Northern Pacific Accepts Grain Rate Cut Across State
The Northern Pacific will accept state railroad commission orders cutting grain rates by about 12.5 percent, with modifications to avoid specific tariffs. The main reduction stands, saving shippers about 750,000 dollars on crop sales, as commissioners expect tariffs to reflect the cut in Tacoma to Seattle water-competition routes. A formal notice of acceptance is being prepared, and no court appeal is planned. Meanwhile complaints seek improved Puget Sound Electric station facilities at Algona and better rates to that point.
