Rural parcels post bill eyed for national delivery plan
The New York World reports a delayed act for rural delivery parcels post proposed by Senator Buruban. The plan would cover about a quarter of the nation with 28,000 free delivery routes, delivering foodstuffs, housing, drugs, and dry goods under generous terms. The initial rate would charge one pound and 2 cents for each additional pound, with an eleven pound package priced higher than several European rates, prompting debate on post office reform and foreign delivery comparisons.
