CIRCULAR NO. 10. Attention is respectfully called to section 24 of the Act creating the Railroad Commission, where it is ordered that connecting lines make "as close connections as practicable." The Commission does not desire to interfere, but many complaints, and apparently reasonable ones, are being made, and we trust it will only be necessary to call attention to the matters; if not remedied an investigation will be made. The regulations in regard to freight rates, as well as the per cent. above Standard Tariff, must not be enforced to their full limit in any case, or on any class, if it would thereby cause a rate in excess of that existing May 20, 1891. By order of the Board, H. C. BROWN, Secretary. J. W. WILSON, NOTE. -Complaint comes that roads which had previously charged 15 cents for packages had raised this charge to 25 cents, hence this circular. CIRCULAR No. 12.
