The Chesapeake & Chic Rate on fiay.

THE FORMER RATE OF FREIGHT RE
STORED.
A few days ago the VINDIcAToR on in
formation Of one of our most prominent
merchants. called attention to the fact that
the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Baltimore
q Ohio had advanced hay from the 9th
class to the 9Th class and we gave instances
OF the inequality with which those roads
made their charges Oh hay coming to Staun-
ton and hay going to the termini of the
two roads. The following correspondence
is the result:
OFFICE OF THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONER,
RICHMOND, JAM 30th, 1894.
Hon. Edoard Echols, Senate Chamber:
My Dear Sir.-Your letter Of the 9th inst,
with clipping from Staunton VINDICAToR i'll
reference to this matter is received, and beg
to advise will have prompt attention.
will advise you when the investigation is
completed.
Yours very truly,
JAS. Z. HILL,
Commissioner.
OFFICE oFTHE RAILROAD COMMISSIONER,
RICHMOND, Feb. 3rd, 1891.
Hon. Edtcard Eck0Is Senate Chamber.
My Dear Sir:-Referring further to this mat
ter my letter to you under date of the 30tll
ulto: l beg to advise that the G. & o. r. r.
Co. have restored the former rates on hay to
all points on their lines. The rate of 10 per
100 lbs. Staunton to Clifton Forge was reis-
sued on the 9th, and the special rate of s per
100 lbs to Charlottesville, on the goth ulto.
and to Richmond, Newport News and lamp
ton II per 100 lbs. These special rates not to
be exceeded to intermediate points, if any
shipments are offered.
The advances in the rates were caused by
change Oh Jan. 1st, from 9th to 18th class in
the Official Trunk Line Classification, which
is used by all the railroads in the United
States and Canada north Of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi Rivers, including among
the Virginia lines the Chesapeake & Chic,
Norfolk & Western, Baltimore G Ohio, r. f
& P, N. Y. p & n, and Pennsylvania roads,
You will observe therefore that the advance
has been general, and not confined to the Val
ley. This classification governs on shipments
from the West the principal competitor in
this territory in tile shipment Of hay, and as
these Western rates have been advanced by
the general change in the Classification the
Staunton shippers, at the present time by a |
continuation Of their old special rates, are
much more favorably placed to compete for
the trade than formerly.
Yours very truly,
JAS. e. HILL,
----- Commissioner.
