The Seaboard Air Line yesterday filed
bond for $1,000 in It's appeal from tho
new fertilizer rate order This means
that the Seaboard will maintain tho old
rate pending the hearing Of the apDeal
The appeal is to the Superior Court
and the bond Is to secure repayment OF
the overcharsc to shippers in case tho
railroad loses its case. and Is finally
compelled to put in force the new ana
lower rate.

ments and the amounts paid. so that
when the court sustains the new rate.
as 1t probably WILL they can send in
claim for the excess of the old rate
paid over the new rate. Unless this
rs done the shippers will receive no
thing at all.
