Y. & T. R. R. CITED BEFORE
RAILROAD COMMISSION
Merchants ask for Reduction on all
Freight Rates son Local Road

On the Goth of this month there Is
to be meeting held before the Rail
road Commission that is Of consider
able importance to the people OF this
community This is case of the
merchants asking for a reduction OF
commodity rates over the Y. & T. R
r. The complaint is signed by the
Meyers Mercantile Company and Ed
J. Wlash, in which they pray for a re-
duction on all rates as now establish
ed, coal and wood are named espec-
tally.
Some months ago the Appeal cited
the issue The fact that the local
road is receiving 81 per ton for haul
ing coal from Reno to this city, dis
tance OF - miles, seems beyond rea-
SON. In other words, the sum of 500
for a tifty-ton car is collected.
Wood is even higher, the rate reach
ing nearly S3 per cord, while the
charge on lumber IS excessive in ev-
cry instance.
The complaint as filed asks the
Railroad Commission to make reduc-
tions in all such cases. The fact that
the local road is charging rates such
as went into effect many years ago
when there was every reason to be
lieve that the people could stand the
strain. and that there has been prac-
t cally no rduction since that time has
made the merchants take notice.
Lumber is one OF the items that
should be taken up by the Commis-
