RY Will II. STANLEY,
The secretaries of the state beard Of

The secretaries Of the state beard Of
Transportation met at their rooms liz
lincoln last Thursday to. consider the
question of a further reduction OF
freight rates. 1t will be remembered
by Journal readers that the hoard
ordered, the Elkhorn to make a lori-
xontal cut of 33as per cent. which the
road did not fully comply with, giving
only a reduction of from 20 to 30 per
cont. This still hangs fire. and the
hoard will next month ask the supreme
court to force the road to comply with
the order. Now the board is consider
ing a further reduction amounting.
it Is asserted, to something like % per
cent. The action is ebasea on recent
reductions in rates which have taken
place from the east to. the Missouri
river, and the determinations i'll favor
OF Fremont and Lincoln against ot!ae,
Interior points. The state hoard he
lieves that the rest of the state is
entitled to reductions as well 9,
Missouri points and these places, and
consequently the board was called to
meet yesterday, December 18th II
consider and adopt a new tariff shee1
for the different roads in the state to
conform to the reduction made in inter
state rates. The clerk of the hoar{
vas instructed to notify the diff@re"'
