The New Classification.
in general the business is divided
into two grand classes: First class,
which covers ordinary merchandise
shipments and second class. covering
articles of food and drink. but com-
paratively few of the articles taking
either of these rates are shown in
classification itself, as a list of such
articles would be very long and is
apparently unnecessary. Articles will
be marked “First-Class" now instead
of "Muse." There is also a "Third
Class" classification, which covers
principally, printed or embossed
books.
The distinction of this class is that.
with the exception of books. the are
ticles classified in it must be prepaid.
as they are generally of such a char
actor that should consignee refuse ac-
ceptance. the express company wo'dl‘d

Rate Examples.
Perhaps the very quickest way to
grasp the importance of the sweep
log change in express rate is to quote
a few samples. Under the old rate. it
100 pounds of cloth was'sent from
Orange. New Jersey. to Yonkers. N.
Y.. the charge was 31. From Orange
to New York, it was handled by the
, .Weils Fargo Company, whose rate is
10 .cents' for each '3100. Packages'
are carried in” passenger trainaand,
trains that
50 cents per hundred and from New
York city to Yonkersby the American
Express Company. whose rate is also
,50 cents per hunder. , The new rate
sends the cloth through for a charge
of 60 cents, and the number of com-
panics handling the shipment do‘es
not matter. For a sample between
this city and Chicago. the rate used to
be 80 cents for ten pounds. it is now
43 cents. The parcel pust rate is 63
cents. Here is a case where the new
express rate beats the parcel post
The Block System. ,
The new rates are figured by
blocks and the distance between
them. much as parcel post rates are
figured by zone circles. The express
been sounds almost as complicated
as did the parcel post at first but it
will doubtless be as simple. once it is
inaugurated. There is at least one
consolation-Abe express-clerks and
not the general public will have to
do the figuring. The country 'is to
be divided into large square blocks,
runningr parallel With the lines of
latitude and longitude. Each block is
numbered and every express station
falls into one of these blocks, which.
in extent of territory. appear to be
about 100 miles square. The prob-
lem then, is to compute the rate from r
one block to another block.
For example: A shipment of cloth
lag weighing ten pounds comes in
over the counter at Chicago, destined
to Dallas. Tex. Clothing. not being
an article of food and drink, takes
the first~clase rating. Dallas is in
Block No. 1,729. Reference to the
tariff from Block No. 838 in which
Chicago is located, shows that. Scale
No. 84 applies from Block No. 838
to Block 1.729. References to sched-
ule of first and second’v'class eigpress
rates shows the charge on ten
pounds at first-class to be, 65 cents.
A package of maple sugar weighing
'r munde, from Chicago to Dallas.
worked out in the same manner.
would show the {ascend-class charge
to be 42 cents. .
As a further sub-division. each
block is divided into sixteen sub-
bloclrs, each side of which is about
twenty-five miles. Each sub-block is
lettered, but. the eubeblocks are used
only for the purpose of computing
the rates between points in a block
and the eight other blocks .whlch
immediately surrounded it. For) ex-
ample: A shipment of clothinx
weighing, ten pounds from Chicago
to Michigan City. Inde—rChicago is «in

riff shows that the rates to Block No.

the same charge foo. ten pounds of
maple sugar.

BIG TfiOUBLE IN GREENWICH
LAND VALUES OF LATE.
Big depreciations in Greenwich
eal estate were admitted this morn-
ing in the Superior Court. caused by
the general depression in business
during the last six months. This fact
was brought out in foreclosure pro
ccedings brought by the Greenwich
Trust Co. in three cases against Wil-
liam T. Rich, his wife and others.
The entire mortgages amount to
$23,000. The trust company had a
hearing last week and its experts
held that the property; in three
pieces, was not worth all told much
more than $40. 000. and that it Would
not bring as much on forced sole.
Other real estate men gave the
bolus of the first pieces as she
$30 000. the second. including the
defendant’s home. as worth about
$20,000, and the third about $1,000.
It was the testimony of all these
witnesses that the past six months
had been very bad for real estate
selling in Greenwich. Property val-
ues had .gone dotvn, especially forced
sales. One witness said-he thought
that the first piece.of property was
worth, about. 340.000, but-he admit-
ted thut on it forced sale it might
not. under present conditions. bring
$30,000.
Foreclosures were ordered in all
cases. John A. Billiard had a claim
nvmlnst the property, but it was set-
tled and he was not represented by
counsel.
