Case
Corporation Commission Sus-

Richmond, Va, May O.-The
State Corporation, Commission
has handed down its opinion in
the lime grinding rates. Some
time ago the Norfolk and West
ern agreed to make n special
low rate on agricultural lime
for the benefit Of the farmers of
the State. Several other roads
the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
Richmond Fredericksburg and

gave the same rates. These are
very low, being about 81 90 per
ton for distance of 100 miles.
When farmers in other parts of
the State asked the other roads.

the Norfolk and Western. The
rates are given in "a separate
statement made up for the com
mission by the expert of the de-
partment, and the opinion deals
with the subject of the effect of
