STAR ROUTE SERVICES.
Additional Legislation Wanted.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.
The decision rendered yesterday by the at
torney general, to the effect that the post
master general has the power, under the law.
to refuse to accept the bids for star route ser
vices where an examination shows that the
sureties are not sound. This promises to in
volve the departing 1t in a sea of perplexities.
1t an examination is made in any one case
the contractor would undoubtedly, and with
show of justice demand the same examina-
ton OF the remainder of the contracts. and
it is manifestly impossible for the postmaster
general to make satisfactory examination
of the sureties on bids aggregating to &C. 900
or 10000 in number at each letting. This
would be a task of many months. Addition
al legislation on the subject will probably be
asked for by the postmaster general.
