THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1931 2 STATE BOARD WILL DEFEND RATES AT CHICAGO HEARING Railroad Commission Opposing Plea For Boost on Butter, Eggs, Poultry | Efforts of the railroads to obtain ay @eneral increase of carload rates on butter, eggs and poultry from North; Dakota to eastern points will be op-| posed by the state railroad commis- | sion at an Interstate Commerce Com: mission hearing in Chicago Tuesday. F, P. Aughnay, assistant traffic ex- Pert for the North Daoka commission, is representing the state commission. | Under the new class which became | effective December 3, rates on butter. eggs and poultry are generally re- ducted between North Dakota and eastern cities. The railroads are seek-| ing a return to the former level. | The new rates on these commodi- | ties are decreases of about four cents to 58 cents on 100 pounds between representative North Dakota cities and Chicago. The new rate is par-! ticularly favorable to northwestern North Dakota. Between Chicago and Willisten, the | old rate on 100 pounds was $1.98, while the new rate is $1.40, or a re- duction of 58 cents. From Minot to Chicago the former rate was $1.63. and the new rate 34 cents less. Between Chicago and other repre- sentative cities, the decreases, under the new classs rates, on butter. eggs and poultry per 100 pounds, are: » luced from $1.11% to $1.05; Grand Forks, $1.18% to $1.12; Valley City, $122% to $1.10; Devils Lake, $1.45 to $1.19; Jamestown, $1.22; to $1.13; Bismarck, $1.50 to $1.27; Mandan, $1.52 to $1.27; Dickin- son, $1.72% to 137; and Beach, $1.82 to $1.43. Between Chicago and Wahepton, the rate is increased from 9712 cents to $1.02, and the Hettinger rate is increased from $1.30 to $1.31. Oct. 1 Deadline for Automobile Dealers} Automobile dealers are exempt from penalty for delinquency until Oct. 1 on all used cars on hand listed by them on or before May 15 whether purchased subsequent to Jan. 1: or not, Attorney General James Morris ruled in an opinion issued to W. 8. Graham, state motor vehicle registrar. “It is true,” Morris said, “that the license fee appears to be ‘due’ upon the transfer of the vehicle, but, in the case of dealers, it is not ‘delin- quent’ until Oct. 1 if proper listing hag been made. “This does not in my opinion exempt the dealer from the payment of any accumulated license fees and penalties for prior years, and when- ever the dealer makes application for license, he must pay all accumula- tions of fees and penalties.’ Under an act of the 1931 legisla- ture license fees “become due as soon as the vehicle shall first be used upon the public streets or highways in this state, and upon Jan. 1 in each year thereafter.” In the case of a licensed dealer the act provides that the dealer “on or before May 15 of each year, file with the motor vehicle department, a list of all used cars on hand May 15,” but such used cars “need not be licensed, unless sold, until Oct. 1, at which time the dealer must license all used cars on hand, paying the full annual Ucense fee, but without penalty.” City to Take Part In Christmas Plan Organization details were complet- | ed Monday for Bismarck's participa-| andy Kerr, Colgate’s head coach;! tion in a state-wide campaign to sup- ply Christmas boxes to families in the drouth area of Northwestern North Dakota.
