railroads is being held st the office OF Commits.
sioner Midgeley to-day for the purpose OF C IN
s'dertng a plan for charging different rates on
the various sizes Of cara. The railroads now
use cars varying from twenty-eight feet to
thirty-four feet. On cars below thirty feet 81
per cent. Of the tariff rate is charged, and the
regular tariff rate on cars above thirty feet.

sioners Midgeiey, Car.nsn, Farthorn and Rip
ley, have recommended a sliding scale.
