Noolllc VI Iue cuts are very material.
For instance, the old rate of from so

mile haul has been reduced to fiat
rate of As cents, while the charges for
short shipments. less than 50 miles
have been cut from a 40 to 6O-cen:
basis to the fiat rate of As cents. The
old rate of from so to IS cents per hun
dred weight on 50-mile hauls has been
knocked down to a fiat ra-e Of so
cents, while 55-mile hauls are reduced
from so to 80 cents rates to a fiat
charge of 50 cents. On express weigh
Ing less than 100 pounds the reductions
average % per cent.
Hereafter a distance rate will be good
only for IS miles. For instance the
charge of 40 cents per hundred weight
for a distance of IS miles and under
80 cannot be extended so as to carry
40 or so miles as has been the custom
In the past when it was considered
advisable. This clause will make dis
elimination impossible, as the charges
must be made on a mileage basis.

to the subtreasury in the ordinary
course of business, saw an oppor-
t,,nity to snatch a fortune with little
prospect of trouble and took advan.
tage of it.
Armed with an ordinary ruler, he
reached through the netting and
knocked small package from the
desk to the floor, where it was with
in easy reach because of the three
