ON Rate BASIS WITH
CRANDFORKS
Revision Of lntrastate Class
/. Freight Schedules Ordered
by Railroad Board
OLD PREFERENCES REMOVED
Various Wholesale Distribution
Points on Par With Dis.
t, tributing Rates

Revision Of the general intrastate
class freight rates to place all dis
tributing points in North Dakota on
the ssme basis has been ordered by
the, state railroad board.
Preferences which were given some
cities under the old rates, notably
Fargo, Wahpeton and Grand Forks,
are removed by the new schedules and
the various wholesale distribution
points placed Oh par with regard to
wholesale distributing rates. Cities
mentioned as being on parity under
the new rate system are Bismarck,
Darlington. Devils Lake, Dickinson,
Drake, Fairmount, Fargo, Grand
Forks. Jamestown, Mandan, Max,
Minot. New Rockford. Oakes. Valley
City. Wahpeton and Williston.
The new rate schedules are to be-
come effective May 20. on not less
than three days notice to the board
and notice to the public by filing and
posting of tariffs in the regular man.
I1er and are to remain in effect until
further order of the board.
Must Post Tariffs
The order provides that single line
class rates shall be not less than
three days notice to the board and
notice to the public by the filing and
posting Of tariffs In the regular man
r1er and are to remain In effect until
further order of the board.
The order p" ,vidcS that single line
class rates shall be not in excess Of
80 per cent of the current single line
general distance class rates. Joint
rates will be made by adding the fol-
lowing arbitrs ries In cents per 100

Glass l. eight cents; class 2, seven
cents: class3, six cents; class
4 five cents: class and classifi-
cations A and B, three cents; classes
g and D, two cents; class E, one cent
Based on 1927 Conflicts
The decision was based on evidence
presented in 1927 during hearing
on all North Dakota intrastate
freight rates which was ordered to de-
terminc numerous apparent conflicts
which had been called to the attcn-
tion of the state railroad board
Among these were the contention o1
Jamestown distributors that Fargo
wholesalers were enjoying preferen-
tial rates; the claim of all North Da-
kota wholesalers that the intrastate
rate structure was higher than In
some adjoining states, and numerous
charges of discrimination in certain
cases or OH certain items.
Intrastate commodity rates were
fixed by the commission in an order
issued September 2, 1927. but action
on the class rates was held up be-
cause interstate class rates then were
pending before the interstate CON-
merce commission and western rail-
road commissions. At that time the
state board said 1t appeared probable
