PORT DISTRICT IN INVESTIGATING FREIGHT RATES IN SAN DI EGO AREA
FOR THE PURPOSE OF EQUALIZING THEM WITH OTHER MAJOR PORT CITIES
ON THE PACIFIC COAST
WHEREAS, the rates charged for freight shipments on
the Pacific Coast of the United States are not equal as between
the cities and counties therein, and
WHEREAS, freight rates within the county of San Diego
are generally higher than those of other major port cities on
the Pacific Coast of the United States, and

affects San Diego County's and the Unified Port District's com-
petitive position in shipping, manufacturing, processing, fab-
rication distribution and increases our consumers' cost of
living, and
WHEREAS, the Unified Port District is vitally interested
in the freight rates of the county of San Diego and is the best
equipped of all entities within the county to carry out the
proper investigations of these rates that are necessary, and
WHEREAS, the Unified Port District and their departments,
staffs, and facilities are well qualified to analyse, investigate
and effectuate a change in those matters relating to freight
rates,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of National City, California, that we request the Unified
Port District to assume the responsibility of investigating the
freight rates of the San Diego area and make every effort to
equalize these freight rates with the other major port cities
of the Pacific Coast of the United States, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of National City pledges its support and assistance to the
Unified Port District in this project.
