The State Cooperation Commission ordered 11 railways to cut freight rates on tanning extracts and materials between Wilmington and western North Carolina points. The new rate will be 24 cents per hundred pounds less than current Norfolk to North Carolina rates, reflecting Wilmington being about 10 miles closer. The Norfolk rate was set 3.5 cents per hundred pounds below Baltimore to North Carolina, so Wilmington rates to similar groups should be slightly lower, the commission said.
