POSTAL SERVICES UNITED
Star Routes and Rural Delivery
Under One Management.

Washington, May POSTMASTER General
Hitchcock signed an order on Saturda \
night that viii effect a radical change il
the organization of the P0stoffiCe Depart
ment, consolidating and placing under one
mana cement the two important branches OF
the postal establishment, known as the star
route service and the rural delivery service
The order viii take effect on July next
For some years past the TWO services con
eerned have provided practically the same
kind Of mali facilities, but the manage
ment of each has been distinct from the
other,
The stsr route service has been conducted
by the division Of contracts, under the
Second Assistant Postmaster General and
the rural delivery service by division in
the bureau of the Fourth Assistant Post
master General. BY the Postmaster Gen
erals order these two divisions will be
combined into q single office. to he known
as the Division of Rural Mails. and placed
under the jurisdiction of the Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General
The new division thus created will have
immediate supervision over annual appro-
pristions aggregating close 10 50, OO0 coo.
The consolidation of the rural delivery and
the star route services will prevent con-
fiicting management, avoid duplication of
postal authorities and result iii material
economies. Investigations by the tlepart-
ment, recently completed, into the cost of
operating its several services showed that
the rural delivery system was~costing about
s2S,oQ0,ooo more than the revenues derived
from il. Plans were Immediately set on
foot 10 reorsanise this service and place it
en- a more businesSlike basis Undoubtedly
Its consolidation with the star route service
Will prove to be q most important step in
this direction. making it possible to cut
down the expenses OF operation by several
millions OF dollars, without loss of eff
f1ciency.
