Nation's Living Bill to Fall as Freight Rates Cut
Government experts estimate a near one billion dollar yearly reduction in living costs due to a 10 percent cut in freight rates by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The change should save about ten dollars annually for every person, with total freight costs dropping from two to four hundred million dollars per year. The Department of Treasury will ensure the rate cut reaches consumers, similar to wartime pass-throughs, and the measure is expected to take effect by July 1.
