Messrs. Caldwell and Pearson. DR.. Alb
bolt declined to vote, saying he thought
the present office conveniently located
and he wanted to put the telegraph com
pany to as little expense as possible.
Mr.. Pearson said it might be conve-
niently located. but there could be no
good service as long as the office is CON
nected with the railroad. Mr.. Caldwell
also thought this the best course, as it
VISA evident to him that new operator
was absolutely necessary, and hte evil
dence showed that the company was
making enough to pay for the change.
The complaint of T. W. Andrews, of
Charlotte against the Seaboard Air
Line. for failure to connect with the
Southern afternoon train from Colds
bOro. was dismissed.
Mr.. Andrew had another complaint
before the commission, claiming that
the Western Union Telegraph Company
had charged him forty cents for Il mes
sage from Mt. Olive to Gibson. The
case was continued on promise of the
telegraph company to investigate and
correct any errors.
The Seab0ard Air Line was granted
permission to transport barrels and
boxes of contributions to Orphanages
and other charitable Institutions free of
charge, also to give Il rebate on build
ing material for certain churches and
factories
DIR. Abbott proposed an amendment to
the rules of the Car Service Association.
giving agents discretion in certain cases
in regard to charging demurrage on I'M
loaded cars.
Judge MacRac read the rules of the
Car Service Association of North Caro-
lira covering the very points of DR..
Ahbott's resolution and stated that the
railroads would in every case refund
any unjust charge. The resolution. he
said, opened the door for determinations
and favOritiSm.
DIR. Abbott withdrew the resolution
Chairman Caldwell here called atten-
ton to the fact that the Southern EX-
press Company is carrying out the order
of the commission that it shall pay the
war tax, only in part. 1t pays in ON
State express. but on goods going out
of the State the shipper is required to
pay it.
Il, for one. am prepared to serve no
tice on them that if they don't stop cvad-
ing the law in this manner we will rcct-
fly the evil by reducing their rates in
the State" added Mr.. Caldwell.
DIR. Abbott and Mr.. Pearson thought
it wouldn't be exactly right and proper
to give this as Il reason for reducing
the rates; though, they added, their
sympathies were with the sentiment ex-
pressed.
Clerk Brown was directed to invite
Division Superintendent W. ]. Croswell
to be present at the next meeting to be
heard on this matter
