Parcels Post Legislation Could Be Tried on Rural Routes
Washington reports parcels post legislation to be taken up by Congress with hearings starting June 14. Bills favor a rural route trial of packages up to 11 pounds at about 12 cents per pound, aiming to ease the post office deficit and imitate foreign systems. Proponents cite profits of express firms and railroad charges, while opponents warn of competition concerns.
