Note 209 — Chapter XX · FREE CARTAGE, STATE TRAFFIC, DEMURRAGE, THE EXPENSE BILL SYSTEM, GOODS NOT BILLED, MILLING-IN-TRANSIT.

Under the milling-in-transit privilege grain may be shipped into the mill from the West, ground, and shipped out from the mill to New York or other destination at a total cost but little greater than the straight through rate from the West to New York. But a mill without this privilege must pay the rate from the West to Philadelphia, and then the local rate from Philadelphia to New York, making the total cost very much greater.
