Pipeline Rates for Crude Oil Face Scrutiny Across Industry
An Interstate Commerce Commission examiner in Fresno reported that pipeline rates for crude oil transport are unreasonably high for the service. He said 1938 reductions only partially alleviated the issue and that minimum tender requirements of 10 000 barrels were unreasonable. The commission may require 37 pipelines to justify future rates not exceeding 65 percent of December 31 1933 levels.
