The annual report Of VIM. F. Was, POST
master General, for the year ending June 3d.
1885, shows a considerable increase in the de-
ficiency OF the postal revenues to sustain the
cost OF the public service During the past
two years a cash surplus Of nearly @2,0OOO1 /
has been changed to an outlay OF over 81
1000 surplus OF cost; Or reckoning the
amounts also credited 10 the Pacific railroad
companies for mail transportation, the differ
ence in the pecuniary results Of the service
realized during the two years exceeds 50, 4OJ,-
600. This is expa ned by decrease OF 81
947, 78 in the revenues Of the department,
and to an increase OF So ,466, $3.50 in the ex-
penditures, nearly half a million Of which
went to the Pacific road. The decrease is ac-
counted for by the diminishing result to the
revenue Of the two-cent postage, while the in
crease is generally explained by largely ex-
tended service. Mr.. Villas, after stating these
factt, still believes the sery CO will become
self-sustaining again. He argues that tho
revenues have been seriously crippled by a
long season OF business depression, as shown
in the falling of Of money orders and stamp
sales, but there has been a satisfactory in
crease in box rents, and he predicts the COM
ing year will see q commercial revival Dur
ing the year 2,02l new post-oiiices were es-
tablished, making the total number 81, 252
The increase has been chiefly at the South.
