RAILWAY CHARGES.
BLENHEIM, July 23. Startling statements were made at a meeting of Blenheim Farmers’ Union as regards railway freight rates. The Chairman stated there did not- seem to be a fixed rate on tbe railway for freights. Evidently tbe Department was exploiting everyone wherever possible. When high and unreasonable charges were found out and questioned, the Department rapidly climbed down. It was resolved that the provincial executive farmers’ union be asked to inquire into the matter of differential railages on local railways on goods as between shipping firms and private individuals.
