M. Sheppardson, traffic manager of the Waco Chamber of Commerce, told the Traffic club luncheon at the Elite cafe Thursday that Waco's freight bill for 1928 was over $5,000,000, not including parcel post, express and other carrying. The inbound freight amounted to 807,686,163 pounds and outbound 1,009,461,086 pounds. There were 13.11 carloads of fruits and vegetables from 26 states ovpr the United States and many foreign countries.

There were 555 carloads of potatoes for last year's consumption and 270 cars of cabbage, beets and like vegetables. Tn the same year 627 ears of various kinds of fruits were shipped to Waco to grace the bmakfast tables and the other two meals the homes ar eating places over the city and onlv 15 per cent was from within the state and four per cent from foreign countries, the rest from other states. Many 1 nforeseen Delays feheppardson likened the present in traffic legislation to a gigantic in which each man connected with transportation is an actor in the panorma. He explained that the recent death of Clarence E. Gilmore, late railroad commissioner, was an example of what might take place to delay action in the settlement of the various tangles that existed within the state, these tangles being concerned w-ith railroad transportation.

He said that the testimony, when read by the man that takes plare instead of hearing the argument, cannot produce the same feeling that Gilmore had, because. Sheppard said, cold black and white print cannot convey the same meaning that the actual spoken word can. For that reason he looks for greater delays in the settlement of the controversy between the Katy railroad and Smithvilie regarding the moving of the machine shops to Waco. Illncsa Katy Case He said that former Governor Pat M. Neff would, of course, not hear the rest of the testimony on that case, because he had pleaded the case' before the commission for Waco.
