Disclose to meet the statutory require
ments.
AT the present time our judgment
Is that the situation Is not yet sufh-
GENTLY crystallized to warrant the al
lowance of these fun rates. What
constitutes a reasonable rate apple
able to all cases is not capable of
definite statement. Territorial cir
cumstances, transportation charac-
teristics, financial requirements, are
to De considered. A rate that might
be reasonable in a territory marked
by long hauls and the absence of
grades, through sparsely populated
area, might be unreasonable IN a ter
ritory like New England of precipi-
tate grades, populated areas, short
hauls, water competition ard other
features contributing 10 high expense

and lihelee cohabited in this State
lihelant resided in this State when

ever been faithful to his marriage
obligations, but that the said libelee
has been unmindful of the same:
that on the 18th day of August 1914
she utterly deserted the libelapt
without reasonable cause and has
continued said desertion for three
consecutive years next prior to the
