Time for Parcels
Post Delivery.

Washington Jan 1.-The establish
ment of parcels post delivery along
rural mail routes should not be de-
layed any longer, in the opinion of
p, V. DeGraw, fourth assistant post
master general, as expressed in his
annual report submitted. today, TO
Postmaster General Hitchcock
Every consideration of practicable
ity, business expediency and good ad-
ministration he says '.favors the
plan as being a probable source Of
large revenue and great public ac
conmodation.
Mr.. DeGraw bases his recommended
ton for a parcels post on the ground
that expenditures for rural SER
vice are increasing much more rapid
ly than the receipts; and the parcels
post, he says, would provide much adj
ditiunal revenue During the past
year the rural mail receipts were 81,
so 600 while the expenditures were
$27. 1870, 900. For the present year there
has been appropriated s42, 100000, while
it is not expected there will be any
appreciable increase in receipts. This
loss will become greater each year.
he says. unless parcels post is estab-
lished to help
There are at present more than l.
600. GOO miles of rural mail routes, ard
the average mileage per day for each
carrier is 24.19 miles. During the past
year 577 routes We're added, making
the present total 1855.
More than 100000 letters and par
cells we're received at the dead letter

First, it is not safe to name any
