INCREASE FREIGHT ON
SHIPMENTS OF ICE

The following letter was mailed
Yesterday TO all ice dealers in var
glnia by the state corporation COM
mission:
The United States railroad admins
tration proposes TO amend the CLASH
'f,cation on shipments OF Ice In less
than carload lots so as to read as fol-
lows:
ice packed in chaff. hay, sawdust.
or similar packing material, IN bags,
barrels or boxes prepaid, L. c. L.:
Is per cent higher than G. l."
This proposed change would elimi-
nate the provision in Virginia CLASH
ttcation providing for "ice in less than
carload lots, packed Tor in quantities
rot less than five tons, unpacked)
prepaid or guaranteed, rs per cent
higher than carload.
The effect is TO phohibit the ship
ment of ice in bags, unless enclosed
ii, chaff, 5awdust. hay or similar pack
Ing material and to eliminate the
shipment OF ice unpacked In lots OF
five tons or more. In other words. 1t
would require packing according to
specifications in all shipments OF less
than a carload. The claim Is made
that ice packed in bags without fur
tier protection melts very rapidly. so
that the water forming on the moor
OF the car damages other freight.
If you desire to make any statement
10 the state corporation commission
with reference to the proposed
change, please let us hear from you
al your earliest convenience, since
the matter must be disposed of very
soon.
