Pacific cable subsidy debate limits to one hundred thousand
April 21 House Committee on Commerce discussed the Pacific cable proposal. A plan set a subsidy cap of 100000 dollars per year for twenty years. A Michigan member offered to authorize the Postmaster General to invite bids from cable companies for a twenty year U.S. coast to Hawaii and Japan service under Congress’s conditions. The Postmaster General will report bidding results at next session and award to the lowest responsible bidder.
