House Passes Rayburn Bill Repeals Rail Recapture Clause
The Rayburn bill to repeal the rail recapture clause of the transportation act was approved by the House Interstate Commerce Committee. It would remove the requirement for railroads to contribute earnings over five and three quarters percent to a revaluing fund and allow refunds of 13 million dollars while relieving 361 million dollars previously deemed due. The bill shifts rate making toward factors including traffic movement, public interest, and maintaining low costs for adequate service.
