but no estimate was made for .ad.
vertising or bookkeeping, which he
admitted were essential. The show
ing was made for 800 days in the
year.
The Ford Delivery company, In
coin, made a showing on l25-mile
trip made with a 3H-ton truck. The
trip was from Lincoln to Omaha
and return: Gasoline, $3.50; oil,
$l.20; labor, $lS; tires. $26; depre-
citation, 81; interest on, investment,
$l.l0; insurance and maintenance,
$3.50; overhead, s.; hotel bills,
$3.50; total, $3.50; cost per mile,
81 cents.
On a s0-mile trip with q two-ton
truck the cost was given as: Tires,
81; oil 81; gas, $50; depreciation,
1888; maintenance and cost of in
surance, $l.50; interest on invest
ment, 80c; labor, S.; overhead, $3.75;
total, $20.88; cost per mile, Al cents.
Fixing the Rate.
The matter of rates, according to
Commissioner Wilson, is one that
will have to be governed by the kind
of commodity in transportation.
Companies which have been operat-
ing have been charging from little
over one cent per 100 pounds per
mile, to two cents.
The commission therefore con-
structs the scale on basis of ter
minal and haulage rates, placing the
terminal at Is cents per 100 pounds
frst-class, and says:
"A terminal rate of IS cents and
haulage rate of one and one-half
cents per 100 pohnds per mile first
class, results in third-class rate of
approximately one and one one
fourth cents for 50-mile hauls. and
the scale will be constructed on that
basis, with the minimum charge per
shipment Of so cents.

Lincoln, May 23.-November II
1918, the Douglas county high.
ways transport committee Of Oma,
ha, organized by the Council Of
National Defense, applied to the
State Railway commission for ap-
proval of schedule OF rates for
motor truck transportation between
Omaha and points outside for a
distance Of 90 miles, applying west
ern railway classification, with some
exceptions.
In an opinion by Commissioner
Victor Wilson, in which the matter
OF overland transportation is gone
into, in part he says:
? 1T developed that applicant was
not engaged in the business and
that it was acting as the represen-
tative of carrier operating out of
Omaha, but pro bono publico' for
the most part. The prayer of the
committee was in effect that the
Commission make the necessary in
vestigation and establish all of the
requirements.
Hearing is Had. :.
Realizing that the issues under
the committees application were
not broad enough to support find
ings OF the character desired and
which the situation seems to re-
quire, the commission on February
70, 1919, adopted resolution of in
vestigation of the business of COM
mon carriers of goods, merchandise
and commodities for hire by means
of trucks or other vehicles used
upon public highways between
Omaha and other points in Ne

Commissioner Wilson calls atten-

experience running trucks for
transportation purposes as follows:
Figures on Cost.
Stallard of the highways commit
tee had operated a two-ton truck
for four months. The truck cost
$1,000, and the service life was esti-
mated at 10000 miles. The tires,
which were solid, cost $3.50 and
their life 5000 miles. Drivers
wages amounted to S. day, and
the daily haul was 90 miles with an
average load of 1000 pounds. Gaso-
line, lubricating oil, repairs and in
surande and loss and damage to
