When Mr. James became postmaster
general he began an investigation of the
-'star service" and found that j., 1880 there
were 9.225 star routes for service, on
which $500. 900 had been appropriated
OF this number SO routes had been let for
$727, l59 They had been increased from
this sum to S?,So2 PA. leaving only So

was necessary to learn that they composed
