THE COST OF DELIVERY.

A new investigation bearing on
the high cost of living in the United
States is to be undertaken by the
federal bureau of the census. The
inquiry will be directed toward de-
termining how far the cost of cart
age in cities is responsible for the in
creasing retail prices of commodi-
ties IN common use. Experts of the
census bureau, it is said, believe that
the city delivery system even more
than railroad freight rates figures
largely in the high cost of living.
Provision for the expense of the in
vestigatien has already been made
and work will be commenced as soon
rs Secretary of Commerce Redfeld
gives formal authorization for it.
