tons on the Bangor & Aroostook and
other points in Maine and New Eng
land. The local rates between sta
tions on the Bangor & Aroostook
We're also increased The effective
date of the new rates was made June
/, 1921. 1t appears that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on the
31st day of May, 1921, suspended the
proposed interstate express rates for
a period until Sept. %, 1921, pending
hearing and investigation. 1t is I'M
derstood that a hearing is to be held
at Boston on July 25, before EXamin-
er Satterfield of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The increased rates, in so far as
traffic handed entirely within the
State o. Maine is concerned, became
effective on June /. 1921, and this
commission did not learn of the sus-
pension of the rates by the Interstate
Commerce Commission until about
June 10. and at that time we realized
that the difference between the in
terstate and intrastate rates would
result in favor of Boston and other
points outside the state Realizing
this, we telegra phed the vice presi-
dent of the American Railway Ex-
press Co. at New York, asking if his
company would not consent to a sus-
pension Of the intrastate rates, pend
ing investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. He declined,
however, to favor a suspension and
under our statutes the only course
open was for this commission to serve
notice of hearing. This notice was
issued by the commission on June IT,
but 20 days is required in such no
tice of hearing and therefore the
commission expects to have a hearing
on the rate matters at it's office in
Augusta, about July l."
