New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island Connecticut and New York, made in the
Spring oil 1919, showed an Increase OF annual com
pensation OF 500 98l being increase gilmore than
eighteen per cent. upon the previous cost OF that

The new contracts made under the lettings OF

embracing the State of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas
and the Territories exhibit still greater Increase

This increase is estimated in the contract Office
at 9236,GgG per annlm, being about % per cent
advance upon the annual cost otthat section under
the contracts in force up to the end OF the last fiscal
year. OF this, about 10 and four ttths per cent is
attributable to the increase OF service IN that sec
ton and about II and one fifth per cent. to the IN
creased rate OF compensation provided for In the
late contracts.

The estimates upon this item and that OF the
additional service yet to be ordered, are made
upon very uncertain data. Indeed, the extent
and cost Of the mail service, as we'll as the reve-
nues of this Department, are subject to constant
fluctuations, and the best considered and most
careful estimates furnish only reasonapie
approximation to the actual results.
The expenditures for the current year are esti-
mated as follows:
