heating apparatus in the postal cars.

Postal Service, replied for the Government
and made statement showing that the
Middle and Eastern States railroads receiv-
ed an advance of twenty per cent. since
1867, and in some instances on tho Western
roads high as 100 and even $50 Eper cent.
Davis said be considered postal cars a ne
cessity because of the time saved in deliver
ing mail matter, and the relief given to the
large postoffices which Otherwise would
have to be provided with additional apart
ments for distributing and regulating the
mails.
