| From and after this date all freight
carried by trains of other Roads, running on this track by permission,
must be prepaid before the departure of the train from the point of
shipment. |
| Any such train coming on to this Road to
haul troops or freight, will be allowed the proportion of the income
of such trains as agreed to and fixed upon at the Augusta Convention
in December, 1862, (viz: one-eighth). This will not affect any
special agreement heretofore made for a specific purpose, or for a
limited time. It will, however, govern in the payment for the
transportation of troops, and their luggage, and one-fourth of
the income of any freight train, will be the maximum allowance
to the train for hauling, from the first of April, instant. |
