fers to the growth of the free delivery
service. and says: II believe 1t is good
policy for congress and for this de-
partment to foster the extension of
this service by judicious appropriations
and judicious administration"
Concerning the abuses of second-class
mail matter, Mr. Wilson says: Il can
add little to the reasons given by Post
mastcr-Gencral Bissell and Postmaster
General Wanamaker for amendments
to the law as to second-class matter,
imperatively needed TO save the postal
service from the enormous abuses and
consequent enormous loss of revenue,
which no regulation of the department
or watchfnlness of its officials can
guard against. respectfully and
earnestly recommend to congress a
careful scrutiny into this abuse and
such remedial legislation as shall be
deemed necessary and effective for its
correction"
Upon another feature of the second
class matter the postmaster.general
says: 1.-THE volume of second-class
matter passing through the mails in
creases rapidly, and has reached such
proportions as to seriously retard the
distributions of mails in the larger
post offices and railroad post offices.
The department, through its local rep
resentatives, has repeatedly urged pub.
fishers to separate their publications
by states and routes where the quanti-
ty for any one state or territory is suf-
ficient to justify it. before sending
them to the mailing offices, and has
cndeavored to show them that their
own interests would be subserved
