An official statement made public
by the Postoffice Department, says
that he will recommend to Congress
that the government be authorized to
buy the property Of the privately.

act Of 1874. providing for their ap.

The announcement came out OF q

Of immense practical benefit to the

I'm this country postoffices are
maintained in numerous places not
reached by telegraph systems. and the
proposed consolidation. therefore.
would afford favorable opportunity
for the wide extension Of telegraphic
facilities. In many small towns where
the telegraph companies have offices,
the telegraph and mail business could
be handled readily by the same en-
ployes. It is evident that the separate
maintenance Of the two services under
present conditions result in needless
