1 Teamsters get $3.50 per 1,000 feet for this haul and make 1 trip a day. 
2 Teamsters get $2.50 per 1,000 feet and make 1 trip a day. 
3 On basis of 11 trips per day; round trips made in 7 hours. 
Of the 13 cases for which complete information was obtained it 
appears that the average load for a 1-horse team was 1,400 pounds, 
for a 2-horse team 3,950 pounds, and for a 4-horse team 7,333 pounds; 
the average distance hauled was 9.6 miles, thus making the average 
cost 11.7 cents per ton-mile. 
The 1914 study made on February 9 and 10 showed that the 
improvement of the road from Partlows to Spotsylvania Court House 
had opened up a large territory from which lumber and ties could be 
profitably hauled through to Fredericksburg. In 1913 large quan- 
tities of ties and lumber were brought to Spotsylvania Court House 
from the surrounding country and there reloaded in bigger loads, 
from which point they were hauled to Fredericksburg with 2-horse | 
teams. In 1914 this point of transfer was moved farther out on. 
account of the improved road, which will increase the average haul 
_ for such products and reduce the cost of marketing. 
The traffic encountered between 8.15 a. m. and 11 a. m. on Feb- 
ruary 10, 1914, on a trip from Fredericksburg to Spotsylvania Court 
House comprised 62 vehicles, 44 of which were loaded with lumber, 
ties, etc., going to Fredericksburg. For 6 cases on which complete 
information was obtained the average load was 2.38 tons, the average 
distance was 12 miles, the average ton-miles for each team per day . 
was 28.5, and the. average cost per trip about $3.50, making the 
average cost about $0.12 per ton-mile. (See Pl. V. fig. 2.)
