former TO the latter corporation for
car service enjoyed by the railroad
in 1852. The railroad COM

the general expenses OF the csr com
pany Is the nun Der # cars on the line

ing the adjustmeT on this basis the
Pullman c6mpan, charged the rail-

claiming that n this was a pro-rate
the amount received by the Pullman
company from all roads which it Op
Grated on would amount to the enor-
nous sun of 81 ,21s, IS per annum,
which it claims is a palpably untrue
statement of expenses. What inter
ests the public is the fact that it only
costs the Pullman company S25 p per
