For the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the subject, the following directions are given for the computation of rates from the Classification and Tariff of the Commission, contained in this volume. This can best be done by an actual example:-Take for instance, a shipment of dry goods weighing 500 pounds, from Savannah to Tennille, Ga. Tennille being on the line of the Central of Georgia Railway, we turn to the distance tables of that company, page 371, where the distance from Savannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. Turning to page 323, a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found, the Central being in Class C; and on the opposite page, 322, we find that on several classes of freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent. to rates shown in the Standard Tariff. Now turn to the Classification, which begins on page 328 (arranged in alphabetical order), and under the head of "D" it will be seen that Dry Goods are in first-class. Turn to the Standard Tariff, page 324, and follow down the first column, which shows the miles. There being no distance of 135 shown, the next highest distance governs; and opposite 140 miles, in the next column (this being the column for firstclass), the rate is seen to be 57 cents per 100 pounds. The road being allowed to add 25 per cent. to this class, and 25 per cent. of 57 cents being 14 cents, we find by adding the 57 and 14 together, that the maximum rate is 71 cents per 100 pounds or on the 500-pound shipment, $3.55. DIRECTIONS TO AGENTS REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF JOINT RATES. Rule No. 27 provides that the maximum charge on a shipment which moves between two points, both located in the State of Georgia, but not located on the same road, shall be 90 per cent. of the sum of the local rates allowed to be charged by the roads handling the freight. To illustrate, on a shipment of freight, taking 1st class, the rate from Fairburn, Ga., to Covington, Ga., (on the Georgia R. R.), will be arrived at as follows, viz.: Take the A. & W. P. rate for 1st class, Fairburn to Atlanta, which is 20c.; to this add the Georgia R. R. rate from Atlanta to Covington (41 miles), which will be found to be 27c., making 47c. From this 10 per cent. must be deducted; 10 per |
