Hitchcock, in Annual Report,
Discusses Readjustment of
Rates and Points Out
Many improvements.

Washington. Dec. l0.--For the first time
since 1888 the annual financial statement
OF the Postoffice Department shows sur
plus instead of a defcit, The revenues for
the fiscal year ended June so. 1911, were
S237. .t79.S23 90 and the expenditures t23i,-
eco. 7O5 IS, leaving surplus Of $219.11S Il.
~ the beginning of the present administra-
ton in 1909. the service was In arrears
Sl1.4I9.T1O l7, when was the largest deficit
on record IN two Years this deficit has
been changed into a substantial surplus.
The viping out II the deficit Postmaster
General Hitchcock says in his annual re
port, has been accomplished without cur
tailment of facilities. On the contrary i'm
portant extensions have been made in every
branch Of the service Since the opening of
the present administration 3.744 new post
Offices have been established, delivery ~
carrier has been provided in lS6 additional
cities. and 9,5i6 new rural routes, sggre e-
gating 6o659 miles, have been authorized.
The force Of employees has been increased
by more than 5000. The total amount eN-
pended for salaries was approximately sl4,-

a marked extension Of the service and high

hand in hand with vanishing debt
IN important event Of the year was the
successful organization of the postal say
ings system After a careful test for four
months the system vas rapidly extended
and now comprises practically all the $500
Presidential postoflices. Preparations are
being made to establish the system also in
about 10000 fourth class Offices that do q

Savings deposits have kept pace with the
extension Of the system; after eleven months

AN AER0PLANE. E.M0T0R BOAT
Walter Brookins Plans Combina.
tion That May Cross the Ocean.

Walter Brookins, one OF the avlators
trained by the Wrights, is building
combination airship and motor boat "hlcH
he thinks will be able TO cross the ocean.
Mr. Brookins, however. having been care
fully trained by the Wrights, declines to
saw that he expects TO attempt trans
oceanIc flight. He will only 90 so far %
70 say that ne thinks the new craft VIII
be capable OF the feat, while he viii make
some experimental flights on still water
in the spring and will attempt more pre-
carlous adventures II the first flights are
successful
The general plan Of Brookins is merely
10 suspend a motorboat beneath Wright
aeroplane. The aeropane will have
greater breadth Of wing than the mach mes
with which the public is familiar and the
engines will be more powerful. In the
present Wright machine the wings are
Sel1 feet broad while in The Broohins
machine they will be 90 broad. The
Wright engines are 35-horse power, while
Brookins will have two Go-horse power
engines
Another change he will make will be 20
put the aeroplane propellers in front in
stead Of behind. The boat, which Will be
% feet long by s feet beam, will have a
separate propeller. and will be suspended
| Immediately beneath the lower wings or
the seroplane The same engines viii
drive both the airshp and the water craft
and they will nc placed in the boat.
The pilot and his passenger, If he carr
ries one, will ride in the boat whether the
machine is in the air or on the water. 1t
is estimated that the boat and engines Will
weigh LOO pounds. while machine as an
airship will lift 2,2oo pounds. This will
allow 200 pounds for supplies, which
Rrookns considers will be plenty of lee
way for a pilot. passenger, oil, Gasolene'

Readiustncnt Of Postage Rates.

Next to the question OF establishing a
parcels post, the most important postal
problem to be considered by Congress
will be that Of readjusting rates. In tho
last two annual reports Of the department
attention was directed 10 tho great loss
sustained i'm handling second-class mail
AT the present low rate Of cent pound.
In view Of the large profit accruing, on
the other hand from flrst-class mail, il
was pointed out that q readjustment OF
rates on the basis Of cost would eventu-
ally permit the 3doption Of l-cent postage
for letters
The controversy over the departments
recommendations had the desired effect Of
directing popular attention to the second
class mail problem. and the final outcome
was the adoption 10y Congress Of joint
resolution creating a commission TO inVes-
tigate the subject and make report EX-
tensive hearings We're held by the commits
sion, at which tie officers Of the depart
ment presented data in support OF their
contention as 20 the great loss incurred
in handling second-class mail, and sub
mitted recommendations for a gradual
equalization Of postage rates OH the basis
of cost. - the first step in that direction
the department suggested that tie rate on
second-class mail be increased ! cent a
pound, thus making a fat rate OF cents
q pound, which charge should be regarded
as merely tentative, however, leaving FOR
future determination such additional in
crease as may be found necessary 10 meet
the cost. II is hoped that the commission
Will look with favor on this recommends.

Parcels Post Favored.

Now that tine successful operation or
the postal savings system is assured. Mt.
Hitchcock says, il Is hoped that Congress
will promptly authorize the establish
ment OF q parcel post. The benefits or
this service arc widely enjoyed by tho
people Of foreign countries and should be
provided I'm the United states. The dc
partment renews its recommendation OF
last year for authority 20 start d parcels
post on rural routes, and asks a similar
authorization for the introduction Of such
a service in cities and towns having de-
livery by carrier. After the organization
of parcels post on rural routes and in
the city delivery service Is completed, its
extension 10 include railway and other
transportation lines can be more readily
accomplished without impeding the hand
ling OF the ordinary mail.
II Congress will grant without delay
the desired authority and provide the nee
essary appropriations. II IS believed that
before the end Of another year sausfac-
tory parcels post can be organized on
rural routes and in cities with carrier
service, thus paving the way for the final
step in the organization OF general par
