Excerpt from Freight Rates, Vol. 3: Official Classification Territory and Eastern Canada; All-Rail Rates Eastbound Differential Rates Via Rail-and-Water Routes A comparison of the groupings of Trunk Line and New England territories as shown on Maps 5 and 7 of the Atlas of Railway Trafl'ic Maps, will disclose, in addition to the irregularity of the groupings, several more groups under the eastbound adjustment not shown on the map for westbound rates, the more important of which are the Rockland, Me., and Stanstead, Que, groups. However, this difference in the grouping does not always result in a difference in rates, since the rates from a great part of the percentage territory to both Rockland and Stanstead are made the same as the rates to Boston. From short-haul points, that is, from those on the eastern border of the percentage groups, owing to the exaction of minimum rates, which are made the same as interior percentage group points beyond, there is a difference in the rates established to the respective groups. Until the general advance in freight rates in this territory was authorized, in 1914, there was, owing to a. Difference in the rule for the disposition of frac tions, a difference in the rates from the percentage groups to New York as compared with the rates from New York to the same percentage groups.
