We all find a good deal Of comfort in

A Remedy for the Car Shortage.
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chlcago Dally News.
Under pressSre Of necessity. the rail-
roads are coming forward with practical
suggestions for the relief of the serious
car shortage. a spokesman for tine rail-
roads gave the Illinois public utilities
commission yesterday one explanation for
the shortage and suggested one important
remedial measure. His suggestion was
that the demurrage charges be raised.
Shippers are now allowed to retain cars
two days for unloading without extra
charge. After the expiration of the two
DAYS. however, each shipper must pay
the railroad a denur!age charge of 81 a
day for each car. The revenue collected
by the railroads of the United States on
account of demurrage during the last ifs
cal year was &. 657 81. That Is to say. dur
ing the year 1851. 23s cars in effect were
retained three days by shippers before
they were unloaded.
The difference between prompt release
OF cars and tardy release is serious. When
cars are scarce because OF heavy shipment
demands two days ought to afford ample
time for their unloading. According to the
calculations OF experts. an average Of 50, O0O
cars a day would have been relieved from
demuvrage for actual transportation use
