THE LAST YEARS ACCIDENTS

Washington, Jan. 11.-Transpor-
tation of the mails by railways,
steamship lines and various star
routes cost the government, during
the fiscal year ended June both,
1909, $s3,493.762.
These are figures given I'm the an
nual report of Joseph Stewart, sec
ond assistant postmaster general.
which was made public today. The
number OF failroad routes employed
by the department was 1916, aggre-
eating 2i7,1l5 miles. The total ex-
pense OF the railway service for the
year was s45.O54,54S. For the fiscal
year OF 1911 IL is estimated that the
expenditures for railroad transpor-
tation will be s46.62O.OOO.
The result OF the readjustment OF
pay for railroad transportation. ef-
fectiye July 1, 1909, for the ensuing
four years. based upon the Weighing
OF the mails, shows decrease of
$i94.36O.3l. or SOS per cent; and
for railway postoffice car pay de-
crease of s3.195.97. or O.29 per cent.
IL has developed that electric
street railway companies in some
cities demand eXtortionate rates for
carrying the mails. Concerning this
situation. Mr.. Stewart says:
For Electric Motor Wagons.
I'm view OF the demands made by
electric car companies for higher
rates for service In the large cities
IL Is found desirable. in some cases.
To substitute motor-wagon service
for the electric ear service"
As the appropriation made by con-
gress for railway mail service can
not be used for motor wagon ser
vice. Il IS recommended that $780,
600 be appropriated for the motor
wagon service. IL Is shown by the
report that automobiles are displac-
ing, 20 an extent. not only the street
cars. but horse-drawn vehicles as
means for the transportation OF
mails in cities.
Foreign Mail Service.
The total expense Of the foreign
mail service for the year was $2.-
73f,6G5. The rates payable to the
steamship companies for the sea con-
veyance OF letter mails were so cents
a pound to American steamers and
four francs a kilogram 20 foreign
steamers. During the year 355. .S59.-
2S3 pieces OF mail we're sent from
the United Staes to foreign coun-
tries and 270.20O.320 pieces were
received. The amount collected by
this country In postage on mails sent
abroad was SS.627. .095.
