Railroads Denied
Right to Increase
Their Sand Rates
(From a SAD Correspondent.)

LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 1s.-(Speclal)-
Representatives of the Burlington,
Northwestern, Rock Island, Union Pa
cifIc and Missouri Pacific railroads, who
applied to the State Railway commission
for permission to raise rates on sand
from various pits which they serve to
South Omaha, Omaha and Lincoln, have
been denied their request. An increase
Of from III cents per hundredwelght to
2 cents per hundredweight was asked by
the roads concerned.
Freight agents who testified before the
commission during the time that the mat
ter was under advisement declared that
the 1h-cent rate existing at the present
time was hardly compensatory and that
in some cases of short hauls the receipts
did not justify the expenditures Of carry
ing the sand.
in the order denying tho request the
commission sets out that. taking into
account the value of the commodity, the
tonnage moved 10 the points named and
that claims are rarely presented or paid
and that the tracks serving the sand pits
are usually constructed by the shippers
themselves, the petition could not con-
slstently be granted. Further" reads
The order, when it is taken into con-
sideration that the applicants are carry
ing this commodity ON their lines at
many points in other states where the
traffic is heavy at as low or lower rates
than are now in effect to the points OF
South Omaha, Omaha and Lincoln and
that they are carrying many other COM
modlties of greater value at an equal
or less earning per ton per mile, the
prayer OF the petitioners should not be
| granted"
