TO CUT OUT COST j
OF MIDDLEMAN |
—
I
BILL TO EXTEND OPERATIONS OF
PARCEL POST SYSTEM
Raising Weight Limit to 100 Pounds.
With Special Provision for Farm
Products
The fact that a three pound package
of butter for which a farmer of his
acquaintance received 72 cents and
which Representative David J. I^ewis
paid $1.05 for upon its receipt sug
gested to the congressman one reason
for the high cost of living and its rem
edy.
To eliminate middlemen's charges
and lower transportation costs by a
more extensive system of parcel post
is Mr. Lewis' proposal to reduce living
expenses. Mr. Lewis, who represents
a Maryland district in congress, was
the author of the parcel post bill
which, with some amendments made
bv the senate, produced the system
now in operation.
The changes he proposes in the
present law are as follows:
Raise the weight limit to 100
pounds.
No weight limit on shipments de
livered to the railway terminal by
the consignor and collected from it
by the consignee.
