Parcels Post Clash Shapes Senate Fight Over Roads Feature
Senate debate centered on a parcels post plan led by Representative Lewis of Maryland. Senator Gardner of Maine criticized the Bourne measure as inadequate and urged a broad parcels post system with government takeover of express firms to cut costs, extend weights, and standardize rates while preserving treasury protection. The Postoffice Appropriation bill, reported to the Senate, removes the good roads provision and adopts a zone based parcels post, with rail pay increased and a commission to study highways before any funding.
