Reduction in ore freights to aid Broken Hill mines
Adelaide officials confirm a railway bylaw lowering ore rates from Cockburn to the own board ore per ton. The measure, urged by the Railway Commissioner, aims to save about £20,000 annually but some companies may still struggle without larger economies. The Silverton Tramway Company refuses a £14 per ton cut. Rates will stay while silver and lead prices rise to specified London quotations. New crude ore and concentrate rates apply to Port Adelaide and Port Pirie.
