Congressman Murdock cites false mail weighing for $40 million loss
Representative Victor Murdock of Kansas charged on the house floor that the government has lost about $40,000,000 in ten years due to a flawed mail weighing system. He explained that railroad mail contracts were based on weighed averages that excluded Sundays, inflating payments. He cited a New York route example where Sunday mails skewed the national average to seventeen trips weekly, arguing the true rate would have reduced a particular New York Central payment by about $257,000 annually.
