Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Railway and Canal Commission of 1888
The power to order through rates, on application, which had been placed in the Act of 1873 as an extension of the facilities clause of the Act of 1854, had authorized the Commission to act only When application was made by a railway or by a canal company. The Act of 1888 ex tended this jurisdiction by empowering' the Commission to receive an application from a trader as well. In every possible way the fact was emphasized that the Commission was a court, and therefore no concerned with rate-making. The control of matters pertaining to rates was divided. Powers in regard to conciliation of rate difficulties were given to the Board of Trade. When the provision placing the revision of maxima and of classi fication in the hands of the Board of Trade was under consideration, an amendment to place such revision in the hands of the Commission was negatived.
