COST OF RURAL DELIVERY.
Millions Expended That People Shall

Postmaster General Wynne writes
in the Worlds Work: in 1897, when
the rural service was started on pro-
baton, $4,000 was deemed sufficient
for its trial. During the fiscal year
that ended June 80, 1904, nearly S13,-
100000 was expended for rural free
delivery. For the fiscal year upon
which we have now entered S20,S16,-
600 has been appropriated for the con-
tiluance and extension of the rural
mail service. There were 24,566 rural
routes in existence at the end Of the
fiscal year, June 80 last, 9,446 new
routes having been put into operation
during the fiscal year. Oct. /, 1904,
there were 27135 routes established,
and the service was being extended at
the rate of about 500 routes month.
Taking $50 people as the average
number served on each route "a mod
