Railway freight on dry cows from Madras.In the October issue of this Journal we,while commending the steps taken by the Indian Merchants'Chamber,Bombay for lowering the railway freight on cattle booked to and from Bombay.referred to a similar representation made by the Madras Provincial Marketing Board to the authorities concerned.It was recently announced that from 1st February 1937.the freight rate per mile would be reduced from four to two annas per four wheeled vhicle carrying dry cows from Madras to all stations between Kavarapettai and Tenali, subject to a minimum charge and to a maximum in the number of animals carried in a wagon.Arart from this concession,the terminal charge of Rs.4now collected on each wagon of cattle imported into Madras,was abolished.We hope that these concessions will stimulate a greater movement of cattle from Madras to placces where grazing is available in plenty and will evennntually save the valuable Nellore breed from the hands of the butcher.
