RECEIPTS FALL OFF.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE fnan
cial depression since last Fall is re
sponsible for a decrease Of 6.54 per
cent in the revenues OF the New York
Post Office for the fiscal year end,
ed June 80.
The net revenue OF the general post
office and stations for twelve months
ended June 80, was Sl1,8l5,l37, com
pared with $l2,643,867 for 1907, or a
loss OF $828,729 for the fiscal year re-
Gently ended.
Gross receipts for 1908 were Sl8,-
369,ll9, a gain over the preceding
year OF $8,447. The cost of running
the local office is on the increase. Ex-
penses for 1908 aggregated $6,753981,
an increase over the fiscal year 1907,
of $837,177.
Notwithstanding the hard times
there was an increase in the domestic
money order business. During
twelve months ended June 80, domes-
tic money orders issued numbered L.
llO,O65 with value Of $12,0o8, ,592.
The statistics Of 1907 show 1927, ,639
domestic money orders issued repre-
senting sll,096,l70. Money orders
paid, however, fell off $l,543066. Mon
ey sent through and received at the
New York post office by the interna-
tional money order system shows an
increase. Foreign money orders ag-
gregating 1926 were issued, having
a total value Of $1,319,303, or 4,730
more orders and $358,671 more than
i'll 1907. International money orders
paid show that the increase for the
twelve months is 12,572, with a value
of $28l ,635.

Franchise Is Signed
Mayor Wise signed Il

telephone franchise yesterday, and
the grant now stands lawfully com
pleted. The city charter provides that
the mayor shall sign or veto all ordi
nances, within ten days, and in this
case the time would have expired to-
day. In those case wherein the mayor
does not sign or veto an ordinance
within the ten days it becomes valid
and stands without his signature.
Mayor Wise said he delayed append
ing his signature in the matter Of the
phone ordinance until yesterday be-
cause he wished to take time to
thoroughly consider the matter and
because the short delay might have
wrought something to the fore that
should have been known before he
formally made it binding law. As
the matter stands, Mayor Wise says
he IS well SatlShed with the ordinance.
1t is expected the telephone company
will now proceed with the organiza-
ton of their local corporation with
out delay. They have thirty days in
which to accept the ordinance. and it
is taken as a foregone conclusion that
they will accept it at once IT is
that certain leading citi
zens are becoming interested in the
matter and may take financial in
terest as soon as possible.
