AFFECTS MANY POSTMASTERS.
Decision by Controller May Stop Practice Of
Padding Receipts.

Washington, Feb 6-The Postmaster General Is
empowered not only to fix the salary OF q post
master the basis Of the GROSS receipts OF his
office. provided by law. but also to go behind
the receipts TO determine whether they were OBJ
tanned properly. according to q decision rendered
to-day by Mr.. Traoeweu. the Controller Of the
Treasury. The opinion affects many postmasters
charged with padding receipts TO increase their SAL
aries by soliciting having their friends solicit
business that properly belongs TO neighboring Of
fees. The in which the decision rendered
is that OF Charles Burrows. postmaster OF RUther-
ford. N. j. who charged by the auditor of the
Postofhcs Department with owing to the govern
rnent two accounts aggregating 1915. A marked in
in the receipts of the ofice has occurred
since 1900 and Mr.. Burrows's salary and allowances
were proportonately Increased.
1t Is charged that Mr.. Burrows solicited large
ders for stamps from adjoining towns and cities;
that he filed orders for NewYork concerns for re-
turn postal cards and paid for the printing out OF
his pocket, and filed large orders of stamps
and sometimes at government expense. The
Controller holds that even II the postmaster him
self a party TO the solicitation OF business
from outside his Jurisdiction, and II that solicta-
ton done by friendly citizens of his town. the
Postmaster General had the right, he contended,
investigate the method OF obtaining the receipts
in fixing the salary of the postmaster. In the
assistant postmaster and clerks held to be
consequential losses for which the postmaster
should not be charged but that the salary paid to
him improperly should be charged against him
