BEST IN HISTORY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-Trans.
portation history during the current
year. has been marked by unequal
ed performance" Of railroad service,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion declared today III its annual
report.
With an unprecedented volume
OF traffic to handle, carriers almost
eliminated car shortage, the report
said, and kept equipment service
able to an unusual extent, 1t was
added that at the same time gener-
al charges placed upon the public
for service were decreased.
THE effect during the calendar
year 1928 of rate reduction made
in 1922 will be to lessen the total
freight transportation charges paid
by the shipping public my more
than 100000 the report said.
I'VE have referred to the stabili-
zation Of rates as one of the more
important needs of commerce, and
have not made any further gener-
al Investigations Of rates during the
present year. But the year has con
tinued to be one OF transition and
establishments of rates, largely by
reductions"
No recommendation for new
legislation were made in the report,
though considerable attention was
given to describing the work OF
controlling security issues, and IL
cfeasing safety inspection efforts,
as required by more recently enact
ed laws.
1t was ALSO revealed that for the
first time the government had OBJ
tanned some revenue from the re
capture" clause of the Transports
ton act. Through the carriers
making the payments were not
named. it was said that Is railroads
which earned more than an amount
equivalent to six per cent on the
estimated value of the property
used by them in transportation sery-
ice bod paid over to the Commits
sion half Of such excess earnings,
or approximately $4,000, which
is now held by the Treasury. The
vaIidily Of the law is still being
contested in the courts, the report
pointed out, and in consequence the
money was paid under protests by
the CORPORATIONS concerned.
