the machines q ssasiaetqEyy they WI b ga adopted; : they should prove
OF rural delivery. Mr.. Meyer said that, while there is azIeenng preva,
lent in many parts of the country that this service is an extrayagant and
an unnecessary drain upon the department. he believes the results aecom,
pnshed in the last tn years prove this feeling Ito be baseless. i He pointed
out that where the first rural route was established in tn fIi Of 1896,
$11,5O0,0O0, while for the fiscal year ended June S0.1907, the expendi-
lures for rural delivery were 27, 000O 900 and the estimated postal deficit
showed a decrease al compared with 1897 of about $4P00.000, y 4E
=" THE expense is enormous" he said, "yt it as increased the receipts,
and the dement's tt our people cannot be Measure indonars and cents. The
isolation which existed in many parts of the country has been overcome.
Medical men have said that already the establishment of the rural service
is having its effect upon the mentality of our country patrons, and that
because of it insanity is on the decrease" 4 -1#u#t -
