Congressman Finley on Rural Delivery.
Congressman Finley spoke at con-
siderable length on the postoffice ap-
preparation bill Wednesday. He re-
reviewed briefly the work Of the pos
tai commission and said that he did
not think congress ought to undertake
a consideration Of so important mat
ter now, but that 1t should be taken
up and discussed at length at the ex-
ira session in March. He also explain
ed that it was necessary for the COM
mittee on postoffices and postroads, Of
which he is a member, to increase the
appropriation for the rural free de-
livery system over the estimates sub
mitted by the postmaster general, for
the reason that had this not been done
it would have been impossible to es-
tablish new routes because Of lack Of
funds. He paid a high tribute to the
worth and efficiency Of the free de-
livery system and the carriers serving
in the different routes throughout the
United States. Besides these points
he touched on other features Of the
bill now being considered.
