ROTARY
BARREL
MAKING
$750
"RUN"
ON
SKEENA
RIVER
TODAY
A
question
which
has
been
puzzling
hundreds
of
Prince
Rupert
and
Terrace
people
for
the
last
month
will
be
Answered
tonight
when
the
Rotary
Club's
battered
steel
barrel
drifts
past
:n
hypothetical
line
in
the
Skcpna
River
half
.a"
mile
'below
tfast
Kwinitsa.
It
is
a
$750
question
in
which
skillful
calculation
based
on
a
test
run
over
part
-
umbia
slashed
out
at
statutory
rates
such
as
those
provided
in
the
Maritimcs
and
for
grain
shippers.
Eastern
freight
rates
are
provided
under
the
Marltimes
Freight
Rates
Act
of
1927.
Grain
rates
are
under
the
Crows
Nest
Pass
agreement
of
1897.
While
taking
issue
with
statutory
rates,
the
board
suggested
that
charges
to
shippers
by
train
be
kept
low
by
determining
an
"equitable'
rate
and
thne
having
th
feederal
government
subsidize
the
difference
between
the
"equitable"
and
the
present
low
rate.
