Nail transportation on Subsidized
Roads.
WASHINGTON, October 23i.-It is esti- |
mated that nearly 81, 900, 600 will be required
to pay for mail service or subsidized routes
for the fiscal year 1882 SO. Serious inroads
into the postal revenue, therefore, are sntici- |
pated, for up to the present time the cost of |
mail transportation over branches of subsi- |
dized railroads has never been charged to |
postal expenses, but has been credited to the |
interest account of the railroad, in accordance |
with the Thurman Act. The major portion |
of the money to be returned to the roads will |
be secured by the Pacific Railroad Company. |

sphere, he held the post of Secretary of State.
