Dear Sir: The railroad and warehouse

complaints from country shippers Of wheat
to Minneapolis to the effect that grain

large quantities in the a~ggrcgateare thus ta-
ken rom cars while on track and waiting to
be unloaded. The loss has ONE to be aseri-
GUS one to the shipper and the commission
has been appealed to Tor relief. It is be-
lieved that this property OF the citizens Of
this state sent to Minneapolis for dispo-
| sition is entitled to some protection from
the police authorities OF that city. The
commission is OF opinion that IL the side
tracks containing loaded cars are proper
ly patroled and unauthorized persons thus
kept away from their vicinity the thieving
would be e~ffectually stopped. Therefore,
Resolved by the commission that the
State weighmaster at Minneapolis be di

commission Of Minneapolis. and that he be
| authorized to communicate to that body
