Transportation Conditions

 Ontario Fruit Growers' Association 



Last season the commodity rates on all 

 rail shipments of apples to the western mar- 

 ket applied only for carloads. This season 

 the tariff will provide for less carloads, and 

 the rates be reduced accordingly. For in- 

 stance, the Winnipeg class rate per 100 lbs, 

 for less carload is 11.08, the new commodity 

 rate is $1.02 in bags or boxes, and 81c in 

 barrels. To other principal points the L. 

 C, L. rate will be as follows: —

An allowance of 13.00 per refrigerator car, 

 in which the shipper placed a slatted floor to 

 protect the shipment, was made last season 

 by the Railways, under an order of the Board 

 of Railway Commissioners. It has been 

 stated by several shippers, that the Railway 

 Companies charged freight on the weight of 

 these floors. If your records show this has 

 been done, Icindly send me particulars, as 

 an application will shortly be made for an 

 allowance of 1,000 lbs. off the carload weight 

 for these floors, if it can be shown the charge 

 is being made. 



Under present tariffs if a shipper loads 

 vegetables in a car with fruit for points east 

 of Port Arthur, he must either pay the less 

 carload rate on the vegetables and the car- 

 load rate on the fruit, or pay third class 

 rate, minimum 20,000 lbs., on the fruit and 

 vegetables. Although there has never been 

 a tariff permitting the mixing of these com- 

 modities for Ontario points, at the fruit rate, 

 the privilege was allowed till last season. 

 Vegetables are classified first class for L, 

 C. L, and eighth class for C. L. No other 

 commodity bears so great a raise on the Li. 

 C. L. shipments. An application is therefore 

 being prepared to be submitted to the Rail- 

 way Commission, asking for an order to 

 meet the wish of the fruit shippers. In sup- 

 port of this application we will want evi- 

 dence to show that it is really required. 

 Can you furnish such? 



In the matter of express claims, sub. sec. 

 (k) of sec. 5 of the terms and conditions of 

 merchandise receipt form reads: "The 

 company shall not be liable for any damage 

 or partial loss, or shortage, unless written 

 notice thereof is given at any office of the 

 Company within thirty days from delivery." 

 It is important that claims be filed promptly. 

 According to a recent court decision a ship- 

 per suing a carrier for loss or damage to a 

 shipment has the burden of proving that he 

 presented his claim to the carrier within the 

 time fixed by the bill of lading, but it has 

 also been decided that a common carrier 

 may not, by special contract, exempt Itself 

 from or evade its common law liability for 

 the consequences of its own negligence or 

 that of its agents. The safest way, is to 

 make claims promptly, and decide later if 

 you want to press them.
