Rural Delivery.

| IN o'hool iSPOVt VI OoluIdStC
General Payne, in speaking of tn,
rural free delivery service, say
that it is no longer in the expert
mental stage, and undoubtedl,
congress will continue to increase
the appropriation for this service
until all the people of the country
are reached, where it is thickly
settled enough to warrant it. The
estimates OF the department are tc
the effect that the available terri
tory for this service embraces
about 900, 900 square miles, or
one-third of the country's area
exclusive of Alaska. The 1880
routes now in operation cover
about one-third of the available
territory. From this it will be
seen that it will require p, 900
employees additional to those now
in service, to cover this territory.
II congress shall make the neces-
sary appropriations, it is believed
that within the next three years
the extension of the service will
have been completed.
The Postmaster General further
says that millions of our people
live more or less remote from any
postoffice, and very large pro
portion of them are not able to
buy money orders or bank drafts
without great inconvenience. 1t is
not unreasonable to expect from
the government that it will provide
an easy. convenient and safe
method to transmit small sums,
say So or less in amount, without
putting the sender to the incon
venience and expense which now
obtains in the purchase of draft
or postof1ice money order.
The total receipts in 1901 were
$III,63I,Io3 SO, and in 1902,
the receipts were $121,84S,-
o47.26, The expenditures in
1901 were Satisfactorily; and
in 1902 the expenditures were
$124.685 ,oS7.o7.

delivery thus actively progressing
