Commissioner Fifer, announced its decision
in the case Of Ulrick and Williams against

Railway Company, and the Cleveland. Gin

count of rates on ice from Ht!lsdale and
other points in Michigan, which, prior to Sep
tember 8. 1901. were higher over the lines Of
the defendants roads for the shorter dis
distance to Columbus. the rates to both
