QUESTION
UP TO CONGRESS
Hitchcock. Submits Estimate for
Establishment Of Parcels
Post.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
He Also Asks Money for Expert
ments in Carrying Mail
by Aeroplane.

Washington, October 6.-Provisions
for tho establishment of parcels post
and the transportation pr mail by
aeroplane has been made by Post
master-General Hitchcock in his an
nual estimates of Post-Office Depart
ment expenditures. submitted to tho
Treasury Department to-day.
According to Mr.. Hitchcock's esti-
mates the appropriations necessary to
meet the service at large during the
coming fiscal year will be S26o,sSs.43G,
an increase of $2.5s5.74O over the ap-
preparations for the current fiscal
year. or less than l per cent, the
smallest on record.
The most important OF the new
items In the estimates are those pro.
viding for q parcels post. They in
clude $4,000 to cover the preliminary
expenses on rural mall routes and an
equal appropriation to start tho ser
vice In the cities. The department. be-
lieves that after the initial expenses
of establishment are betrayed and the
parcels post ia in full operation on
the rural routes 1t will not only bring
in sufficient revenue to meet It's cost,
but also surplus that can be utilized
In paying the parcels post expenses
in the city delivery service. An ad.
ditional Item OF $4,000 is included to
cover an investigation having for Its
object the final establishment OF
general parcel post on all railway
and steamboat transportation routes.
Thus Mr. Hitchcock will submit the
parcel post question squarely to Con-
gress. for the Postal Committee of tho
House and Senate will have to pass
directly upon each item. He is con-
fidcpt that Legislation authorizing q
parcels post in some form Will be Sc
cured at the coming session Of Con-
sress.
Another Item included for the first
time is the $4,000 to cover expert
ments in the transportation OF mail by
aeroplane. Mr.. Hitchcock believes
that In the improvements now being
made 1t will be possible in the near
future to use the aeroplane to good
advantage In the mail
The sum of $4,000 is provided for
time and labor-saving mechanical de-
vices
An Item of $4,000 is to be expended
in giving rewards to postal employees
who invent improved mechanical APP
planes that accelerate the handling
of the mails.
