Seattle Hardware Co. ships to Ford Motor Car Co. ae erie $ 7.50 switching charge N. P. 4.50 switching charge ~ To illustrate on a Great Northern spur, s trict, say to the Ford Mc $12.00 Now suppose a firm on the Northern Pacific, say the Polson Implement Company, one thousand (1,000) feet dis- tant from the Seattle Hardware Company, ships a car to Lake Union (Ford Motor Car Company) district, they pay, a Northern P. charge of $6.00. From Polson Implement Co. to Ford Motor Co., $6.00. From Seattle Hardware Co. to Ford Motor Co., $12.00. Another case of the regular operation of this present method: If Polson Implement Co. ships two cars to Ballard, customer located on the Northern Pacific and the other the Great Northern, this is how the system works: Customer on N. P. Ry. pays $ 4.50 switching charge. Customer on G. N. Ry. pays $10.00 switching charge. AN EVERY-DAY PRACTICE These cases are not exceptional ones, but represent the regular order of things under the present methods of handling freight. This duplication of switching charges, and the unfair results, prevail everywhere in Seattle. As a further illustration: Sears-Roebuck, on the Milwaukee spur, ships to a cus- tomer in Ballard on a Great Northern spur. The switching charges are as follows: Milwaukee .... pene ene Columbia & Puget Sound . Great Northern .... one on --$ 3.00 oes 0+ $13.50 : This is the situation in Seattle today. It is a heavy tax on our commerce and manufacturing. It discourages and drives away industries and causes stagnation in the develop- ment of industrial sites PROMISES BROKEN The railroads have repeatedly promised to remedy these conditions. Their promises remain unfulfilled. Now they are scheming to impose these same conditions on the Duwamish valley, while they and their newspapers yell, “High Taxes! High Taxes!” in order to fool the voter. CITIES WITH REASONABLE CHARGES MAKE NET PROFIT Contrast the situation here with that in Montreal or § Francisco, with a flat rate for switching of $2.50 per car; and with that of New Orleans, with $2.00 per car rate. The charge in each of these cities is sufficient to yield a net profit. A uniform rate of $3.00 per car as a maximum is pro- posed by the Port Commission, to be reduced as conditions warrant In point of service to the commercial and industrial com- munity, and to the commerce of the Port, the value of the Public Belt Line is incalculable.
