Note rate on common blue bricks is 1s per 1000. They weigh about 4 tons to the 1000 so rate is 3d per ton - less than any other Navigation. Rate on Copers and paving bricks is 4d per ton dead weight. Our flooring quarries, tiles and garden edging we charge 1s per ton The Act empowers us to charge on all traffic entering this canal from the G&B Canal as if the same entered at Framilode, therefore charging on 8 miles The charge of 3d per ton on the 8 miles is 3/8d per ton per mile. We could not do it for any less.
