Excerpt from Inland Traffic, Vol. 14: Modern Business The incidents of the contract of carriage and the problems concerned with the rates charged for railway services have developed a large body of regulative enactments. Transportation is a fundamental factor in modern life. This volume on "Inland Traffic" is concerned with an analysis and explanation of some of the more important phases of Canada's transportation mechanism, the central position being given to railway transportation. Many important problems of public policy arise out of the relation of the transportation mechanism to the public. But the limitation of scope of this book precludes other than incidental references to them. The treatise is primarily concerned with the practical working as affecting business. An outline sketch of historical development is given to make clearer the setting of the Canadian traffic situation. The development of Canada's transportation facilities is of interest both to the student of beginnings and to the student of present day problems. At every step, it is a study of Canada in the making. Governmental aid has been extended to railway construction with a view to developing settlement and expanding trade.
