Exceptions Up to Commission.

Except in such instances as the COM
mission may grant permission TO the

the longer haul. the roads Will be re-
quired precisely to conform TO the law
provision.
To what extent compliance with the

determining accurately. because that
will depend largely upon the volume oi
traffic. which is variable quantity.
While some rates ON long hauis VIII be
increased the fares on the shorter hauis
to intermediate points will be reduced
materially i'll a great majority OF m
stances. 1t is provided that no inter
