The New Postal BaII.

Washington, 2O-A bill, reported from
the post-ofice committee ofthe House.
to-day, proposes most important change
IN the method of paying for the expe-
ditlOn Of star routes. l. provides that
the existing law governing the expedl.
ton OF fast service between terminal
points shall be repealed, and that here
after when IL becomes necessary to in
crease speed on any route the route
shall be advertised 60 new bids may be
submitted by any person for the changed
service. Under the old law the pay on
ring routes was enormously raised the
sole basis of the fraudulent competition
being sworn statements of contractors as
TO the additional number OF men and
horses required for the faster service.
The Congressional investigation which
followed Brady's demand for two million
dollars more resulted in the enactment of
law limiting the pay for expedition to
fifty per cent, of the original contract.
Attorney General MacVeagh held that
under this law The pay for expedition
might not be more than fifty per cent.
of the pay in the contract though ad-
ditional might have been ordered. The
bill reported from tie post Office COM
mittee provides for the repeal Of this
statute and substitutes for the old law
one that service shall be readvertised.
The report is accompanied by q letter
from the second assistant postmaster
general to the effect tina: the existing laws
do not give the department proper basis
for an allowance that shall be just to
both government and contractor.
