Rural Mail Delivery.

When the free delivery of mail in
fal districts was first proposed the
loa was quite generally ridiculcd,
aditTequired several years of cf-
to obtain an experiment for it..
Ehe plan has worked much better
than was expected even by some of
those who were willing to have it
tried. 5E#..
1t has been made the, subject of a
special report by First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath. This
official is convinced that rural free
delivery has passed the experimental
stage and may now be considered
an established success.
ss 1t begon in 1896 with an appro-
priation of $4,000 and 44 expert
mental routes. An appropriation of
T$3OO,O00 for the current year has
provided 383 routes in 10 States
and Territories, and the collection
and distribution of over nine million
pieces Of mail matter by 301 carriers.
A good many Of these routes already
pay for Themselves by the increased
postal business which has resulted
from them. One in West Chester,
Pa, had a balance Of 1903 to its
credit at the end of nine months,
after paying expenses. Among the
results of this rural service are in
creased postal receipts, increased
value of farm lands, improvement of
country roads, better prices for farm
products (because the farmers arc in
closer touch with their markets), =,
and an abatement of the monotony
OF country life.
Rural free delivery has been re-
ceiSed with great favor wherever
tried, and it is probable that Con-
gress will provide for its extension
