The railway commission has grant
ed the application Of the state rail-

This is for the purpose OF helping
out the car shortage situation. The
Increase is 81 for the first day, 50 for
the second. 50 for the third and SIS
e day after that. These charges will
follow two days of clear time.
The general tenor Of the case
made by the railways today was that
permission to increase demurrage
rates granted them in eastern states
has helped reduce the car shortage,
as cars are used for storage under a
low rate and cleared under a higher
one.
