Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Railway Rates and Terminal Charges, Vol. 54
The rates and charges which, under the provisions of these Acts of. 1891 and 1892, railway companies are now authorised to make in respect to the merchandise traffic, are separately dealt with under the comprehensive titles of Conveyance and of Station and Service Terminals, terms which correctly indicate the nature and extent of the enormous business the railway companies have acquired as common carriers, originally never contemplated by the legislature, as the toll collecting clauses in the earliest railway Act testify.
