The quantity in a car can be ascertained, with sufficient accuracy, by multiplying the internal length and breadth of the car together, and then by the height of the grain. Multiply this product by 1728 (number of inches in a square foot), and divide by 2150 (number of square inches in a bushel). Thus:--Car, 27 ft. 6 in. ×8 ft. 7 in. x2 ft. 1 in. 494 ft. 1 in. 8 pts. Multiply by 1728, and ÷ 2150 400 nearly. ROUND TIMBER. 1st. When all the sizes are in feet, multiply the length by the square of one-quarter of the mean girth, and the product will give the volume in cubic feet. 2nd. When the length is in feet and the girth is in inches, multiply as above, and divide by 144. 3rd. When all the dimensions are in inches, multiply as above, and divide by 1728. feet. 6962 and -48 347 144 ÷ 144 111392 ÷ 144 48:347 feet. The mean girth of round timber may be obtained by taking the circumference at both ends and in the centre, adding them together, and dividing by 3. The girth of spars should be arrived at by taking their diameter at one-third of their length from the abut or large end. SQUARE TIMBER. 1st When all the dimensions are in feet, multiply the product of the breadth by the depth, by the length, and the product will give the volume in cubic feet. 2nd. When one of the dimensions is in inches and the other dimensions are in feet, multiply as above, and divide by 12. 3rd. When two of the dimensions are in inches, and the other dimension in feet, multiply as above, and divide by 144. Thus 20 ft. long and 15 in. square:-15 × 15 × 20 Ash, elm, maple, cherry, birch, beech.... Oak, hickory.

That this rebate be such as to reduce the tolls to two cents per ton of the said products or any of them, and that the conditions of such refund be the following: That the products aforesaid on which the rebate of tolls may be claimed shall be shown to have been originally shipped for Montreal or for some other port east of Montreal, and shall be shown to have been carried to Montreal or to some port east of Montreal, and actually sent out of the country. That the right to this rebate shall not be lost by reason of intermediate transhipment, provided that the place of such transhipment is one within the Dominion of Canada. That the right to this rebate shall extend to any portions of cargoes lightered at Port Colborne and reshipped at Port Dalhousie, and also to shipments of the above-named products made from any Canadian Lake Ontario port.
