TWO DIVISIONS
OF TAP LINES
Those Which Are Industrial
Facilities and Which Are
Common Carriers

washington. June LIN a supple
mental decision of the so-called tap
line case" announced today. the in
terstate commerce commission holds
that forty of the lines which it names
perform transportation service for
which they are entitled to receive
compensation out of the through
rates. twenty-five tap lines consid-
cred by the commission are held to
be merely plant facilities and not
entitled either to switching allow
anees or division of rates.
Thus the commission tap lines into
two classes, those which are purely
industrial facilities and those which
may be considered as common car
riers OF those thus far passed up.
on: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT today and
thirty-six on April 23-are in the first
class and forty in the second.
1t is expected that certain indi-
vidual tap lines which are held to be
not common carriers will appeal to
the commerce court and eventually
II necessary. to the supreme court.
