from an order Of the public service
commission requiring il TO maintain
joint rates with the Syracuse and

from Syracuse, was filed by the Big
-Four railroad in the Marion circuit
court at Indianapolis. The Big

mand Tor such rates and the only
demand is that Of the Sandusky

net OF the cement factory from the
plant 70 Deeters. where delivery is

pany complained in its petition for
joint rates 20 the service commits
sion that the Big Four rate TO 9TH
er points in the state from Syracuse
is the same as il is from Deeters,
whereby its seven-mile haul to
Deeters avails il nothing.
The service commission decided
the Syracuse & Milford is a com
mon carrier. and therefore entitled
20 joint rates. The Big -Four con
tests this decision. declaring the
other road is = private line.
