Figure 7. Rates charged by independent routes in the Connecticut valley 

 and independents in the Merrimack-Coastal region, and by independents in 

 the Merrimack-Coastal region, and distributors in the Merrimack-Coastal re-

June, 1937.'" 



resented iu all three main groups and recourse has been made to two 

 comparisons: first, independents in the Connecticut valley and in the 

 Merrimack-Coastal region ; second, independents in the Merrimack- 

 Coastal region and distributors in the same region. 



The results of these comparisons are presented in Figure 7, which 

 shows the average charges of routes similar in length and volume. Rates 

 tended to be higher on similar independent routes in the Merrimack- 

 Coastal region than iu the Connecticut valley, and rates of distributors' 

 routes in the Merrimack-Coastal region tended not only to be much 

 higher than rates on independent routes in the Connecticut valley, but 

 also to be higher than independent routes iu the Merrimack-Coastal re- 

 gion. The average differential of independent routes in the Merrimack- 

 Coastal region over independent routes in the Connecticut valley was 

 4.62 cents per hundredweight. Distributors' routes when compared 

 with independent routes in the Merrimack-Coastal region averaged 1.31 

 cents per hundredweight higher. This latter difference would have 

 averaged 5.88 cents had one extreme observation been omitted. 



While the comparison of routes similar in volume and length in 

 Figure 7 presents the difference in charges paid by farmers served 

 by different types of operators in different sections of the state, it maj'' 

 not present a summary picture as well as that contained in Figure 



See Appendix Table V for data upon which this graph is based.
