obowad that the expenditures for the year end
inc the 1st of July, 1923, exceeded the reve-
-nues of the department, upwards OF SSo,UUo.-
Between that time and the following March,
when he left the department, the Gontraets hao
been made for the new routes, established by the
law of 1925 involving very CONSIDERABLE IN
craaee of expense The present POSTMASTER
General took charge of the department IN April,
1920 and his first report showed that the eX2en-
ses of the department for the year ending July
LIST. 1929, were nearly $4,000 more than all lis
revenues for the same period Thus 1t appears
that the course of administering the department
which Produced the deficit in its means, oegan
as early as 1927, or the commencement OF 1870,
and has continued from that period 10 the close
of the last year. To meet the eXlgencles OF tle
case. the Postmaster General resorted 10 loans
from Banks, on which he had paid interest prl-
or to the lst April last, $l4,570 A. and the FUR
Their amount which accrued to the LIST May, was
$3.50, making together the sum OF $2O0oo AZ
interest TO the 1st Of May 1884, as per document
No. d. These loans were made on the faith and
credit of the Post Office Department, and not OF
the Treasury; yet while the moneys OF the Irea-
sury are abundant, it does not seem to comport
with good economy for one department OF the
Government to be paying interest to Banks
for the use of money, which money is deposited
in Banks by another department OF the govern
ment without interest. The committee mere
fore applied by letter to the Postmaster General
| for statement of his opinion of the amount
which would relieve his department from pecu-
mary embarrassment. In answer to this inqul~
nv. he stated that if of the moneys formerly
paid by that department into the Treasury, the
sum of $500 could now be placed atthe dis
posal of his department, it would effect the de-
Sired relief and that he should be able to restore
it to the Treasury in the following instruments,
without injury to the successful administration
of the department.

And the whole deficit is, 1922, 100 4S
In the above estimate of 100000, due to the
Department on the 1st of April last, of hostages
which accrued prior to the 1st of January, there
is nopossibility of testing its accuracy by any
other estimate, because it is not an estimate of
the hostages that accrued from the 1st of Octo-
Der, to the 3lst of December, 1888, the greater
portion of which had been collectedbefore the
lst of April, but 1t embraces all the remaining
balances due to the Department on the 1st OF
April, of all the hostages which had accrued
from the beginning Of the Government, so far
as they are believed to be available. 1t must
be obvious, therefore, that no correct estimate
can be made of their amount, without going
over every account, many thousands in num-
Der, striking the balance of each, and adding
these balances together. This we have not
done, and the labor which it would REQUIRE is so
great as TO render it impracticable at this time.
