Title 46, Chapter 9, Section 51
( 46-9-51)
Whenever a shipper or consignor requires a railroad company to
furnish a car to be used in carload shipments, in order for the
consignor or shipper to avail himself of the forfeitures or
penalties prescribed by the rules and regulations of the commission,
it must first appear that the consignor or shipper made written
application to the railroad company for the car, provided that the
commission shall, by reasonable rules and regulations, establish the
time within which the car shall be furnished after being applied for
and shall establish the penalty per day per car to be paid by the
railroad company in the event the car is not furnished as ordered;
provided, further, that in order for any shipper or consignor to
avail himself of the penalties provided by the rules and regulations
of the commission, such shipper or consignor shall likewise be
subject, under proper rules to be fixed by the commission, to the
orders, rules, and regulations of the commission. |
