Railroad Commission Again Trying to
Classify Them.
Austin, Texas November 1.-THE railroad
commission is trying TO reach conclusion
as to the disposition Of the so-called log
gage and tram railroad In East Texas.
Judge Reagan today requested his broth
err commissioners to prepare a statement
setting forth their views on the subject,
and by that means the commission may
reach final agreement. Commissioner
Story is OF the opinion that the roads which
are not chartered are entitled to nothing,
while those that are must he compelled
to do their fun duty as a common carrier,
or have their charter forfeited CO-s+si s.
Sioncr Mayheld does not recognize them as
railroads in any sense OF the word and
holds they should not be allowed any prlvi-
leEcs Whatever in the division of freight
rates. With these different views, It looks
as II Judge Reagan viii have to settle the
controversy himself.

ira charge Of % cents for transportation
across the bridge and that an extra barge
was also made for freight crossing the
bridge Tho practice was attacked by the
railroad commissioners and suit brought
