Alabama public service commission by mail or in person any railroad or express company expense bill or re- ceipt showing charges paid for trans portation of any freight for the pur- pose of having same examined with respect to the correctness of weight, rates and charges indicated thereon. Upon receipt of any such expense bill or receipt, the commissio will make any such examination as Is necessary and If 1t is found that any such weights, rates or charges are incor- rect, the commission will order the express or railroad company to refund any over or excessive charges paid.
 The commission will charge only 10 per cent of the total money re- funded. We estimate that this charge will be sufficient only to cover the cost of the auditing. Any person may send his freight bills to the commis- sion with the full knowledge that the audit will cost him nothing if the bill is correct and that he will receive 90 per cent of the total amount found to be due him. Without this audit the total amount of the overcharge will be lost to the person or corpora tions paying the transportation charges.
 Tt is the desire of the commission not only to comply with the law, but to render a real service to the pub lie. The attention of all persons. firms and corporations Is invited to the fact that the commission has q department for the work, has already collected thousands of dollars since the department was started and will check all freight bills with the view nf nil nj ha nY charges. We urge that freight bills for the past six years be mailed to the commission and that persons to whose attention this matter comes tell business friends to take ad- vantage of the service. Any bills mailed to the Alabama public service commission at Montgomery will be audited promptly and report made ot any oVercharge."
