It is Said that Now ia the Time
to Establish Them
The Annual Report of the Postmaster Gem

strong advocacy of postal savings de-

for their establishment and that the
adoption of well organized system
would confer great boon upon a
large number of people and ultimately
be of inestimable benefit to the whole
country. Following is an abstract OF
the report:

dtions which prevailed all over the United
States during the first three-fourths Of that
period There has been no extravaganza Of
expenditure save that obligated by law. Reit-

postal revenues and the people by second class
mail matter carriage regulations, the enact
nlent by congress OF some measure to remedy
the wrong is urged AS to this the postmaster
. general says: If this was done there would
be an end to postal deficits and the service
could be enlarged and popularized by broad
extension OF free delivery without infringe
ment upon the general resources OF the govern
