B—TARIFF FOR INTERCHANGED INLAND TRAFFIC.
The General Tariff comprises two Standard Scales, viz.:—Scale A and Scale C.—Scale A is the same as the Local Tariff except as regards the 4th Class rates for distances from 1 to 4 kilometres, for which a minimum of 5 kilometres per ton has been fixed.
Scale C differs from Scale A only by an increase of—Franc 0.10 per 100 kilogrammes on the Tariff Rates Nos. 1 and 2, and Franc 0.10 per 1000 kilogrammes on the rates of Tariff No. 3[124] (except in the case of Railway Carriages and Trucks on wheels), which latter charge is credited to the Western of Flanders Railway Company.
The following tables show, in English money, the terminal charge per ton, and the mileage rate per ton per mile:—
