POSTAL SERVICE.

In restoring peaceful conditions, or.
derby rule. and civic progress In Cuba,
Porto Rico. and. 80 far as practicable, In
the Philippines. the rehabilitation OF
postal service has been an important
part OF the work. II became necessary to
provide mail facilities both for our forces
OF occupation and for the native popula-
ti0n. To meet this requirement has in
volyed q substantial reconstruction. The
existing systems were 80 fragmentary,
defective an inadequate that new and
comprehensive organization had to be
created.
The domestic postal service continues
TO grow with extraordinary rspidity.
The expenditures and the revenues will
each exceed $780, 900 during the cur
rent year. Fortunately, since the revival
OF prosperous times the revenues have
grown much faster than the expendi-
eures, and there Is every indication that
short period will witness obliterstiOn
OF the annual deficit.
