Mile Exdctcd From
Railroad Company
NORTHEASTERN AND G. & s. !. GET
THAT FOR USE OF THEIR
TRACKS BY |. & N.

It costs the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company 81 per mile for
each train-freight or passenger
which 1t sends over the tracks Of the
New Orleans G Northeastern, and
over those of the Gulf & Ship Island
Railroad, while its own roadhed be-
tween the Crescent City and Gulf
port is being repaired.
That is the answer 10 the large
number of 'double-header" freight
trains, each carrying long string of
cars, which pass through Hattiesbury
every few hours.
The two railroad companies charge
the l.. & N. just as much per mile for
letting an engine and couple of box
cars pass over its tracks as it does
for solid Pullman train or 60-car
coal train.
No one mas figured how much in
tariff the L. & N. will pay the two
railroads for the use of their tracks
since the storm damaged its own, ne
cessitating coming through Hatties-
burg, but it will be well up. in the
thousands.
1t is understood that the 81 per
mile tariff is the rate generally charg-
ed by all railroads for the use of its
tracks.
1t costs the L. & N. s117 tariff
charges to bring a train from New
Orleans to Hattiesburg, and $40 to
send train from here to Gulfport.
In addition to this tariff, the L. &
N. must pay the wages OF pilot to ga
