tons, in one of which the weights are
taken each year.
The pay is graduated, the ratio de-
creasing as the weight increases.
On roads carrying over $4,000 pounds
a day the pay is 1924 a ton per
mile. Between 5000 and $4,000 lbs.
the rate is $2O.3O a ton, and below
5000 pounds it is still higher. Ad-
ditional compensation is paid to the
roads for large cars with a mial
space of over forty feet.
For long time: the railroads have
been endeavoringsto have the meth
cd Of weighing the mails changed,
so tha at the compensation will be fix
ed annually,. instead Of every four
years. In the west. they say, the
amount of mail carried will increase
by a large amount during the four
year period. In many cases the heavy
mail of a magazine, for instance, has
been transferred from one road to an.
other .by- a change in the location OF
the publishing Office, so that one road
has been paid for business 1t did not
handle while another road carried the
additional weight fee.
