ance with their application and that OF
various shippers the operation OF all tar

eral advance in lntrastate rates, lie sus-
pended and that the effective dates there
" are postponed until March 10. 1914
Recently the roads operating In Yer
mont filed with the public service COM
mission general advance in rates for
intrastate traffic which was to become
effective to-day, and desiring a hearing
on the matter of advance. followed with
an application to the public service com
mission which was received with another
from several large shippers that the rates

Tho following roads in Vermont are
effected by to-days order: Boston &
Maine, Dola ware & Hudson Railway COM
pany, Montpelier & Wells River Railroad
company. Rutland Railroad company.

The Interstate tariffs ana supplements
thereto are found by the commission to
be in accordance with certain interstate
tariffs and supplements now under sus-
pension by order 933 OF the interstate com.
merce commission until March 10. lsh.
This action on the part of tho public

vision: 1T Is further ordered That
