POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
InsuIar Postal Service.

In restoring peaceful conditions, orderly
rule and civic progress in Cuba, Porto
Rico and, so far as practicable in the
Philippines, the rehabilitation of the
postal service has been an essential and
important part of the work. 1t became
necessary to provide mail facilities DoIh
for our forces of occupation and for The
native population. To meet this require
ment has involved a substantial Recon-
strIction. The existing systems were SO
f~ragmentary, defective and inadequate
that a new and comprehensive orgauiza-
ton had to be created.
Same system in Porto Rico.
Though Porto Rico and the Philippines
hold a different relation to the United
States, yet for convenience of administra-
ton. the same principle of an auton-
omous system has been extended to them.
The development of the service in all of
the islands has been rapid AMI successful.
