Excerpt from 73d Annual Report of the Interstate Commerce Commission: Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1959 This report follows the pattern of the previous two reports. Wherever practicable, the material is on a Government fiscal year basis, but certain statistics are on a calendar year basis because they can be compiled more readily that way, and because they facilitate comparisons with related information for past calendar years. The report does, however, contain references to legislative actions during the last session of the Congress, which adjourned September 15, 1959, and legislative recommendations for consideration by the next Congress. The report again includes a summary of the highlights of the year's activity in transportation and various factors affecting it. Detailed information on the various phases of this activity is provided in the subject chapters which follow.
