Committee Report Sets New Grain Weighing Rates
A subcommittee of the Weighing Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce will present a plan at today’s grain men meeting to raise weighing rates from 65 to 1 per car. The reform would fund the bureau and pay the weigher, severing the weighing system from elevators and relieving them of annual costs. Railroads would pay 25 cents per car, replacing the current 185 dollars monthly levy, with some favoring 50 cents and railroads arguing 15 cents suffices. After a three hour session a compromise was reached and ratification by the grain trade is needed.
