RURAL free delivery cost during the
past year about $24,000,000. With this
amount the post office department has
been able to give most excellent satisfac-
ton. There are still 100000 square
miles not covered by the rural delivery
system. To accomplish this work it will
require the employment of $4,000 to 27,-
900 carriers in addition to those now en-
ployed, making the entire force when the
extension is completed about 10000. 1t
is expected that this will be accomplish
ed within the next three years.
