Saniwax Paper Company, Complainant, vs. The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, et al., Defendants. D-2519. March 12, 1932.
BY THE COMMISSION: Complainant is a corporation manufacturing waxed paper and by complaint filed February 5th, 1930, it is alleged that the second class rates collected or sought to be collected on less than carload shipments on printed waxed paper wrappers originating at Kalamazoo, Michigan, and delivered to many Michigan destinations were unreasonable to the extent that they exceeded the third class rates. We are asked to require waiver of the collection of undercharges.
This proceeding was jointly heard with an Examiner for the Inter state Commerce Commission before whom a similar complaint involving interstate traffic was pending. On December 16th, 1931, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued its report and findings in I. C. C. Docket No. 23193, Saniwax Paper Co. vs. The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, et al. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission referred to will hereinafter be called the “interstate report.” -
Complainant manufactures and ships waxed wrapping papers in continuous rolls and in sheets, cut to size, from Kalamazoo to many destinations in Michigan. When this article is shipped in continuous rolls, the commodity is classified as “waxed wrapping paper” and is rated at third class. When transported in sheets, cut to size, it is classified as “waxed paper wrappers,” and prior to January 20th, 1930, was rated second class. On that date defendants voluntarily established the present third class rating on waxed paper wrappers
The events leading up to the filing of this complaint with this Com mission as well as the Interstate Commerce Commission is detailed in the interstate report and will not be reiterated here, except that it may be stated that complainant did not file with this Commission a com plaint similar to that filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission in October, 1929, and designated as I. C. C. Docket No. 22815. Complainant, in asking this Commission to require waiver of undercharges is, stated differently, really asking this Commission to find that the rates legally applicable during the statutory period were unreasonable to the extent that they exceeded those subsequently and voluntarily made effective. The Interstate Commerce Commission has found insofar as the inter state rates were concerned that they were not unreasonable and there is no evidence of record whereby this Commission can find otherwise insofar as intrastate rates were concerned. - The complaint will be dismissed. An appropriate order will be entered. MICHIGAN PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.

Michigan Elevator Exchange, Inc., Complainant, vs. The Ann Arbor Rail road Company, (Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers), The Michigan Central Railroad Company, (The New York Central Railroad Company, Lessee) Defendants. Informal Docket No. 390. April 1, 1932
This matter is before the Commission upon application of the above named defendants requesting that we authorize the payment of Fifty Dollars and Twenty-nine Cents ($50.29) to the above named complain ant as reparation in connection with the movement of two (2) carloads of bulk wheat moving from Ithaca, Michigan, to Battle Creek, Michigan, shipments being delivered on May 15 and 21, 1931.
At the time shipments moved the rate legally applicable upon wheat, carloads, from Ithaca, Michigan, to Battle Creek, Michigan, was the sixth class rate of Seventeen and One-half Cents (171% c) per hundred pounds. There was contemporaneously in effect via another route a lower rate of Fourteen and One-half Cents (14%.c) per hundred pounds, effective from Paines, Michigan, to Battle Creek, Michigan. Ithaca being intermediate from Paines, this rate would necessarily apply via the other route. When this condition was called to the attention of defend ants they immediately published a rate of Fourteen and One-half Cents (14.1%.c) per hundred pounds via route of movements, effective July 5th, 1931, and it is upon this basis that reparation is sought.
We find, after due consideration of all of the facts submitted in the pleadings and record, that the charges assessed were unreasonable to the extent that they exceed those collectible under a rate of Fourteen and One-half Cents (14.1%.c) per hundred pounds upon the commodity here at issue moving from Ithaca, Michigan, to Battle Creek, Michigan; that complainant paid and bore the charges upon the shipments in question; that complainant has been damaged to the extent of the difference be tween the charges paid and those that would have accrued at the rate herein found reasonable; and that it is entitled to reparation in the sum of Fifty Dollars and Twenty-nine Cents ($50.29), without interest.
Now, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, That The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers, and The Michigan Central Railroad Company (The New York Central Railroad Company, Lessee), be and they are hereby authorized and directed to pay, jointly, as each participated in the traffic, to the above named complainant, Michigan Elevator Exchange, Inc., of Lansing, Michigan, on or before June 1st, 1932, the sum of Fifty Dollars and Twenty-nine Cents ($50.29), without interest, as reparation on account of the unreasonable charges collected on the above involved shipments.

Cadillac Malleable Iron Company, Complainant, vs. Pere Marquette Rail way Company, The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, (Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers) Defendants. Informal Docket No. 399. July 23, 1932. Cadillac Malleable Iron Company, Complainant, vs. Pere Marquette Rail way Company, The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, (Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers) Defendants. Informal Docket No. 399. July 23, 1932. Cadillac Malleable Iron Company, Complainant, vs. Pere Marquette Rail way Company, The Ann Arbor Railroad Company, (Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers) Defendants. Informal Docket No. 399. July 23, 1932.
This matter is before the Commission upon application of the above named defendants requesting that we authorize the payment of One Hundred Thirty-six Dollars and Three Cents ($136.03) to the above named complainant as reparation in connection with the movement of one (1) carload of core sand moving from Juniata, Michigan, to Cadillac, Michigan, shipment being delivered on October 1st, 1931.
At the time shipment moved the rate legally applicable on core sand was 19C per hundred pounds, minimum weight 40,000 pounds, from Juniata, Michigan, to Cadillac, Michigan, via route of movement. This rate was the sixth class rate and would have to be used for the reason that there was no commodity rate published. Core sand in carloads is ordinarily moved on low commodity rates, therefore, effective Feb ruary 16th, 1932, defendants published a rate of $1.51 per ton, minimum weight 90% of marked capacity of car, and it is upon this basis that reparation is sought.
We find, after due consideration of all of the facts submitted in the pleadings and records, that the charges assessed were unreasonable to the extent that they exceed those collectible under a rate of One Dollar and Fifty-one Cents ($1.51) per ton upon the commodity here at issue moving from Juniata, Michigan, to Cadillac, Michigan; that complain ant paid and bore the charges upon the shipment in question; that complainant has been damaged to the extent of the difference between the charges paid and those that would have accrued at the rate herein found reasonable; and that it is entitled to reparation in the sum of One Hundred Thirty-six Dollars and Three Cents ($136,03), without interest
Now, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, That the Pere Marquette Rail way Company and The Ann Arbor Railroad Company (Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., Receivers) be and they are hereby authorized and directed to pay, jointly, as each participated in the traffic, to the above named complainant, Cadillac Malleable Iron Company, of Cadillac, Michigan, on or before September 1st, 1932, the sum of One Hundred Thirty-six Dollars and Three Cents ($136.03), without interest, as reparation on account of the unreasonable charges collected on the above involved shipment.

In the matter of the application of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company for permission to discontinue the towerman at the crossing of the tracks of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company and the New York Central Rail road Company at Federman. D-2739. October 10, 1932 In the matter of the application of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company for permission to discontinue the towerman at the crossing of the tracks of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company and the New York Central Rail road Company at Federman. D-2739. October 10, 1932
Application having been filed with the Commission by the Receivers of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company, under date of July 27, 1932 for permission to discontinue the towerman located at the crossing of its tracks and the tracks of the New York Central Railroad Company at Federman for the reason that few trains are operated over the crossing. The Commission being further advised in said application that if granted permission to discontinue the said towerman, it is agreeable to the Ann Arbor Railroad Company and the New York Central Railroad Company that the signals at said crossing shall be set normally clear for all train movements over the crossing on the Ann Arbor and remain thus, except when a New York Central train is to use the crossing, in which case one of the train crew will go to the tower and operate the signals, setting the route clear for train movements on the New York Central and at block against train movements on the Ann Arbor Railroad, and as soon as the train movement is completed over the crossing, the signals shall again be set clear for train movements on the Ann Arbor and at block against train movements on the New York Central. Attached to said application is a copy of a letter dated July 16, 1932 addressed to V. Parvin, General Superintendent of the Ann Arbor Rail road Company and signed by E. W. Brown, Superintendent of the New York Central Railroad Company advising that his company is agreeable to the discontinuance of the towerman and to the operation of the signals by a member of their train crew when a movement is to be made over the crossing. -
The Commission on the 2nd day of August, 1932 caused notice of hearing in said matter to be mailed to the parties in interest, including E. F. Cowley, Vice-President of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, which hearing was held in the offices of the Commission in the City of Lansing on the 12th day of August, 1932.
The Commission after due consideration of the evidence as submitted at said hearing, being advised of the few train movements over the cross ing and the agreement as to the method of operating trains, has concluded that the safety of the traveling public will not be jeopardized by the discontinuance of the towerman at said crossing; provided the normal position of the signals governing the approach of trains to the crossing are set clear for all train movements on the Ann Arbor and at block against train movements on the New York Central and in case of a train movement on the New York Central over the crossing, one of the train crew will go to the tower in advance of said movement and operate the signals to set up the route for their train movement and at block for train movements on the Ann Arbor, and after said train has passed over the crossing, he will again set the signals at block against train movements on his company's railroad and clear for train movements on the Ann Arbor.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, By the Michigan Public Utilities Commission that permission be, and the same is hereby granted to the Ann Arbor Railroad Company to discontinue the towerman as now maintained at the crossing of its tracks and the tracks of the New York Central Railroad Company at Federman; Provided, that the signals governing the approach of all train movements on the Ann Arbor Rail road are set normally clear and at block against train movements on the New York Central Railroad and in case of any train movement over the crossing on the tracks of the New York Central Railroad, a member of the train crew shall go to the tower in advance of such movement and after satisfying himself that there are no trains on the Ann Arbor tracks in the immediate vicinity about to cross over the crossing, shall then and then only set the signals clear for train movements on the New York Central over the crossing and at block against train movements on the Ann Arbor, and after his company's train has passed over the crossing, he shall again set the signals in their normal position of at block against train movements on the New York Central and clear for train movements on the Ann Arbor.

Petition having been filed with the Michigan Public Utilities Com mission by Walter S. Franklin and Frank C. Nicodemus, Jr., as Receivers of The Ann Arbor Railroad Company for authority to discontinue Lake George station on the Ann Arbor Railroad as an agency station and to make the same a regular prepay station for the reason that the expense of operating this station is far in excess of the earnings.

After due notice to all parties in interest this matter was brought on for hearing before the Michigan Public Utilities Commission at its offices in the City of Lansing.
The Commission, after due consideration of the evidence as submitted, and being advised therein that the ratio of station expenses to revenues, both freight and passenger, for the year 1929 was 49.6%, for 1930 was 204.9%, for 1931 was 207.9%, has concluded that such earnings are not sufficient to warrant the maintaining of Oak Grove as a regular agency station at the present time and is of the opinion that the public will be reasonably and adequately served by discontinuing Oak Grove as a regular agency station and make same a non-agency prepay station until such time as traffic at such station increases to such an extent as to justify, in the opinion of the Commission, the expense and require the services of an agent.
