Report of Assistant Postmaster General on the Subect Washington, Nov. 20. First Assist ant Postmaster General Johnson, in liis annual report, Mays tlio yearly in crease in the postal revenues has re sulted in tho free delivery service be coming self sustaining. Of the gross postal revenues of the United Btutcit for the past fiscal year, $74,205,301 euino from 80(1 free dollvery cities. Tho romaiiilug il,(UX) presidential oIIIcph yielded $10,0(13,252, while the 72,471) fourth class lHistolllcos pro duced $18,1113,610. Mr. Johnson says that tho fuel that the postal service lit the largest cities is practically m feet is the explanation of why the annual por contngo of increases in the revenue of the free delivery postolllcos should be three times as large us tliut of the fourth class olllces. As rural free delivery readies out into the country, giving equal facilities with out regur.l to locality, ho says, it In creases the revenues at u rate at least equal to that maintained ii the free delivery cities, whore, during the past fivo years, it lias averaged 8 iter cent. At the end of the present fiscal year 8,000 rural routes will be In successful operation, 0,000 being in effect by Deccmlicr 2. The latter figure repre sents just 50 per cent of the applica tions for such service filed since Its inauguration flvu years ago. The in dexible policy is announced of hero after avoiding tho maintenance of un necessary iwatolllces and suHirlltious star routes contemporaneously with rural free dollvery routes. On July 1 last tho force of 4,301 rural carriers was serving 2,810,044 people at u fraction of over 75 cents per capita, and on DeceniW 2 next 4,000,000 of tho rural population will bo enjoying free delivery. Every establishment of a route, the report says, is followed promptly by a steady Increase in the voltuno of mail both delivered and collected. Tho city free delivery servico now embraces 80(1 cities and towns, in cluding four in tho new insular pos sessions, all theso employing an army of 10,389 uniformed curriers, who collect and carry the mails two or more times each working day to 32,000,000 patrons. Tho total cost to tlio department per annum for this service is 50 cents er capita. 8ENATOR MITCHELL READY. Oregon Man Has a Urge Number ol Bills for Coming Session of Congress. Washington, Deo. 3.
