NEBRASKA FIXES new
MOTOR TRUCK RATES

An interesting experiment which
may disclose significant facts in the
operation of motor transportation lines
has been undertaken in Eastern Ne
braska by the Nebraska State Railway
commission.
Acting under authority vested in
them, the commission has placed truck
operation on a road basis making classi-
fications for various types Of goods car

fications maintained by the Western
The rates provide for a motor truck
schedule within a radius Of 60 miles.
Fouf classifications are provided for in
these rates between points not within
the same city or village in Eastern
Nebraska. The minimum charge for
first-class commodities is Is cents per
100 pounds in addition to which a
charge Of one and a half cents is made
for each mile-secoRd class rates are
IS per cent on this figure-third class
rates are 20 per cent and fourth class

'One OF the best examples is the
stretch between Cleveland and Akron.
Over this 45-mile reach in Northern
Ohio, about 1000 tons of freight pass

Central Kansas the traffic in a certain
locality has been so heavy that trucks
have been equipped with flanges which
enable the vehicles to run on railroad

Munich in History.

With the history of Munich the
name Louis is inseparable. 1t was
Louis the Severe who, in the thir-
teenth century, gave the city a start
by living there, and Emperor Louis,
the Bavarian, next in succession, who
built the first city wall. The city
owes it's beginning to Duke Henry the
Lion. who established a mint there In
1853 and built bridge across the
Isar so he might levy toll on the salt
from springs of Reichenhall and
neighboring villages. The city occu~
pies the site of the ancient monastery
Tegernsee, hence it's name (munichen,
the monk).
