WASHINGTON Dec. Touch
ing the heart of the agricultural com
munities in every state of the union,
the annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General p. V. DeGraw,
made public tonight. announces in
creased usefulness of the rural free
delivery service and the unpreeedent-
ed bringing of the work of the bu-
reau up to date and recommends ru-
raj delivery of packages of eleven
pounds maximum at special postage
and the uniforming of rural car
riers. The package provision sug-
gested requires congressional legis-
lation and is designed to be effective
between the distributing post office
and the patrons of any rural route
emanating from such post office
Such service. according to the re
port would benefit alike the rural
delivery patrons and local merchants
without injuring or competing with
any other service. 1T can be given,
adds Mr. McGraw. with the facili
ties now employed and would mate
rally increase the revenues of the
department. A special reduced rate
of postage for merchandise carried
only by rural carriers would unques-
tionably be of material value to the
retail merchants on rural routes and
at rural delivery distributing cen
ters as well as enhance the influence
OF the rural service in making life
in the country more attractive
Rural carriers at present are not
permitted TO carry for hire any mat
ter of package that is mailable. but
congress increased the salaries of the
carriers. The demand for package
service by them, fostered in the first
years of rural free delivery, still ex-
lists. 1t should be met, according to
Mr.. De Graw. not in the old way,
which permitted the use of the gov
ernment's agency for private gain.
but by the establishment of a system
for the carriage of merchandise by
rural carriers at such rates as will
be fair compensation for the service
performed, the revenues to be cred
tied to the postal receipts. Patrons
and merchants. he adds, desire to
have small package delivered by ru-
raj carriers, but will not pay the
present fourth class rate which Is
prohibitiye as applied to this class
of service.
The rural carriers in the service,
of which Mr.. De Graw is the head,
daily pass 100000 homes. and he
recommends once more the adoption
of uniform suitable TO the condi-
tons under which they much work
as undoubtedly adding TO the dignity
and efficiency of the rural service.
Their high standard of efficiency is
attested by the fact that only 60
rarriers out of a total number of 39,-
