other congress of recent years has to
its credit record of more substantial
achievement for the public good than
this, over the lower branch of which
you presided. / congratulate you and
it, and wish you well wherever your
future may lead you. Sincerely yours,

100000 for the current year, making
a difference of more than $50,000,00C
in excess of the appropriations by
the last congress for the postal serv-
ice. This, he explained, arises from
the enormous increase ia expendi'
lures caused by increased postal
business. Then, too, he said, the ru.
raj free delivery service required
large sums. There was, he said, a
smaller deficiency than there has
been in many years in the postal re.
ceipts as compared with the eXpendi.
lures.
Rivers and Harbors.
He called attention to the fact that
the last congress passed no river and
harbor bill. In the first session OF
this congress, he said, $27,0O0,0O0 was
appropriated for rivers and harbors
in addition to which $2O,OO0,000 was
appropriated in the sundry civil bill
for carrying out contracts. He said
that while it appears that the appro.
priations of this congress have been
largely in excess of those of the last
congress, the increase is chiefly made
up of three items, namely, the $780,
100000 for the Panama canal, the in.
creased appropriation of $5o,OOo,o0C
for the postal service, and the river
and harbor appropriations.
He concluded by saying that the
people of the country indorse these
items of increase, and that the op.
posite political party concurred in
them.
