Exceptions having been taken
by the railroads interested to the
wording OF our original Detroit

construction might occur to their
disadvantage, they ask that we
make our wording more definite.

sue was TO warn receivers that
they must not expect team track
deliveries OF other roads than
those getting the final haul into
Detroit.
The Pere Marquette railroad
wishes to emphasize the fact that
II will make all private track sid
ings free. and only exempt public
team track deliveries OF the Grand
Trunk and the Michigan Central
railroads.
Detroit q Toledo Shore line
wishes II known that II Is a sub
sidiary road of the Grand Trunk
and Is, therefore, entitled to the
same usage OF the Grand Trunk
tracks as the Grand Trunk itself
enjoys, both to team track and
public sidings.
II also advises that II Is able
to make team and private track
deliveries free Of charge TO ship
pers upon the Detroit Terminal
railroad and Detroit Manufacture
ers' railroad.
The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad wishes Il known
that II makes team track and pri-
vate side deliveries free on all
railroads In Detroit with the ex-
ception Of the Grand Trunk. This
includes the Detroit Terminal rail-
road and the Detroit Manufacture
ers' railroad.
The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
railway advises In a very strenu-
GUS letter, that its position In De-
troit as regarding switching privl-
lodges has not been clearly stated

troit with the exception OF the
