A fLATrKRING RKpORT
The annual report of Second Assistant
Postmaster-General Elmer is nearly com
pleted. Contrary 10 predictions which
have been made, II will show a decided in
crease OF mileage in the star-route service
for the last fiscal year, as compared with
the year ending June 30th, 1880, when the
average mileage was thought TO hay,
reached its maximum. The report will
also show that notwithstanding this in
crease of mileage, the cost of maintaining
the service has been less than in 1880 by
more than 100000. On the basi.
OF one trip per week there wer,
S5,3S7 more miles Travelled in The
star-route service during the last fiscal yeai
than during the fiscal year ended June 10th
1850, and this increase in mileage was at
tanned with u great decrease in expendi
lures, II is estimated by General Elmel
that the star-route service for the nscal
year ending June Both, 1881, for which esti
mates will be submitted in his forthcoming
report, will cost less than the service durip,
the current fiscal year Of lSS2.S3, by about
S5i3,Ss0.
