Government Aids Roads to Buy Cars
The Interstate Commerce Commission announced immediate appropriation of 125 million dollars from a 300 million revolving fund to buy rolling stock. Allocations include 75 million for freight cars and 50 million for locomotives with additional funds for additions, betterments, and maturing obligations. Plans support a national equipment corporation and loans authorized to aid such a corporation. Opposition to a general freight rate increase weakened as shippers forego detailed cross-examination of carrier data.
