Reductions In Express Rates Take Effect Nationwide
Sweeping express rate cuts approved by the United States Interstate Commerce Commission go into effect yesterday in Minneapolis and nationwide. Reductions of 16 to 25 percent are expected to save U S consumers about 26 million dollars annually. The changes apply to many packages under fifty pounds, with larger shipments largely unchanged. Over 200 miles, mail will be cheaper than express for packages over four pounds. The commission says increased parcel post business will offset rate differences, and the rates are provisional for two years pending review.
