Costs of War Shelling Hit Hard by American Rates
The Philadelphia Ledger reports English battle shelling averaged 1,000 shells per minute for over two days, versus Gettysburg’s 160 per minute for under two hours. It notes an American firm producing 5,000,600 shells at about $13 each, wasting $13,000 per minute, and suggests the public bears the fiscal burden. It compares Rockefeller’s rumored $50 million annual income to roughly $100 per minute. The piece jokes that many Rockefellers would be needed to cover the ammunition cost and hints at home taxpayers funding the war.
