The
board
of
transport
commissioners
today
laid
aown
an
equalized
scale
of
ba.sic
freight
rates
for
Canada
to
go
into
effect
March
1,
1955.
The
new
scale,
generally
cut-
ting
western
rates
and
boosting
those
in
the
east
to
bring
re
gional
levels
closer
together,
substitutes
for,
one
the
board
proposed
tentatively
in
December.
1952.
The
commissioners
have
made
changes
in
the
original
equalization
program
and
also
have
retarded
the
effective
date.
The
initial
target
date
was
Jan.
J,
1954.
Last
year,
it
was
put
back
to
Jan.
1,
1955.
Today's
order
says
the
scale
must
be
effective
"not
later!
than"
March
1,
1955.
The
rail-
1

called
for
a

make
it

The
board's
order
directs
equalization,
between
the
Pacific
roast
and
the
Quebec-New
Brunswick,
border,
of
the
railways'
"class"
rates.
These
are
the
ceiling
charges,
which
carry
about
one-fifth
the
$1,000,000.-
000-a-year
rail
freight
business
and
on
which
many
other
tolls
are
based
indirectly.
All
traffic
within
the
Atlantic
provinces
is
exempted
from
equalization,
in
line
with
the
1951
parliamentary
legislation
ordering
the
board
to
level
off
rates
as
between
different
regions.
The
Atlantic
rates
are
protected
under
the
Maritime
Fre'ght
Rates
Act
of
1927.
Concurrent
with
the
effecUve
date
of
the
new
order,
a
board-directed
general
reduction
of
five
per
cent
on
previous
ceiling
rates
within

will
