WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 7-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker was very indignant to-
day when he learned that during his absence
on vacation an ill-informed clerk in one of tho
bureaus Of tho Postoiiice Department had
given out false information 10 the press that
the free delivery experiments are not a Sue
cess BE caused an examination Of the latest
report from these experiments to be made
and found that they were succeeding beyond
his most sanguine expectations, and in way
utterly to confound the critics Of the expert
ment. IL is already an established fact that
the increased revenue from offices where
the. free delivery experiment IS
on trial almost pays for the
increased expenditure. and :; is hoped by
JudiciOus management that on the average the
experiment will entirely pay for itself, as some
OF the offices more than DO That now. Mr..
Wanamsker has it in mind 20 present 10
the next Congress 4 scheme by which. when
given sum is asked for FREQ delivery in q
given community, the sum being calculated on
the area 10 be served. the population and
other such iteus. II IS almost a Mathematical
certainty that the sum. almost, if not quite as
large. would be added 10 the net earnings Of
tho Office in question. Even II the free deliy-
cry does not quite pay for itself 10 Is likely
that the Postmaster-General will ask Con-
gress 70 consider the question whether the
rural districts OF the country may not prop
erly expect this slight contribution 20 their
postal iacilitios, when in 90 many quarters
they have up to the present been considered
so limited.
