Annotations to former section 16-296:
Cited. 148 C. 682. To justify fixing of identical rates for common and contract carriers, it must appear they are actually in competition and that competition is such as to reduce income of common carriers so that they are unable to maintain adequate and efficient service for public at large. 149 C. 483. A primary aim of contract carrier regulation is protection of common carrier by eliminating destructive competition but contract carriers, because of special nature of operations, may properly be accorded some rate advantage so long as it does not lend to destructive competition inconsistent with public interest.
