WIPED CUT NOW
Postal Service on Self-Sustaining
Basis and One Cent Letter
Postage Coming.

Washington, Dec l1.--"For the first time
since 1883 the annual financial statement
of the postofice department shows a
surplus instead of a deficit"
This is the burden of the annual re-
port Of Postmaster General Hitchcock
now made public. He indicated that the
placing OF the postal service upon a self
sustaining basis meant an Improvement
and extension of facilities and. at no
distant day, one-cent letter postage.
At the beginning of the present admins
tration in 1909 Mr.. Hitchcock pointed out.
the department showed a deficit of sl7,-
49,, no the largest on record. In two wears
this deficit has been changed into a
surplus of s9l9llS despite important ex-
tensions throughout the service These
extensions include 3,7A new postofices,
delivery Of mail by carriers in lSG addi-
tlonal cities. 25lf new rural mail routes
aggregating Co679 miles, and 5000 addi-
tional postal employees. with the salary
roll greater by NApoOp0 than II was two
years ago
The postal savings bank system, less
than year old now is in operation in
practically all of the 1890 presidential
poston,ces. Preparations are being made
to establish II in about 10000 fourth-class
Offices that do money order business.
In II months operation, postal bank
deposits aggregated 100000 and they
are oxpected to reach $40 10000 or more
by July l. In view of the successful
operation of the postal banks. Mr. Hitch
cock strongly recommended the establish
mont by Congress OF an adequate parcels
most which. he said, could be put into
oneration in a few months.
The postmaster-genera reiterated that
the second class postage rate should be
two cents instead of one cent a pound.
He also urged that by readjustment of
the nav Of railroads for transporting the
malls. based on actual cost to the rail-
roads. an annual saving to the govern
mont of AT least 5000 coo could be effected
Mr. Hitchcock said; 1.-THE progress I'm
aviation encourages the hope that
ultimately the regular conveyance of mail
nv this means may be practicable in many
districts where the natural conditions
preclude other means OF rapid trans
portation,
Mr. Hitchcock recommended granting
nil postal employees 30 days annual leave,
that ga civil pension based on length of
empIoyment he granted by the govern
ment" TO superannuated employees; and
that presidential postmasters be placed in
