More than 4,000,0 900 American farm
ers now have the benefit of the rural
free delivery, and the amount of mail
they receive has been more than dou-
bled since the system was adopted.
During the past year the system cost
the government about $24, 200, 900, and
with this amount the Postoffice De-
partment has been able to give excel
lent satisfaction. There are still 700,-
600 square miles not covered by the
rural delivery system. To accomplish
this work it will require the employ
ment of $4,000 to $4,000 carriers, in
addition to those now employed,
making the entire force when the ex-
tension is completed about 10000.
The department expects that this
will be accomplished within the next
three years.
