WESTERN RAILROADS TO SEEK 5 PERCENT GENERAL I.C.C° INSTITUTES NEW RATE-MAKING PROCEED-FREIGHT RATE INCREASE: All of the Western ING UNDER RAILROAD ACT OF 1976: The Inter-Railroads Have agreed to request I.C.C.approval for a 5 percent rate increase ap-plying on all commodities moving from~ to,or within the western territory. The pro-posed increase will not apply where in-creases of 5 percent or more were author-ized in Ex Parte 318 and increases exceed-ing § percent in X-318 would not be cutback to 5 percent. The new increase isdesigned primarily to apply to all points

The purpose oi" Ex Parte 326 is toimplement existing regulations by conform-ing to the new statutory time limit within

which had previously been excluded from the which rail carriers must incorporate rateX-~I~ increase because of the exception increases published in master increase tar-filed by the Southern Pacific and compet- iffs into their basic rate tariffs withining carriers. The S.P. has now agreed to two years after ~he initial publication ofthe new increase provided the Eastern and the rate or within two years after a changeSouthern Carriers join in ending all exclu- in any rate is approved by the Commission.sions or hold-downs of under 5 percent.Justification given for the new rate in-crease was to offset a cost of living ad-justment of 12 cents and an hour effectiveJanuary I~ and a general wage increase of3 percent~ which took effect April i.

This legislation will require carriers toexpedite their tariff updating process andhelp eliminate the need for the tariff userto refer to several master tariffs to deter-mine the correct charges on a shipment.

T HE PORT OF HOUSTON is at the head ofnavigation on the Houston Ship Channel,

a 50-mile long man-made channel that bringsdeep water into the city which was built onthe banks of Buffalo Bayou. Pioneer Hous-tonians realized that their town would needa port if it were to achieve greatness.

With perseverance through the years, thebayou was dredged, little by little, until thePort of Houston was able to welcome ocean-going ships in November, 1914. The firstregularly scheduled steamship service wasinaugurated August 22, 1915, when theSATILLA docked at the Turning Basin,making Houston a port for internationaltrade.

The oil industry, which was developing at

that time, was attracted to the Ship Channelbecause it offered a protected area whereships could load outbound oil and refinedproducts. The oil industry expanded into thepetrochemical field and all of this attractedeven more industry, giving Houston what is :̄called the "Fabulous 50 Miles" along theShip Channel. Cargoes moving over the pri-vately-owned docks along the channel accountfor about half of the Port of Houston’s totaltonnage.

The map above is part of a newly-revisedbrochure called "The Fabulous Fifty Miles."Copies of this brochure are available fromthe Port of Houston’s Trade DevelopmentDepartment, P. O. Box 2562, HouSton, Texas77001.

Shorter Customs Exam Is AimNo matter where you go on a foreign vacation or for busi-

ness. you will be clearing U.S. Customs on return to the UnitedStates.

During 1976 more travelers, baggage, and belongings thanever are expected to pass through Customs says U.S. Commis-sioner of Customs Vernon D. Acree. He urges all internationaltravelers to know before they go about Customs regulations.This will enable Customs Inspectors to complete most baggage

examinations with little or no delay.Travelers are urged also to be familiar with the regulation

governing the movement of money and monetary instrumentsinto and out of the country. Although coin, currency, travelerschecks, money orders, and negotiable instruments in bearerform may be freely taken in and out of the U.S., persons hav-ing more than $5,000 must file a report with U.S. Customswhen they enter or depart the country.
