Postal Receipts Fall Far Short Of the
Department EXPENDITURES.
Washington July 3. Capt. Castle.
the auditor Of the treasury for the
postofice department yesterday made
the official estimate that the postal
deficiency for the fiscal year Just
closed will be $4,61z203. The deficit
for the previous fiscal year was 81
961, ITO. This big Increase is attributed
to the enormous increase In expend-
lures for the rural free delivery
service during the year. The receipts
of the postal service for the year were
1874, 26S609, and the expenditures
$i3S.8S5,812. The deficiency In the
free delivery service is not yet def
nitely known beyond the estimate
made weeks ago. The postmaster gen.
eral thought that it would be 1921, 900
by the close of the fiscal year. The
deficiency, however, may prove con-
siderably larger than that figure.
