P0STOFFICE ECONOMIES
MIR. Hitchcock Tells How He Re
duced Department Deficit.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Aug. Figures were made
public to-day by Postmaster General
Hitchcock showing just how he made the
wonderful reduction Of approxinately
slI50o.ooo in last years postal deficit
without impairing the efficiency of the
postoifiCe service. Mr. Hitchcock is going
ahead with his business reforms and econ
omies in the hope that the deficit may be
entirely wiped out this year In the last
decade the growth in the expenditures for
the service more than kept pace with the
SFo"t tn in revenue, the average annual in
crease in expenditures amounting TO sos
per cent while the average annual in
crease IN revenue was onlf 79l per cent
In the last fiscal year an increase of about
10 per cent in revenues was accompanied
ba an increase Of less than 1 per cent in
expenditures
of the amount saved last year. $4,000
Geo represented economies i'm postoffice
management. nearly 81 600, 900 resulting
from more businesslike handling Of the
city delivery service. While this service
was actually extended and the number Of
carriers increased during the year. the re-
forms introduced in its mana cement were
most successful in cutting down expenses
Still larger savings, aggregating close to
$4,000. Gee. were made in the internal man
agement Of the postofices. including the
conduct OF the money order and registry
system and the handling of the various
working forces other than carriers. Re-
organization in the rural delivery service
was responsible for about 81 goo. 600 of the
saving. while a reduction Of $500. GOO was
made in the cost Of the Star Route ser
vice, including miscellaneous transporta-
ton of mail other than on railways.
The combined savings made in the cost
of handling the mails in postofTices and
in all branches of the service other than
railway transportation, including an item
Of s45e.00o for supplies and miscellane-
Gus expenses. made an aggregate reduc-
ton in the deficit of s6.l5e,eo0. AS for
the cost Of railway mail transportation,
the preliminary records for the year indi-
cate reduction Of about s., 700. 900 in the
excess Of expenditures over receipts. There
should be added to this a reduction Of
S150.000 in the relative cost of conducting
the railway mail service. making a total
