EXPLAINS PANAMA TOLLS
Freight Rates for Canal Are
Discussed interestingly in
HaSkin'S Book.

Unless one is careful to inform him
SELF he may easily become confused In
discussing the rates of toll on the PAN
ANA canal. The law fixes the rate at
sI.2O per net register ton. Now II n1uet
not be assumed that this Is q rate OF
$40 per ton Of freight. AS q matter OF
fact there Is TO specific rate for al
actual ton of freight a net register ton
is the amount Of cargo required to an
a hundred cubic feet of space.
1t is apparent. therefore. that sewing
machines will cost a great deal more fog
ton of actual weight than pig iron. and
crates OF hats win cost much more than
crates of citrus fruits. OF some COM
modities two and half tons Of cargo
can be carried In a hundred cubic feet
Of space, while Of others only one ton
can be carried. The average Is around
two tons of merchandise for each ton OF
space, so that the rate viii average
around 80 cents for each ton OF cargo
that passes through the canal

ON this whole tonnage question, you VIII
