FUTURE PROCEDURE Our plan now Js, after giving the carriers reasonable time to analyze the Commission's report, to confer with them as to how it shall be put into effect, ascertain what rates they propose to put in from points pot named in the report, and: to reach an understanding in regard to the commodity rates, It is in connection with this latter phase that we will need the definite infor- mation from your people which I mentioned in a preceding paragraph, It will be up to us to name the com- modities on which we wish rates established, There will also be the necessity of keeping in touch with the Nebraska rate case, docket 14625, as the Com- mission states that their findings for Casper are without prejudice to conclusions’ that may be reached in Docket 14625 and, therefore, it is smportant that Casper interests be set forth in that case, Wyoming Rates Generally. Another very important matter that must not be overlooked is the rate situation to Wyoming gener- The commiésion’s report states that “the rates to points on defend- ant s in Wyoming should be on © general level’ and that “a « in the rates at Casper | befiis the largest city in tho sta | General ; Is not justifiable.” This can only mean that there should be a general lining-up of the rates from the east to all points on the Burlington and = = = = = = = = = = Northwestern in Wyoming.

The satisfaction we feel from the successful outcome of this vase only makes us feel how necessary it is to give due tribute to those who made that success possible. In many re- spects the care was difficult to han- die, the chaotic condition of western rates which was thoroughly known to the commissior, and the pendency of the Nebraska rate investigation docket 14625, raised a doubt as to whether the commission would give a definite decision until the situation cleared up. The Grand Island case was held up by the commission for over two years solely on account of such condition and when decided the claimants were given a temporary basis that afforded practically no re- lef. I feel, however, that due to the active, wholehearted and earnest co- operation of you and your traffic committee, we were able to present such clear and conclusive evidence of prejudice and discrimination that the commission could not but feel that you were entitled to speedy relief without haying to await the outcome of other cases, or the ad- justment‘of the chaotic western rate situation. It is certainly a pleasure to recall that whenever we sent out an S. O. 8, for data or information it was promptly forthcoming and in such shape as to cover exactly what was wanted, In my opinion, the sta- tistics which you furnished of Cas- per's growth. compiled as they were from authoritative sources had a very important influence in deter- mining the decision, for it showed conclusively that this was no mere village hamlet complaining of vis- fonary wrongs. Locking backwards I can see no misstep or omission at any stage and the co-operation we received from your community was the best I have ever seen in a case of this kind, consequently, the decis- fon is not surprising. I now hope that the final steps of putting the commission’s verdict in operation will meet no obstacles. *With best regards. Yours truly, J. C. RYAN, Traffic Manager HANDIGKP TOURNAMENT TO BE STAGED TODAY AT COMMUNITY CLUB Alex McCafferty, golf professional at the Community course, announced yesterday that an 18-hole medal play handicap tournament will be held toay, starting at 8 o'clock, in the morning.

French, ©. veterinarian, sent an- other dog's head to Dr. Cecil Elder, state animal pathologist, at Lara- mie, to have examined for rables. The dog was Killed Thursday af- ternoon, after it had bitten Mrs. Fred Ley. The bite from a dog afflicted with rabies is extremely dangerous, Dr. French declared, and immdiate medical attention was needed for Mrs. Ley. This was the first case reported of a person being bitten by a dog that was believed to have rables, and physicians are care- fully guarding against a possible outbreak of the disease hore. = vodity rates on Commodities Introduced : Wire and Nails 36 Pittsburgh < vire 80000 Pittsburgh - Tron Roofing 40000 Milwaukee - Tron Roofing 60000 Poper Newsprint ‘Pr esent and Prospective Tariffs Are Compared | ‘ Statement showing what reductions would be effected by the applica- “ion of the class rates prescribed by the I, C.
