FREE DELIVERY CONDITIONS.
Report of Commission Which Inves-
tiSated Them in Large Cities.

The commission which investigated the
free delivery conditions and needs Of the
post offices of New York. Chicago Philadel-
phia and Baltimore has made report to
| the Postmaster General.
AS to New York the report recommends
the allowance of $4,000 for the employ
ment of additional carriers for the current
fiscal year an allowance for one carrier at
Westchester and the granting of suff1-
cient auxiliary force to maintain service
during emergencies. The committee urges
a reduction in the office time Of the carriers
and improvement of the service in the bus
mess districts by making the first morning
delivery there earlier. The latter plan has
been tried in Boston with good results. The
New York free delivery service is of
higher grade than in any other city, which
the committee says is justified by the vast
population. immense postal revenues and
concentration of population and business in
a comparatively small area This superior
service Is recommended to be continued. but
not increased except in single routes, and
then only when imperative.
/ 1t Is recommended that efforts be made
to bring about the equipment of every
apartment house or fiat house in New York
city with individual vestibule boxes A CEN
sus of such houses not so equipped is sug-
gested to be taken by carrier routes and
compiled by stations. The gross receipts of
the New York post office are shown to
nave increased over DO per cent since lo5o,
while the free delivery expenditures have
increased but II per cent and the force of
carriers 9 per cent. The gross receipts at
New York for the fiscal year ending July 1
last were 50, 6S1. go.
Concerning Chicago, hescommission rec
ommends an allowance Of $19.6J0 for addi-
tional carriers this year and an emergency
allowance to enable the postmaster to give
efficient service to the different national
committees located at Chicago during the
political campaign. Attention is called to
the large area served by the Chicago office
and the necessity for carriers to cross I'M
occupied territory in serving their districts
