The marvellous increase in the number

to gunners it at the same time enables
practically all classes to purchase these

(The State Dec. 22)

AS intimatcd recently the State
railroad commission has promulga ed
its own demurrage rules. This
means that the State commission
will herccforth denl only with the
railroads themselves in mattcrs of
demurrage and does not IN any way
recognize tho Car Service Association
and its rules and regulations. The
State at the time matters were
brought'to focus rs to this associa-
tion gave all the facts. Since thon
the local commission has heard from
other State commissions along the
line of ruling the association out Of
those St:tcs. In this State further
action is considered likely before
spring.
Below is the circular promulgated
yesterday and forwarded to the sew
eral railroad lines:
The railroads are hereby an
thorized to operate the following
demurrago rules within this State:
DEMURRAGE RULES
Rule |. 1.--Freight subject to car
service charges. ALL freight in cars,
whether full car load or not, shirrcd
to one consignoe and taking track
delivery is subject to car service re,
gulations.
Rule 2,--The railroad companies
shall give prompt notice by mail or
otherwise to consgueo Of the arrival
Of goods, together with the weight
and amount Of freight charges due
thereon; and when the goods, or
freight of any kind in car load
quantities arrive, said notice must
contain letters or initials of the ear,
number Of the car, net weight
and the amount Of frrght charges
duo on the same. Storage and
demurruge charges may be az
sessed if goods are not removed in
conformity with the following rules
and regulations. No storage or
demurrage charges, however, shall,
in any case, be allowed unless legal
notice, of the arrival Of goods has
been given to the owner or consignce
thereof by the railroad company.
Rule 3.-Legal notice referred to
N these rules may be either actual
or constructive. Where the COLI
signee is personally served with no
tice of the arrival of freight, free
time begins at 10 o'clock q. III. on the
day after such notice has been given.
