Amount of Mail Handled for Each

Per Month.
washington, Jan. 24.-In replying to
numerous inquiries Fourth Assistant
postmaster General Degraw has indi,
Gated the purposes of the department
IN connection with an inspection of ru-
raj free delivery routes which is in
progress with view to discontinuing
or reducing the service of such of
them as show little patronage. In
answering the inquiries Mr.. Degraw
mas replied substantially as follows:
In discovering that there is a lack of
patronage on given route, consid-
Grafton is given first to the possibili.
ty OF increasing the interest in the ser.
vice on the route; second, to the DOS
slbllty of rearranging the route so as
to increase the patronage; third. to
the possibility of establishing every
other day service in lieu of daily ser.
vice, and last to it's discontinuance
where the conditions are such that the
expenditure is unwarranted.
While no fixed rule as to the amount
OF mail which should be handled on a
rurag route has been adopted, still the
department feels that the average ru-
raj route should handle 5000 pieces of
mall per month, with possible mini
mum of 1000.
The expenditure involved in operat-
ing the service on a given route might
not be warranted, even though the
minimum of 1000 pieces of mail per
month were handled, where it was
found that a considerable number of

again conspicuous among those in the

The witnesses introduced by the de.

Mr.. Burden said that when he was

however, did not induce him to sub
