gests Zones as Remedy.
Maine Grange Objects 10 Any
Increase on Fruit.
Assured Proposed Increase Would
Not Affect Agricultural Products.

Boston, Oct. ga zone system was
suggested by Interstate Commerce
Commission Charles A. Prouty as a
solution of the difficulty of increas-
ing freight rates on the Boston g.
Maine Railroad at the hearing in the
Federal building, today.
The commissioner suggested that
the territory served by the Boston &
Maine be divided into three zones,
varying according to the density of
the traffic, with Boston as the center.
As the cost of the service varied with
the density of the traffic, he said,
shippers in Boston were entitled to a
lower rate than those so miles from
Boston, where the traffic was lighter.
In turn shippers so miles from Boston
were entitled to a lower rate than
those 100 miles away. He said he
thought the Road might reasonably
ask for the increase it had specified
in its proposed schedule. in the terri
tory 100 miles from Boston, but he
thought the increase ought to be re-
duced somewhat at points nearer Bos-
ton and further modified within the
city.
Asked if he had any objection to
such a system, Vice President Benja-
replied that he saw none except that
it Disseminated between the shippers
in the three zones.
Commissioner Prouty said that the
shippers in the densely crowded cen
tiers were entitled to the benefit Of
the reduced cost of their service.
