McGeor's Letter Mr. McJJeer's letter to Ihr hoard ofre'ring his help was as ollows: As you are no doubt aware, on June 5th last , the (iovernor-in- uncil directed the board of railway commissioners to: between Pacific coast ports and Fori William. ,S 2' llohl u general inquiry f ;wjth a view to working . out a plan of equaliza- tion of freight rales ( i throughout the Domin- ion of Canada. i;'In 192U- under instructions from the Government of llntish Jftilumhia, I filed with the board qf railway comrniioners an application askltvg for the remoal of what is known as the mountain scale differential. Our rlain was based in part upon the favorable grades. of Ihe Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian National llailway. belween the prairie and Vancouver and Prince Itupert.

Despite this fact, rates are charged on these railways which lire from 15 to 20 per cent more ban are charged for the same services on the same roads in ihe prairies, and In many in-dances from 35 to 80 per cent more than are charged for the same services on the same roads in Kaslern Canada. Our efforts in the past have met with considerable success. I have been instructed by the government to ascertain whether or not your board of trade or any one in yqur city would care to make any representations lo the bbar.l asking for a reduction in freight, ra'les either from prairie point I o Prince itupert or from prince' Hppert to any point east thereof.
