On th® taorning of April 8th.f I proceeded to the Local fcharf Freight Office to commence check of above. I was unable to go ahead with the check, as there were no records covering this feature available and no one knm anything about the matter. By going back through old files available in our office, I located a 1950 *iharf Freight Office file number pertaining to the subject. This file 'was eventually located by the Freight Office staff and it was noted that a ruling issued by the General Foreign Freight Agflftt in Umy 1953 abolished the assessing of Ig per cwt. switching charges on cars of export grain which mere diverted after arrival at Coquitlam, for domestic use at elevators other than those to which they hed originally 'been consigned. While going through the Switching Tariff 570B in connection with the aforementioned switching, I noted item 2180A, which reads as follows:- "when at ths request of llevator or Consignee, this Company switci out specific cars or ears containing grain of a specific grado, for delivery to M elevator, a charge of $2.5*7 per car will be assessed in addition to the freight rate and any other charges applicable.11 1 then asked the Head Switching Clerk, if this ruling was being enforced and he informed me he had never received a request to switch such cars. After making further enquiries froa the Grain Dt*k, 1 found such cars were being switched but they could not tell ft* who issued the switching instructions. I then took the matter to the office of the General Foreign Freight it and discussed it with the Chief Clerk, who was also unable to say who was issuing such switching instructions to the Yard Office at Coquitlam, without advising the Switching Beak at the local Wharf freight.

Referring to your letter of the 13th inst., file 0,67505, relative to the assessment of switching charge on carload shipments of grain on which specific instructions were received from consignees to deliver at a domestic elevator or mill at Vancouver, B,C. Item 950, C.P.W. 570-B provides a charge of $1«00 per car will be assessed in addition to the freight rate, when at the request of an elevator or consignee, the Railway Company switches out of the "elevator Line-up11 at Coquitlam, B.C., specific cars or cars containing grain of a specific grade for emergency placement at the devator^ The information you obtained from the Foreign Freight Department is correct; the item was published to cover switching service performed in removing cars from the elevator line-up for special placing at elevators in lieu of regular placement in datal order, as the railways maintained they were not obligated to switch out special grades at the request of consignee for preference unloading at export elevators to enable consignee to meet steamship commitments, etc. With regard to the assessment of switching charge in connection with cars removed from the elevator line-up at Coquitlam, B.C. for domestic delivery at other elevators or mills in Vancouver, B.C., I agree that no charge should be assessed for this operation. Our practice, as I understand it, is to line up cars at Coquitlam, B*C. in datal order for placement on the Midland Pacific Terminal Ltd. siding, without handling the cars into Vancouver and receiving placement orders after due notice of arrival has been sent to the consignees, therefore, if the consignees in any instance submits a placement order requiring delivery at a mill or elevator other than the one for which the car has been consigned, such change in consignee and subsequent placement should be made without charge,, (sgd.)

Pros 1 to 14. In the course of this check it was observed that on July 4th there were 11 Cars of Grain diverted at Coquitlam, after arrival, to Midland Pacific Elevator and on which, was assessed a Switching Charge of .01$ per cwt. We questioned this charge for the reasonForeign Freight Agent, his file C-1573 January 7/49 had ruled tl.OO per Car was all that was assessable,and Agent Vancouver wharf Freight's Outstanding at that time was cleared by Mr.Brooks. Notwithstanding Agent Vancouver Wharf Freight continued to feel the .01^ per cwt was correct and assessed that charge as herein stated. The fl.00 per Car was, in their opinion, only applicable on Switching a Car of Specific Grade for the same Consignee. The Local Freight Agent,August 4th., under pro 7136 Car CP128468, Alberta Wheat Pool diverted to McLellan and McArthur also, assessed a rate of .01^ per cwt. You willnote copy Foreign Freight Agents letter to Mr.Edsfcrth,December 6th, attached, paragraph-5 and 6 that he has ruled no charge whatever is assessable. Mr.Edsforth has not yet expressed &ny opinion. I will let you know the outcome as soon as Mr.Edsforth has reached a decision.

Bearding the second paragraph of your letter, I sight say that our practice in this connection goes back over a period of approxSjiately 30 years. At that tiiae we set up a' record in this office that gave us the details of these diversions, and I would add these records were checked very closely during all that period by the Audit Department. I regret to say however, that 1 am unable to locate the e<^respo$aaaee dealing with this Batter, and the only conclusion that I have come to is that -Mums destroyed in the fire of July 1958. Regarding the third paragraph of your letter, to the best of our knowledge there me ao complaint reeeived tmm the levators at any time regarding the assesament cf .01^ for switching charge on this movement.

The particular question of operation of semi-public elevators was thoroughly thrashed out in the 31all of 1930 when the Canada Grain Act was amended making provision for this particular class of elevator, and the subject is covered hy your file J-70757. The ruling was then given that it was not necessary for the Railways to have a "bend fer the surrender of hills of lading. Seme eloubt was expressed as to whether or not we should require a small bond to cover diversions such as the instances cited hy Hr. Arnum in his letter ta you of the 9th instant. It was subsequently decided that this was not necessary, the particular decision in this matter "feeing covered hy my wire to you of October 1st, 1930.

The records in this connection are Y$ry much improved since my last visit, and records show that bills of lading have been surrendered for endorsement when required, also that the receiving elevator company confirm their acceptance of grain diverted to taea. This diversion record ie bein^ checked up monthly hy an independent clerk to tee that instructions are hein^ closely followed. "■-*y attention hag beon drawn to an account of $26,73 covering elevation charges on a car wrongly diverted. Deversion Order *ro.811 Tanuary 25th showa that owner asked for diversion of C.P,243252, hut Coquitlam advised ttt@o late* car already ia, and the diversion instructions should therefore have been automatically cancelled if owners .declined to pay a re~switcht Car was placed at elavator originally consigned to and was unloaded Tanuary 30th. However, on '"arch ?th Coquitlam fard clerk diverted 0#f* 242352 without instructiona and, as his authority, now refers to the above T)/0 #811. The latter order should not have been open and furthermore the car diverted was not the car shown on T>/0 811, Lnie claim is being handled under F.CJU "-1Q474, Wharf A^entfs orain filw. The error caused a free re-switch in addition to elevation costs of #26.73, I have suggested to agtnt that a time linut should be placed on diversion orders on file at coquitlam, making it necessary for yard clerk ta check back with ^rain clerk to verify that diversion instructions was still applicable, Owin^ to the fact that, as an operatin- taring, a oar roister is not -rept at Coquitlam it is possible o #2.

Referring to your report #£915, December 28th. The conditions outlined in your report clearly indicate absence of supervision hy Agent* He must surely have realized that the appointment of an inexperienced man for the duties of grain clerk most certainly required close concentration upon that portion of the work for a time, this being the only means at his disposal to satisfy himself the work was being done correctly. Please Thatch this situation closely, satisfying yourself the instructions now issued are being followed out*. It will be necessary for you to place special debit for all amounts Agent neglected to assess, instructing him to refer to Mr. Cherry for clearance, if collection cannot be arranged* Yours truly, $7. Auditor of _. \ agencies. o 6 Vancouver5^.C. December 28th, 1951. 0-142264. B. Arnuia, Isq. f Auditor of Agencies, Mentreal. ^ear Sir;- Vancouver Wharf Re-Switching Charges on Grain diverted after arrival at Coquitlam and Vancouver. Beferring to remarks in my letter 9th, report #2913, regarding above. 1 now attach statement of cars re-switched after arrival, on which re-switching charges ware not assessed. You will note that in a number of instances yardmaster failed to obtain switching waybills ae his authority to perform the service. Aa have explained in previous reports, owners invariably cancel their diversion instructions when informed that cars have already arrived. They will not stand the additional switching expense of 1^ p^r 100 lbs, and in ninety nine cases out of a hundred they instruct that cars be placed as originally billed. *?harf Grain clerk wae under the isipreeeion that cars arriving Vancouver were entitled to "Trirst Spot* without charge, but he overlooked the fact that any diversion instructions covering grain for placement at an export elevator must be filed prior to arrival of cars art Coquitlam. "For our own convenience, grain destined to Midland Pacific Elevator, 'Jorth Vancouver, is brought into Vancouver, instead of being held on track at Coquitlam, and if owners request diversion after arrival re-switching charges should be. assessed. Had clerk informed the Midland Pacific Co. that charges $105.50 would have to be assessed on the eleven cars diverted to Burrard Elevator, he would without doubt have been told to cancel diversion requests. I discussed this point with Ifar. McHafo, and he is satisfied that it would only be wasted effort to attempt collection from the Midland Pacific* They were not given a chance to declare their wishes and would refuse to entertain our claim for switching charges. There is nothing to be gained by our placing debits for items #9.62, $12.58, $10.00 & #9.86, as owners were not given the option of cancelling diversion instructions and would now decline to pay. I am therefore not placing debit unless I hear further from you. Item S9.23 should have been covered by switching waybill ae *no charge*, with reason endorsed as per authority of j?.F.A. account of operating error. m d # 2. B. Arnum, ®eq., Yours truly, You will note that diversion instructions covering 192 cars were accepted by agent without presentation of bills of lading for diversion endorsements and proof of ownership. The whole situation has been discussed with IM1.Agent, Asst1 Supt1 , A^ent, and Yardmaster, and it was agreed that general instructions, issued September 9th,1927, fully covers the situation and it only remains for agent and yardmaster to carry out instruction*. However, the attached condensed information was handed to grain olerk for his guidance in future. diversion records would indicate that, in some instances, cars had. actually arrived at Coquitlaia prior to receipt of diversion instructions,, but, because train had not actually been broken up flfai cars placed in the various assigned tracks* yard clerk at Coquitlam made the necessary alteration on waybills and carded cars to another elevator without considering the question of re-switching chargea, I alao noticed that in tw* instances wharf grain clerk issued switching waybill covering re-switching performed at Coquitlam, evidently after the servie* had been perfo naed.Ooquitl am Yard is provided with a book of switching waybills and clerk there should have issued waybills before having cars ra-switched. Asst1 Supt* and Yardmaster have explained requirement* to yard clerk at Coquitlam, -md the latter now understands the-above mentioned points. Owing to reduction, of staff, the phone service between Vancouver & Coquitlaia has bean r&ry unsatisfactory, and it has taken hours for grain clerk to get in touch with yard clerk to effect diversion instructions. I have had As*t» Supt1 arrange that yard clerk will call grain clerk three timae daily, this should improve the situation and enable grain clerk to promptly advise parties requesting diversions. Have instructed agent that, while it is unfortunate that staff reductions necessitated the placing of an inexperienced clerk on the grain desk, he must take steps to properly supervise and see that such important instruction* are being carried out. I do not think that error* referred to have resulted in an actual loss to our Company, other than the expense of additional switching, but the diversion of grain on verbal instruction* from variou* firms and individual*, who are not under bond, without the presentation of ladings was a more serious matter and Blight have resulted in claims. >!y report #2915 attached.

Referring tc yours of 11th instant, and returning file re ^bloct - diversions'1 of cars of grain, which has been duly Qoted - particularly, Foreign Freight Agent McNab's agreement with your suggestion to assess re-switching where the use of car numbers - regardless of the cars being in one string and no switching being involved - constitute a diversion after arrival, and that re-switching should be assessed. I note also that you instructed Agent to assess re-switching on the 44 cars in question. If, as you state the Columbia Elevator Company has been advised to settle, and enter claim for investigation, such claim would naturally be submitted to Foreign Freight Agent for his ruling before any claim is submitted to Freight Claims Auditor, as to whether any refund is in order, - and that you will advise of an;$ further developements if necessary.

Bear Sir:- Vancouver - Ra-switching charges on grain diverted after arrival at Coquitlam Yards. I aw nQ3? returning correspondence, between yourself and the Auditor of freight and Telegraph Receipts, enclosed with yours of August 20th regarding above. Ara alao attaching copy of my letter Sapt. 13th, to wharf agent, copy of hia lattar Sapt.16th to aaat1 aupt1, and memorandum of meeting bald September 30th. I MM adviaed that the necessary staff has now been providsd at Coquitlam Yard to enable agent to properly take cars of grain diversions at that point. Vancouver Wharf switching waybills hava bsen supplied to thu Coiuitiam Yard ataff, and instructions issued that no re~switch will he .mads without feeing properly covered by ieeue of switch ordar. Ra-*awitahing done to correct staff errors will be reported *n/c* and explanation endorsed on waybill as instructed by Mr. Bridger. In connection with Hun-Outs (sae meraa of meeting held Rept.30th). Care placed at elevators are, for ons reason or another, frequently ordered pulled out for re-spot later on. If placed back to the same elevator the charge mads is #2.50 per car, but if placed to another plant switching of Iff p^r 100 lbs ia assessed. In order to protect this r®Tr<m\i* it is necessary that a n/c switch order be issued covering each pull-out. Such switch order ie, attached to the rmmu% freight waybill, and when car is subsequently re-spotted our wharf agent issues the revenue switch waybill covering and hands to yardmaster as authority for such re-switch. frequently, the elevators are not in a position to know what cars are to be pulled out until the yard crew reach their plant, and it is not practical for them to give that information to agent in advance of strvica required. The yard crew do not usa a caboosa on transfer traina between Coquitlam Yards and elevators, and it is not practical to carry a book of switching waybills around with them. r^v o # 2 H.J.Dalten, Esq., Under the circumstances, I have been obliged to agree that the yardmen ^ay pull out euch loads, and. the movement will afterwards be covered by agent*s iasue of switching waybill, fhe Hevatere must however hand our yardman a list of any loads to be pulled out, and this authority to be turned into agent, who will ioaediately issue switch waybill to cover,. and attach same to freight revenue waybill. With the above exception, all ra~ switching Will be 09ver«ft by issue of switching waybills before actual performance of the service. Train is now raoving into Vancouver pretty freely, and tha present line-up should enable agent to properly pro sect all car rentals and twitching r^-varm®. One waaknaae is the question of telephone service between Aidant and coquitlam Yards* One phone line is in u&e for general operating service, and agent cannot get prompt connection with the yards. Superintendent was pressed to put in a separate line to handle grain work; but he comprimised by placing an exchange operator at Coquitlam Station with instructions to give grain work the preference. When the owner of grain presents bills of lading for diversion of grain, we should be in a position to promptly advise him whether the cars have arrived at Coquitlam or not. If his grain has reached there he is aware that it will cost him Ip p®r 100 lbs to divert, and he will decide at once whether he wishes diverted. An index car record book is being kept right up to date at Coquitlam covering all cars arriving and departing, but as above explained our telephone service is bad. However, this is purely an operating matter, and service to the grain trade, which no doubt will correct itself before the grain season is over. aoura truly, A .A.

IH OA3SAL OHBBHt It was .pointed out that Instructions from Mr. I.D.Cot- ttrell* Unnlpog* at ths time of his visit to Vancouver a few weeks ago. were to the affect that oars must be placed tn datal order of arrival at the temtnals. fhis natter of placets nt was considered from various angles ami it was pttintsd out that as has happened in prsvlous seasons ws mgy be called upon without not tea to fill up certain elevator tracks owiw? to inability of ths 0.1.1. to supply the necessary curs. It was pointed out that if datal order of placement is strictly adhered to ws might in such instances bs unable to take advantage of such opportunity. It wa also pointed out that as heretofore vessels m^y bs available for a particular grade which ts not available tn elevator but of which grade ws might havs sufficient cars in ths terminals; that by placing such cars at tht elevator th®y oould be unloaded for the vessel thus releasing equipmsnt vhich otherwise could not bs unloaded, this again interfering with ths striefc datal order rule of unloading. fhe Operating Department were jommerce Act, as the ca.se may be. ^ -2- of the opinion that if they had some leeway in connection with this ruling it would males for more efficient handling and enable us to tike advantage of the opportunity for unloading our cars as Ifchey offered. It was suggested that the Operating Department here acquaint ths Winnipeg Operating officials i*;ith these details with a view to obtaining their consent to such deviations. mkm QOBsweat As the Vancouver Wharf advices to elevators of arrival of cars are used by the ^srd Office in placing cars, it was arranged that Vancouver iharf should be supplied by ths Yard Office with copies of consists of trains arriving at Coquitlam. these to be numbered consecutively. TOUQH GRAIIt Inspeetions of grain at Calgary indicate that up to the present grain was running 40$ tough* The question arose as to switching out of tough cars as in previous seasons. As there is not sufficient grain rolling at the present time to determine whether present grading mlgfrt continue or ie only temporary, this question of switching out tough grain was left in abeyance, but it wae decided that as before damp ami wet grain must be switched out for immediate delivery to ^ elevators. PIVB33I0B3s The matter of diversions was fully discussed and the meeting in formed that as heretofore no extra switching charges would be assessed on cars diverted from one elevator to another when such diversion orders were received in time to enable us to accomplish the change before cars were switched at Coquitlam to the tracks for the eW~~*qr , to which originally consigned, but that any diversions* in teimr after cars had been so placed could only be arranged as a at the regular switching charge of one cent per 100 lbs. ^ diversion must be made without a revenue switch bill b # cover and it was decided that Vancouver Wharf must movements on his regular switching list but that % care of by switch orders. If reswitching is req error of employees these movements muot also be } order and cancellation of charges arranged thrj Diversion instructions as previously inst with tha exception that instructions covering public elevators are cancelled, there being DiMURHiG3: 2his matter was considered in conjunction^ §gj the placement of cars would irovern the demur* ™ state Commerce Act, as the case may be. fhe Meeting was informed that pending the decision of the Board of Hallway Commissioners no demurrage applies on grain to the public elevator. The fharf Office was informed that they should not take debit for demurrage on cars placed by ourselves out of line for our own convenience and that in figuring demurrage on out of line placements this should be based on correct datal constructive placement. If. however, certain cars are required by private elevator ahead of earlier arrivals such placement will not relieve the earlier arrivals of the demurrage which might accrue. fflff-OUTS: Vancouver Vharf Agent was instructed to get in touch with the elevators as quickly as possible and arrange with them to give them orders in connect ion with any loads remaining on their leads requiring to be run out. Mr. T^-*wf and Mr. Hicks ar© also to see the elevators with a view to having them give the switching crew orders covering empties find loads to be pulled from their sidings. It was the opinion that if the elevators gave the switching crew an order to pull all cars with exceptions, this would cover. She */harf Office will assess any necessary charges required by reason of run-outs. Cars run out by an elevator for any purpose and subsequently returned to the same elevator will be subject to switching charge of 4£»5Q for each movement and switching waybills bearinp this revenue must be issued before the subsequent replacement can be effected. If such run-out is to be subsequently placed at nnother elevator the witching charge will be one cent per 100 lbs, this covering the run-out from elevator and placement at any other elevator on our tracks at Vancouver. If cars are run out at conveneince of the Company they must be replaced on the earliest possible switch* c.h.h. omsi The discussion of demurrage brought up the question of our holding on otir tracks O.N.H* oars for oodwardfs elevator. It was considered advisable that the matter be taken up with the 0.I..R. ami the Columbia elevator wit a view to having this traffic handled the same as Hxoort Lumber. • via?.. the cars be hold on the 0.21.1. tracks until the Columbia elevator could unload. Vancouver V/harf Agent and Mr. Coe were instructed to take- thls matter up with the interested parties with a view to arranging. «tate Commerce Act, as the case may be. \ o coau I HAMs Mr. McCrea advised the Meeting that for the present a telephone operator wouxd be placed on duty at Coquitlam with a view to proper service between Wharf Office and that point in connection with diversions and other matter. It was further stated that a new telephone line could be nm within a vwek or so if such should be found necessaxy. It was also considered advisable that car index book be kept at Coquitlam covering all movement in and out of that point. In order that this might be kept up to date - and it was shown that such book must be kept up to date - a day and night clerk would be necessary. This matter to be arranged hy i!r.

Dal ton, Esq., auditor of Agencies, Montreal. Dear Sir:^ G-142264. Re-switching chargea on grain diverted after arrival at Coquiilam Yards. I am attaching copy of Mr. Mclfab's letter Jov.13th,1925, $»-54000, to Agents Vancouver regarding above -copy of which 1 note was sent you ttot. 18/25 under your file 0-158556-. As advised in my letter of date, enclosed herewith, I have made check of diversions made at Coquitlam during the month of February, and would advise that there is not the proper protection to our switching earnings in this connection. Errors ar& being made by wharf grain clerk, and by the yard staff at Vancouver & Coquitlaan, resulting in cars being placed at the wrong elevators. He-switches are made to adjust these errors, without use of switching waybils, and this practice ia liable to result in a loss of switching earnings. The attached memorandum of errors made during February, and the method of adjusting game, will show that the yardmaster is ignoring- the important ruling that no re-switch can be made without a waybill. It is ^rery etident that errors of this kind will continue to crop up, and it is clear that re-switching charges uaunot be collected in euch cases. But the manner of adjusting is contrary to instruction^ and it will be necessary to put this on a proper basis. I think that a s/6 should be issued for every re-swxtch made, but the actual accounting of charges in each and every case will, no doubt, create a considerable number of o/s items that will have to be cleared. Is this necessary? or would, the endorsement on s/0 as to why revenue had not been assessed be sufficient. Tho actual debit for the a^»dac switching would result in a thorough investigation of each item, and this would no doubt tend to reduce t. n3h®r of errors made, but the clearance of all euch items would involve considerable useless work. Vhere no ^rror was involved, such as the seven cars mentioned in arrant1 s letter March 9th to Mr, McWab, the revenue should, no doubt, be accounted and application made to F. 3?. A;-; ent for clearance. In o-rder to properly cover the situation, switching waybills will have to be held by Coquitlam-Yard, so that waybill can be immediately drawn to cover aveary re-switch made account of diversions, sucfe waybills to be accounted by wharf ageat-. As it now-stands,the re-twitch is made at that yard, and the s/order afterwards issued by wharf agent. "Furthermore, Ccquitlaat staff ehould be in a position to immediately advise agent whether a car had already arrived or not. ° # 2 ff.J.Dalton, Esq. 9 If the owners are aware that a re-switching charge is involved, they would frequently cancel their request to divert and allow car to proceed as billed. The phone service between agent and Cequitlaaa is bad, only one wire for general use, and the line is in use when required by agent. Ho index: car book is kept at Coquitlam and this seriously delays supplying the information required by agent. Two mere large Jlevator Companies will be operating here under bond arrangements this coming season, and it it would appear to very necessary that the situation be properly lined up before that time arrives. Another condition I found in connection with diversions at Coquitlam requires attention. Owing to-yard conditions, and our bond arrangement with the Columbia Elevator Co., it has been necessary to bring all cars for that fira into Vancouver, or to the lead to their elevator, and be spotted from this end. During February the Columbia Co. diverted 126 cars to their elevator before arrival of cars at Coquitlam, and after arrival no less than 52 cars were re-diverted back to the elevators originally billed to, ithin 24 hours after advice of arrival hare. Mr. ifcHab'a letter Jany.5th, cfpy attached, ruled that consignee was entitled to a diversion after arrival. I have pointed out that if such oars were lined up for their elevator, at Coquitiaja, the same as is being done for all other elevators, any diversion after arrival* would constitute a re-switch. I also pointed out that this arrangement caused the 52 re-diverted cars to reach the original elevator in advance of delayed loads held at Coquitlam for such publia elevator, and aiAgr:ested that itimxm this might explain why so many re-diversions by that company. I discussed this with Mr. HeSato, personally, and he advised his grain clerk that instructions of Jany.5th were wrong. He agreed that we were doing a lot of re-switching for nothing, and that the Columbia Co. should take the grain that they had diverted to themselves, or pay a re-switch. His clerk has been instructor! to find out what ia back of this, and Mr. HcH&b has promised to put this on a proper basis• The grain movement is practically finished for this season, and there is therefore no need for any immediate changes. But I would like to get your ruling in regard to the question of assessing earnings, when same, owing to operating errors, cannot be collected. Yours truly, X. A# — Memo.

On Jany.31st agent instructed Coquitlam to divert this car (as #95250) to Columbia levator Car placed at V.H.E., and on Eeby#23rd, agent arranged with them not to unload"; a^d wrote yardmaster to re-switch to Columbia. Re-switch made without waybill a/o grain clerics error. C.P. 136818 On Eeby.22nd agent instructed Coquitlam to divert to Vancr Harbour Hefator, but car arrived and delivered to Vancouver Milling & Grain Co. as originally billed. Investigation showed that car had been re-diverted to V.M.& G. by local agent on 23rd. Coquitlam yard is wrong in accepting diversion instructions from anyone but wharf agent. C.P. 204635 arrived Coquitlam 2?/l and on 2/2 agent instructed to divert to Columbia ELevator. Car re-switched and unloaded at that elevator on 5/2. Wharf grain clerk should have assessed re-switching, $9,82, as car was diverted after arrival. Clerk admits his error, and yard should not have made the switch without waybill, consignee now claims that had he known that a switching of \4 was involved he would have cancelled his diversion instructions when advised that car had already arrived, and allowed it to go into original elevator. I have not requested debit, as am satisfied that collection cannot be made? ^.P. 213356 arrd Coq. l/l* consigned V.H.E.

V. Terminal S. 24/2 all of the above switching waybills were reported cancelled -as well as orders 781218, 20 & 23 which covered three cars that reached the original billed elevators, although diversion instructions had been given to place at Columbia -. You will note from attached copy of agent*e letter March 9th, to Mr. McMab, that chargea had bean waived on verbal instructions of y.E.Agent. This letter was not acknowledged by Mr. McHab, and I understand that he verbally cenfiraed the transaction, but declined to cover by letter. I am not in a position to say how these orders were endorsed for information of Mr, Bridger as to their cancellation, and it might be well to have them examined. C.P. 208638, Agent*e letter 3/g to yardmaster shows that diversion instructions had been issued 3l/l to place at Columbia, but car had been placed and unloaded at Burrard. We v/era not obliged to correct this error, delivered as originally billed. C.P. 210766, Agent* e letter 2l/2 shows that this car had been diverted 26/l to Van. Harbour, but reached Burrard and unloaded 19/2, We were not obliged to correct this %rr^r% delivered as originally billed. C.P. 204354, Agentfs latter 23/2 to yardmaster shows this oar ordered diverted to CelionbiaadMpf' 18/g, but freight waybill received 23/2 showed that car had besn carded to Van. Harbour. Error corrected and car reached Columbia 25/2. Cannot say if re-switch waa necessary or not. pF # 2 • Agent's letter 22/2 to Mr. Mclab shows that nine cara were diverted at Cogy^rtlam, from EsmcajBt ±a Haz^our Board Elevators to Burrard, by yardmaster on instructions of Mr. Cline, Transportation Asst1, although Cequitlsm had already been instructed by agent to divert three of these cars to Columbia, Yardmaster had ne right to divert cars without instructions from agent, and any re-ewitek made after arrival at Coq. required a switchinh waybill. It has since been pointed out to Mr.Cline that diversions of this nature require written requests from private elevators, somtimes production of original ladings, md it is very important for the proper recording of grain that all diversion instructions are handled through wharf agent. These diversions were made in an effort to release delayed equipment, but Mr, Cline now understands that his office must handle* through agent. Agent's letter 26/2 to yardmaster shows that C.P. 107084 had been ordered diverted to Vancouver Terminal Elevator 5/2. Revenue billing arriving Vancouver 26/2 showed that car had been carded to Columbia. Error corrected and car reached Terminal 29/3. Cannot say if re-switch was necessary or not. Agentfs letter 23/2 to yardmaster shows that cars 232912, 232121, and 233309 were re-awitched from Vancouver Milling & Grain to Vancouver Harbour Elevators without s/orders, but same were issued after the movement had been made. Original* waybills and local agent1 a advice of diversions had not reached wharf agent until after cars had been re-switched.

"Dear Sir:- Re-switching charge on grain diverted hy the Vancouver Milling & Grain Co# Referring to my letter ef May 20th, 1926. I have now checked up all cars diverted by the above Company since May 1926, and find that, with tha exception of the two undermentioned care, all re~switching revenue hae been duly assessed and accounted for by Vancouver Wharf Agent. Car 71010. Thia car wae consigned c/0 Vancouver Terminal Elevator; but on March 5th Coquitlam Yand was instructed to divert t© Vancouver Hilling & Grain Co. Car, however, reached Vancouver Terminal Elevators and was unloaded March 18th. Vancouver M & Q Co. insisted upon the delivery of thit grain to them. Same was re-loaded into car 49436 and re**switched under s/brder #780997 - #9.09, but charges were deducted w/l March 31st and s/0 reported as cancelled, failure to divert this oar at Coquitlam wan an operating error, and the Terminal Elevator Co. waived their charges in this case. I am unable to ascertain at this end who was responsible for cancelling the s/0, and what remarks were endorsed on eame for the information of Mr. Bridger? Thie was a very simple method of covering up an operating error; but was the explanation endorsed on s/0 satisfactory to Mr. Bridger? Car 232421, weight 116430 lbs,. This car consigned c/0 Vancouver Commissioners Elevator; but on Oct.25th Coquitlam Yard was instructed to divert to Vancouver Milling & Grain C@. On Oct.30th agent was requested to re-divert to Vancouver Commissioners Elevator, but grain clerk failed to so notify Coquitlam. Car arrived at Vancouver Milling & Grain Cofs siding on Hov.9th, and wharf grain clerk verbally requested Yardmaster to re-switch same to V.C.Elevator. The latter did so without a switch order for revenue of $11.64. All cars for Vancouver Milling & Grain are placed in »H* yard for the convenience of that firm in sampling grain, as per arrangement made by Mr. Plow in Sept.1928,. It was understood that a movement o 'CJ # 2 H.J.Dal ton, Isq. $ from "H* yard waa a re-switch and should not be made without s/Order. On asking yard office what authority they held for the movement of this car, clerk produced a list of old-date loads (which is periodically supplied by Wharf Agent) covering oars waiting to be placed at export elevators. He pointed out that this list covered this car, alse eight others, as being in WH» yard fQr spot to Harbour Bievators. I pointed out that eight of these were duly covered by revenue s/ordersj but that he did not hold prober authority for 232421, and I referred to the fact that loads re-switched from *H* yard must be covered by s/0. He replied that that was "news* to him, and admitted that when he got tha periodical list of delayed cars awaiting spot, he would not check up to set if s/0 held to cover all such loads. In other words} he waa moving these loads on a switch list instead of m switching waybills. I have verbally discussed this with Mr. McCraa, Asst1 a party, aa wharf agent, to the arrangement xaade in 1925. Stitiai steps to put the yard staff right on this point. Diversions made at Coquitlam, after arrival of cars at Supt{, who was He ^roiiiised ta that yard, are also February records to properly protected. subject to re-switching charges, and I have checked ascertain if revenue in that direction was being I ant enclosing separate letter in this connection. Yours truly, X . A« p.s. I attach copy of agent's letter,If arek 27th/27, to J.G.Hcfab rm&mr&Lng the cancellation of charges ©n s/0 780977. It is evident that Mr. McTate's grain clerk verbally Instructed agent that charges should not he collected, hut the latter did not reply to this letter, confirming his instructions. A.W.T.

It was understood that hills of lading are to he prodneed before sampling is performed or where bill of lading is not available, then a bond of indemnity must be given our looai freight and delivering of cars, this disposes of the question of switching, but subsequent to our conference, the milling company has raised the question as to protection of the export rate on grain put Into the public elevators. Before the .- i.biie elevators will issue a warehouse receipt they require the bill of lading, and we are protooted under our bond with the elevators on the difference between the export and domestic rate should the grafi not be exported, fo meet this situation the looal agent Vaneouver could, of course, simply switch the cars to the fharf on the original waybill, handing the bill of lading back to the Vancouver Milling & drain Oo. who would surrender it to the elevator when they took out their warehouse receipt, fhe switching charge would be inserted on the i oovnd wa bill, and collected oy Vancouver Wharf ln addition to the freight charges. ") FORM 101 CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY INTER-DEPARTMENT CORRESPONDENCE ^est stfphsnk Ni't :um M* fhis is the manner in which ears o^nsl^nca to Vanoouver locally and which are not exported but diverted to prolie elevators are handled, i.e., the original waybill is transferred to the iharf office and the bill of lading endorsed covering delivery at the public elevator. Mr. fennant, fravelllag Auditor, expressed the view that the accounts should be closed at the Vancouver Local; ln othsr words, that the Vancouver milling & Urain Co. should take out their delivery order and elan for the ears before they sample, and states that Mr. Black ia a letter he wrote him r*b. 12th last, file Q~1428©4, objected to cars being -nspeoted before surrender of the bill of ladl g In view of section 10, Item 4, 1st Hevised *age BV, Circular Ho.l-1-is. Mr. Sleflab and I have a nsldered this feature ^tmrj carefully and we do not see how that section applies to the present case. The object of the instructloos referred to Is, as we take it, tc prevent any nersoa inspecting a ear until they have produced the bill of lading to prove ownership ln the shipment. hen the Vancouver Milling • Srain Co, surrender us the bill of lading before samplt ig, they are the owners of the grain. 1'he situation is complicated toy the fact that our domestic and export business at Vancouver is transaeted by two separate accounting agents. If we had only one, as the Q*B* cr (J.fi.Rlys. the accounts would be handled In one office. Another point is that if we require the Vancouver Milling * Ormin Co. to si^n for -the oar, and if we assess the export, rats compelling t em to put in a claim when the grain is exported, they will select the most favorable cancellation in basing their claim as a oonsldsrabie portion of their inwards grain is non-bransitted here. On the other hand by letting the grain go 'nto the public elevator at the export rate we are sure of earning the rate fro-;; ths actual point of shipment. In connection with this the mill ng company pointed out that the grain way lie in the pub isle elevator for two or three months before it Is exported, ax*d they may dispose of it to other exporters, and if they have to mare claim it will necessitate tracing the various transactions through to obtain proof of exportation. S* think, therefore, the cleanest way is to allow this grain to go int© the elevator the same as any other export grain. n O O form,<" CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY INTER-DEPARTMENT CORRESPONDENCE F«-E foffit ^ephen, ^S|.t Page 3.

Yours of the 12th inst. I" am attaching copy of Mr. McNabfs instructions of 16th Tanuary to Ur* Gard regarding removing samples of grain from cars consigned order, notify Vancouver Killing & Grain Co. The question of grain being delivered to Elevators at export rates rather complicates matters here, and it is evident that instructions in several directions will have to be issued to take cars of the situation. To avoid conflicting with clause 10, P.27, W1B, it would be necessary for tha Vancouver Milling & Grain Co. to take delivery of their cars (under bond arrangement) on basis of domestic x*ate. They can than sample and order oars spotted at public Elevator, or their mill. Grain ordered to Blevator would no doubt be exported and freight charges would have to be adjusted by claim. However, I!r. Bc^fab wrote Mr. W.M.Kirkpatrick on the 6th inst, fully explaining the situation, and no doubt this matter will since have been discussed with /our department. In the meantime; arent continues to act on instructions attached, and I presume that you will advise if you wish me to instruct him that sampling can only be allowed as per instructions in I 1 B? Regarding production of Bills of Lading on cars ordered to public Elevator. Cars directed to a specific Elevator are immediately switched as billing directs; But when the holder of the %/b wishes to divert to another Elevator we demand the surrender of the lading, so that such local diversion can be endorsed thereon. Cars not directed to an Elevator are held for orders, and the b/l surrendered for endorsation before we will order to any public Elevator. • . 0*ps consigned to notify the Vancouver Milling & Grain Co. ) # 2 C.J.Black, Esq., are in the sane position. They arrive here as for local delivery, and if diverted to a public KLevator it would seem necessary that Bill of lading be produced for endoreation. The Vancouver Killing A Grain Co. however do not wish to again surrender the ladings, and undertake to indemnify our Company against any loss or expense. This point will no doubt be discussed with you, and 1 would be glad to hear fron you farther. Yours truly, ♦i * #1. CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY % OFFICE OF THE LOCAL FREIGHT AGENT Q A. J.

It is understood t: at the reason such inspection or sampling is required sometimes to determine whether the grain is suitable for milling at their plant , and when the grain is found to be unsuitable for such milling, it is to be diverted to a public elevator or otherwise disposed of, but not refused by consignee.

Dear Sirs: Travelling Auditor, Mr, Tennant, and Mr• Goe, Foreign Freight Department, discussed with myself and 33Tm Dunkley, U3L% Tennant, Assistant Agent, and Ohief Accountant, this afternoon,the handling of grain for various elevators in the terminal. The following points were discussed: It DIVERSION OJ? GARS TO EL3VAT0RS-DOTEB ilLLED TO, AgTiSfl. OH PREVIOUS TO ARRIVAL IB THE T3RMIMAL: m Wa are receiving daily repeated requests from owners of bills of lading covering grain to have cars, which may be billed to the Harbour Commissioners* Elevator, delivered instead to The Vancouver Harbour Terminal Grain Company*s Elevator, or vice versa; and it was the opinion of the Travelling auditor and Foreign Freight Department that any such changes could only be performed when the holder of the bill of lading presented same at this office, bill of lading not to be returned to the owner until waybill covering such car had reached this office, and correction made on-waybill, in accordance with owner's request, bill of lading at the same time being corrected to read the same as waybill. Instances have occurred where it has been impossible for us to comply with owner's request, because of car being unloaded into elevator in accordance with billing instructions; but, where possible for us to comply v/ith owier's request, we endeavor to do so. It must be clearly understood, however, that bill of lading will not be changed and returned to owner, until waybill covering car has reached the office and changes have been made. The point was raised that bills of lading may be tendered us several days in advance of arrival of cars on whioh owners wish to maJce a change, and it might woric a hardship to them for us to hold bills of lading in this office until the car arrived and waybill could be changed. It was suggested by the Foreign Freight Department that this point should be developed further withthe grain trade and our company's officers. 2. LETTERS mm GRAIM FIgMS, RiSUUiSSTIJJG US TO AgVIS cIVAL I-' II T ' i ■■ " I ■ i il iii in -i i ni' i ,| „■; j ■■■ .,. •. |L _., uLU.ir.m-W i .... ,r. --- . ,... ..... mm.1, ~ ,..■/..:. .--,-. . - _ , .j _,.. This point was discussed by all present, and it was found that the majority of grain firms in the terminal write this office and submit, a list of cars,varying in number' from 50 to 200, with the statement that they hold bills of lading for cars on list attached, and requesting us to advise them of arrival. Foreign Freight Department decided that we are unquestionably bound to, not only notify the waybilled consignee, but a notification of arrival must be sent the writer of said letters as well. / o i - 2 - A-Grain 3* IUSTRUGTIQI8 TO YARD OFFICE FOR DELIVERY OF GRAII TO ELEVATORS IM VAIQOUViia TERMINAL: The increased number of diversions of cars of grain from one elevator to another, while en route, or after arrival in the terminal, makes it absolutely necessary that no cars of bulk grain of any kind be placed by the yard office staff at any elevators until such cars appear on the lists furnished the yard office by the wharf freight office. Such lists of cars will be made up by grain cleric, and will be sent to the yard as quickly as possible following the delivery of waybills in wharf freight office. An effort alii be made to have these lists contain the cars arriving in individual trains at Coquitlam* 4* HAHDLIHG Q¥ GRADI WAYBILLS BETWu^H QOQUITL:.... 1 PIP VAHOOUVBR: It is a matter of vital importance that waybills be rushed to the wharf freight office from Coquitlam as early as possible. As no cars are to be placed at elevators in the terminal until a list has been given yard office by the wharf freight office, General Yardmaster should see that Coquitlam has instructions to get waybills to Vancouver with the least possible delay. As for some weeks we have received rery few, if any, "Weights and charges11 waybills from Coquitlam, it is apparent that grain is moving on the original waybill between Coquitlam and Vancouver, in which case waybills should reach the wharf office from the yard office within an hour of arrival at Vancouver. Yours truly, GLMcC-M Wharf Freight Agent. Montreal, December 17th, 1924. G. L. McCrea, Vancouver, B.O. Vancouver Terminal Grain Co.Ltd. operating under bond and license as public warehousemen.

Would you please, therefore, arrange to have this cheep e held in accordance with the ahove. (Sgd) F.H.Clendenning, Foreign Freight Agent. 1-Grain Vancouver, December llthf1924. A-479^~3ee.2-B Mr. G. 1* McOrea - I have written you under separate cover in connection with the delivery of grain to the Vancouver Terminal Grain Qomjany's Elevator on the basis of the export rate, which satisfactorily disposes of this matter in the meantime. In connection with credit, Foreign freight Traffic Manager, Montreal, advises that providing the Vancouver Terminal Grain Company will furnish us with a bond from the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company for #25,000.00, undertaking to make payment of charges on Monday of each week for cars delivered Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday; and on Thursday of each week for all cars delivered Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it would be acceptable. This has the approval of our Vice-President, Mr. I. G. Ogden, as per his telegram of date, which reads as follows; HMr. KIrkpatrick's message regarding grain delivery to you today approved by me." In a talk with Mr. D.E.Treharne, Vice-President of the Vancouver Terminal Grain Co.Ltd., this morning, he informs me that they will arrange for a bond as quickly as possible. In the meantime, however, they will give us a certified cheque for |20,000 which amount should be taken into your accounts immediately. This amount should more than cover freight charges due during such periods pending the execution of the bond. You will, of course, have to watch to see that the amount is not exceeded without the necessary authority from our Vice-President. You should render your accounts daily to the Vancouver Terminal Grain Company and make your collections as above outlined, unless it is necessary to do so earlier due to the amount of charges being in excess of cheque for |20,000 that will be delivered to you today. I am covering the feature of delivering cars without surrender of bills of lading in a separate letter. (Sgd) F.H.Olendenning.
