Philadelphia Public Ledger reports that inefficiencies in cargo hauling from docks to appraisers’ stores led Surveyor Kurtz to seek local trucking authority. He claimed cheaper options by private firms and proposed the city-run service to cut costs from about twenty cents to ten cents per package, potentially saving $8,000 to $10,000 annually.
