RAILWAY FREIGHTS
TRUCK KATE SYSTEM [ Per Preu* Association.l AUCKLAND, May 15. To investigate the truck rate system of railway freights, the Transport Co-ordination Commission held a further sitting at Auckland to-day. Evidence had previously been taken by the members, Messrs. T. H. Langford (chairman), T. McCristell and G. Laing at Kaikohe and Whangarei. In its order of reference, the commission has the fairly general task of reporting on the system in so far as it relates to all classes of goods consigned from Auckland to the North. An inquiry is being made into the economic effects on shipping transport services and a considerable volume of evidence on these matters has been heard. The inquiry has not yet been completed and a further sitting will be held in Wellington to-morrow. Members of the commission left for Wellington by the Limited express.
