, either from the lack of appropriate
material at the locality OF shipment or the
delay or inability to always get q carpenter
promptly to perform the labor.
