REGARDING BIG OFFICES
Washington. Feb % Cspecian.-Henry A Castle.
Auditor OF the Postofice Department. calls atteu-
tion 10 the frequent statements put for
ward by large cities that their local postoces pay
a certain alleged large profit to the Government
This assertion is based the fact that the total
revenues OF such offices always exceed the ag-
gregate expenditures for purely local purposes
Claims for additional allowances for expenditures
on public buildings and other purposes are based
on the msapprehension that this excess OF revenue
is in reality a profit The Auditor says il is no such
thing There is profit at any postoffice in the
United States. nor there be so long as the
aggregate business Of the Department is conducted
loss
collected. but these collections must take care of
the expenses OF the local Office. and in addition pay
for the transportation of the mail originating at
that Office through to its destination. 1t would be
absurdIy illogical 10 credit terminal railway office
with all it's receipts for freights collected. and
sumo that all such collections above disbursements
for clerk hire a net profit 10 the railway
system taking account OF the cost Of transport
ing the freight Also. It would be absurd to say
that passenger station or ticket office made for
the railroad company a net profit to the amount of
Its sales OF tickets above local salaries paid The
entire postal system is at loss
The large cities have many extra expenses which
not strictly OF a local character and these
should be literally provided for. New-York City,
for example. is the headquarters OF many depart
ments of the postal service which have nothing to
do with the local business Of the office These are
provided for by extra allowances but is not proper
or truthful TO assert still more Of them on the
ground that the records OF the office in the Auditor
report show a large profit aecrung to the Govern
msnt from the business OF that city
10 lessen the significance OF the fact that the ratio
OF local expense TO revenue Is much less In some
offices than in others OF the large cities OF the
country, 81. Louis seems 70 have the most econou-
tcally administered postofice. and at the same time
