"All such by-laws shall be submitted to and approved by the Railway Committee.

The Railway Committee may approve such by-laws in whole or in part, or may change, alter or vary any of the provisions therein.

No tolls shall be charged by the company until a by-law authorizing the preparation and issue of tariffs of such tolls has been approved by the Railway Committee, nor shall the company charge, levy or collect any money for any services as a common carrier, except under the provisions of this section. Such tolls may be either for the whole or for any particular portions of the railway; but all such tolls shall always, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions be charged equally to all persons, and at the same rate, whether by weight, mileage or otherwise, in respect of all traffic of the same description and carried in or upon a like kind of cars, passing over the same portion of the line of railway; and no reduction or advance in any such tolls shall be made, either directly or indirectly, in favor of or against any particular person or company travelling upon or using the railway.

Discrimination not allowed.

No toll shall be charged which unjustly discriminates between different localities. The Railway Committee shall not approve or allow any toll, which for the like description of goods or for passengers, carried under substantially similar circumstances and conditions in the same direction over the same line, is greater for a shorter than for a longer distance, the shorter being included in the longer distance, unless the Railway Committee is satisfied that, owing to competition, it is expedient to allow such toll. The Railway Committee may declare that any places are competitive points within the meaning of this

section.

Pooling No company shall, except in accordance with the provisions freights, &c., of this section, directly or indirectly, pool its freights or tolls with the freights or tolls of any other railway company or common carrier, nor divide its earnings or any portion thereof with any other railway company or common carrier, nor enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or combination to effect or which may effect any such result, without leave therefor having been obtained from the Railway Committee."
