miles, an average of twenty-one persons
to the square mile. It is to this class that
the Postmaster General would extend
free delivery, and he estimates the cost
at $20,555,600 a year, the average cost
of about $t a head having been ascer­
tained bv various methods of investi­
gation. To meet this cost it is estimated
that $6,773,376 would come from post
offices discontinued and from increased
receipts, and the remainder, oyer $13,-
000,000, could be obtained by reforming
the pound rates that cause a heavy an­
nual loss without any public equivalent.
The plan proposed would insure free
delivery to 52,000,000 of the 77,000,000
inhabitants of the United States. As the
more thinly settled section filled up the
system could be correspondingly extend­
ed. Nearly all of New England would be
covered now, about 90 per cent in Penn­
sylvania, 80 per cent in Illinois, 65 per
cent in Missouri and 55 per cent in Kan­
sas. General delivery throughout the
whole of England is an old story and an
indispensable part of business and social
life. Postmaster General Smith wants
to make a comprehensive start in rural
free delivery in this country and to meet
the cost mainly by a reform of certain
rates that Congress should have insti­
tuted before this. The subject of rural
free delivery deserves the careful con­
sideration of all concerned.
