INCREASE: Of SALARY
FOR RURAL CARRIERS
Amount Will Be About 500 Ad-
vance on Standard Routes;
Total Cost $40, 100000.

WASHINGTON. July 9.-The 10000
odd rural free delivery carriers In the
United States are TO receive salary In
crcases as II result OF decision reached
today by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
The order will provide for the disburse-
ment during the current fiscal year OF
$4,000, ,0C0, which viii mean an increase of
Slo0 over the present salary of $500 for all
carriers on standard routes
Congress provided last session for this
extra s.. .00O, 600. but left II To the discre-
tlon Of the postmaster general as TO how
much Of IL should be expended. Mr.
Hitchcock decided TODAY TO authorize the
expenditure OF the full amount.
His desire to compensate the carriers
for any additional burden which may be
placed on them If the parcels post sys-
tenn he has recommended for rural routes
ls approved by congress. was the reason.
Mr., Hitchcock declared today which led
him TO make the authorization.
In the current ysaT the routes will cost
the government about $40 900. 000 the
estimated Joss bcing about S25 600. 900.
The postmaster general expressed the
belief that the parcels post system. under
proper management would insure the
free delivery service as a self-supporting
branch OF the postal service.
The rural delivery system was started
fifteen years ago with cghty-three car
riers. who were paid only 5000 a year.
On July !. there were il.562 carriers.
their aggregate salaries being s35,-
Igy. 600,
