NOTE: The tariffs approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission include minimum weight provisions to insure that, in instances where the charges computed in one bracket exceed those computed for the same mileage in the next higher bracket, the lower rate is used. The breakpoint columns in Schedule A are designed as a convenience in determining the proper amount of reimbursement in such instances.

1 The rate applicable for the transportation of 1,999 pounds, net, or less for the applicable mileage, column (a), is that shown in column (b) unless the net weight exceeds the number of pounds shown in column (c) for the applicable mileage; in the latter case the applicable rate is that shown in column (d) for the same mileage and the applicable weight is the minimum hundredweight of that column instead of the actual weight of the goods transported.

2 In the case of transportation of household goods weighing 2,000 to 3,999, net, the amount of reimbursement is computed by using columns (d), (e), and (f) in the same manner as described above for columns (b), (c), and (d). 3 In the case of transportation of household goods weighing 4,000 to 7,000 pounds, net, the amount of reimbursement is the product of the

applicable rate in column (f) for the applicable mileage multiplied by the number of hundredweight transported.

To illustrate: The amount of reimbursement for the transportation of 1,800 pounds, net, for 100 miles is computed by using the applicable rate in column (d), $4.69 (since 1,800 pounds exceeds the applicable column (c) weight, 1,735 pounds) and the minimum hundredweight of column (d), 20. The amount so computed is $93.80. The amount of reimbursement for the transportation of 1,700 pounds, net, a distance of 100 miles is the product of the applicable rate in column (b), $5.41 (since 1,700 pounds does not exceed the applicable weight in column (c), 1,735 pounds) multiplied by the net hundredweight transported, 17. The amount so computed is $91.97.

Additional Allowances

Island Shipments. To the amount of reimbursement computed from the foregoing table add (a) $3.50 per hundred pounds for each shipment by common carrier having Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, as its origin or destination, or (b) $5.00 per hundred pounds for each shipment by common carrier having its origin or destination on any other island of one of the coastal States that can be reached by motor carrier transportation only by use of ferry or ship.

Metropolitan Areas. To the amount of reimbursement computed from the foregoing table add (a) 30 cents per hundred pounds for each shipment by common carrier originating or terminating, or both, in one of the areas described below, or (b) add 60 cents per hundred pounds for each shipment by common carrier originating in one of the areas described below and terminating in another of such areas:

Illinois Chicago, and Cook and Lake Counties and any point within the territory bounded by Lake Michigan and Indiana State Line on the east, U. S. Highway 30 on the south, State Highway 31 on the west, and State Highway 120 on the north, including corporate limits of points and places on the specified highways.

Indiana: Gary, and any point in Lake County. New York New York City, and any point in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties.

Ohio Cleveland, and any point in Cuyahoga County.

Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, and any point in Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties. Pittsburgh, and any point in Allegheny County.

This order shall be effective in any case in which the transportation involved is authorized and commenced on or after May 8, 1953.

Upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior my order dated January 17, 1948, "For Conservation of Fuel Oil, Gasoline, and Gas", is hereby revoked, effective as of this date.

This action is possible because of the gratifying improvement in the general fuel supply situation. The fine cooperation of the entire Federal establishment during the past year, in reducing to a minimum the consumption of scarce fuels, has contributed materially in overcoming the fuel shortages of last winter and spring, and in bringing about the present improved situation. This improvement is especially noticeable with respect to fuel oils of all kinds.

Supplies of pipeline gas and liquefied petroleum gas are still inadequate in some consuming areas. Therefore, care should continue to be exercised in those areas with respect to consumption of these gaseous fuels. Furthermore, each department and independent agency should continue to refrain from purchasing, installing or converting equipment that consumes any fuel substance that is scarce in a particular locality.

With the above qualifications the situation appears to be such that decisions regarding fuel needs and fuel-consuming equipment installations may be left to the discretion of the individual departments or agencies, subject, of course, to the general policy that continued conservation and governmental economy, as set forth

13 CFR, 1948 Supp.

in my order of January 17, 1948, shall be practiced to the utmost degree consistent with efficient performance of the duties and responsibilities of the several departments and independent agencies.

The Bureau of Mines will continue to make its consulting technical services available for the guidance of all branches of the Federal establishment, with respect to choice of fuel in particular areas or localities, and the selection and efficient operation of consuming equipment. HARRY S. TRUMAN
