FREIGHT RATE
! CASE RE0PENED
Hearing viii Determine Proper
Charges For Intrastate
Shipments

Railroad traffic experts, repre-
senting the cities of the state as we'll
as the railroads, are here for the re.
opening this afternoon of the intra-
state freight rate case involving dis
tributing rates from Fargo, Grand
Forks, Jamestown and other cities.
The case was decided several
months ago after lengthy hearing.
At that time the state railroad
board ordered the railroads to re-.
move discrimination existing in rates
from Fargo to certain points in the
south-central part Of the state, as
compared with rates from James,
town to the same points. jamestown
interests contended that rates from
Fargo were much lower for the same
mileage.
The railroads removed the alleged
discrimination by increasing the
rates from Fargo and protest was
made against this practice. The rates
proposed by the railroads were sus-
pended and today's hearing is in
tended to supply evidence to deter.
mine what the distributing rates
should be. The railroad board is en-
pected to make definite rate sched-
ulc when it decides the case.
The previous case was reopcncd,
rather than an entirely new case
started, because the railroad board
wishes to prevent duplication of
testimony which already is available
in the previous record.
