 schedule which would establish certain rules and charges for reicing perishables in 

 less-than-carload lots where water ice is used was filed with the Interstate Gonmierce 

 Oomniission on July 6 by the Railway Express Agency, Inc. Included would be fish and 

 shellfish L.G.L. express shipments. This schedule is identified as Supplement 31 to 

 Official Express Classification 34, Rule 23-C, and is identical to the schedule which 

 was considered in Interstate Commerce Coinmission Docket I & S 5804,— 'except that cer- 

 tain suggestions made by the Commission in its decision in that docket have now been 

 included in this schedule. The proposed charges would range from 20 cents to $2.70 

 for each package depending on the length of the haul and the net wei^t of the pack- 

 age. The charges apply and are billed automatically upon delivery of the shipment 

 to the carrier unless the shipment is marked "Do Not Reice for Account of Shipper. " 



The proposal is as follows:

 WATER ICE IN THE PACKAGES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY ICED BY CONSIGNOR

 IF SHIPMENTS CANNOT BE SUFFICIENTLY ICED BY CONSIGNOR TO REACH DES- 

 TINATION WITHOUT REICING TO PREVENT DETERIORATION, THE EXPRESS COM- 

 PANIES WILL PROVIDE INSPECTION, REICING, AND ICED WAY-REFRIGERATOR 

 CAR SERVICE AT CHARGES PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (l) WHICH WILL BE IN 

 ADDITION TO TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER CHARGES. THESE CHARGES WILL 

 APPLY ON ALL SHIPMENTS WITH WATER ICE IN THE PACKAGES TRANSPORTED 

 BETWEEN POINTS WHERE THE SCAL| NUMBER IS 7 OR HIGHER, EXCEPT SHIP-,, 

 MENTS LABELED BY THE SHIPPER DO NOT REICE FOR ACCOUNT OF SHIPPER. 



2. WHERE SHIPMENTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY ICED BY SHIPPERS 

 TO CARRY THROUGH TO DESTINATION WITHOUT REICING THE SHIPPER MAY 

 ASSUME AT HIS OPTION RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTION BY MARKING THE 

 SHIPMENTS "do NOT REICE FOR ACCOUNT OF SHIPPER. SHIPMENTS SO 

 MARKED WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE CHARGES PRESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 

 (1) 



3. WHERE IT IS NECESSAR); TO REICE SHIPMENTS MARKED 

 "do NOT REICE FOR ACCOUNT OF SHIPPER BECAUSE OF DELAY, NO CHARGE 

 FOR SUCH REICING WILL BE MADE, EXCEPT WHERE A SHIPMENT SO MARKED 

 CANNOT BE DELIVERED UPON ARRIVAL FOR REASONS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF 

 THE EXPRESS COMPANIES. WHEN REICING OF SUCH A SHIPMENT IS NECES- 

 SARY AFTER ARRIVAL, CHARGES PUBLISHED UNDER SCALE 7 TO 10 IN PARA- 

 GRAPH (l) WILL 3E ASSESSED FOR EACH REICING IN ADDITION TO THE 

 TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER CHARGES. 



4. SHIPMENTS OF PERISHABLE COMMODITIES FORWARDED WITH 

 WATER ICE IN THE PACKAGES AT THE CONVENIENCE AND OPTION OF THE EX- 

 PRESS COMPANIES MAY BE FORWARDED IN ICED WAY-REFRIGERATOR CARS WHEN 

 SUCH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE IN SUBSTITUTION OF REICING SERVICE. SUCH 

 SHIPMENTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE CHARGES IN PARAGRAPH (1) IN ADD I - 

 TION TO THE TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER CHARGES.
