POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCTION
FOR FISCAL YEAR S1t,5oo, 900
Tremendous Saving Made Without
Curtaiinent of Facilities in Any
Direction.

Washington, Oct 24-Figures, the
compilation Of which was completed at
the postoffice department today, show
that the exact reduction of the postal
deficit during the. fiscal year ended
| June 80 last was S11,500,00 The de-
foit' of the previous fiscal year was
Sf7 500 900, SO that in one year the de-
{ felt was brought down to SIS, 1905 600.
In commenting tonight upon the saw
ing of $11.50o.0o0 last year, Postmaster
| General Hitchcock said
This tremendous saving was made
without the curtaflment of the postal
| facilities in any direction. On the
contrary, during the year there were
many important extensions of such
| facilities. In eliminating wastefu ex-
| penditures the department has beer
| exceedingly careful not to hamper in
! any way the constant development Of
| the postal service required to meet the
increasing business needs of the coun-
try.
In a word, the departments policy
| IS to extend the service as rapidly as
Is warranted by increasing population
and to accomplish its savings. not by
the curtail2nent of postal facilities, but
| by handling in a more systematic and
busin esslilxe manner the constantly ex-
pandjng volume of the nails
The tables prepared indicate that
more than 1900 new postoffices, with
the necessary officers, employees and
equipment, were established during the
last fiscal year. while great extensions
were made in the rural delivery routes.
SIS new routes with a total mileage of
1926 miles being put into operation.
More than 1,s00 postofffce clerks were
added to the working forces of city
postoffices and more than 1000 addi-
tional letter carriers were named. The
railway mail service was strength ened
by the appointment of about $50 new
employees. The aggregate salaries of
new employees appointed during the
year from the civil service lists exceed
81 600 900.
The tables compiled also show that
the department made liberal increases
in the compensation of old employees.
Salaries of postoffice clerks were ad-
while the letter carriers salaries were
increas S1,s2B. 900. Railway mail
clerks received increases amounting to
almost s25o0D0
Mr.. Hitchcock explained that all in
creases We're based upon a system of
efficiency ratings. adopted by the de-
partlnent a little more than year
ego.
Il believe" he added that the high
er standard of efficiency secured by
proper applica ton of this policy is Ger
tain to justify the resulting increase
in expenses IN my judgment the ac-
ton of the department in this regard
last year was largely responsible for
the effective cooperation the depart
ment received from it's officers and
men throughout the country an cutting
out wasteful expenditures.
This hearty cooperation I expect
to be continued through this and future
years, with the result that we shall
have self sustaining postal service
and one cent letter hostage
