. Railway rates and traffic . n a special tariff is in application, this chargingthe same rate on goods dealt with at each of thestations.

In the tariff revision it was necessary, so that certainreduced rates might be maintained between Paris and RATES IN APPLICATION lOI Orleans, to create a special tariff ( 32) whichauthorises certain special rates with a prohibition ofcombined-rates. The facility of combining the ratesmust, then, suffer from some exceptions in order thatit might not prevent certain improvements, but theseexceptions are rare and it can generally be said that thecombined-rate is usual in France. The re-forwarding, or the combined-rate, representsan advantage for those located near stations. which enjoy special irates. Let us suppose that on alength of line Ob for which the schedule AS, applicableto the whole of the system, gives a charge of 30 francs,represented by the height Bb, there exists a specialrate of 20 francs represented by Bb. For a journeymade to an intermediate point, situated at the distanceOm, it would be possible to avoid the payment of theschedule charges Mm by forwarding goods to b, thenre-forwarding to m; the charge would then be Mm,this resulting from the addition of the special rate tothe charge Mm given by the schedule for the distancebm. 102 RATES IN FRANCE In the combined-rate, the charge added to thespecial rate would be calculated according to theinitial base of the scale without addition of the inci-dental expenses represented by BC = OA, and thetotal charge would be M^m. It is clear, therefore, thatthe re-forwarding would be of greater advantage thanthe scale for the distances included between Od andOb, whilst, wi
