Particular attention is given in the
report to the rural free mail delivery
service. The estimates of the depsrt.
ment are to the effect that the available
territory for this service embraces
about l,00O,oo0 square miles, or one
third of the country's area, exclusive
of Alaska. Tho ll,G5o routes row in
operation cover about one third of the
available territory. From this il will
be seen that it will require $1,000
employees additional to cover this terri.

With the carriers salary fixed at
5000 per annum the annual gross cost
of the completed rural free delivery
service will approximate S24, coo, 600.
The people are demanding the service
with impatient earnestness, and this
demand is being vigorously supported
by their Representatives in Congress-.
The rapid extension OF the service will.
Of course, increase the deficits during
the next three years. After it is com.
pleted the revenues will quickly feel
the effect of its establishment, and
whatever deficit may be occasional
will gradually disappear, the revenues
tn the rural districts probably increas-
ing tivefold after receiving the free
service.
