Postmasters Appointed.

During the ninety days of the new
administration about 1000 additional
clerks and approximately 500 addition
nj city letter carriers have been attach
ed to the various postoffices through
out the country, and besides these ad-
ditions to the regular force approx
mately S1,000000 has been authorized
for temporary clerk hire and about
100000 for temporary city letter car
riers. These unusual financial demands
made 1t necessary for the postmaster
general to go to congress in May for
an emergency appropriation of $780,
900. which was promptly granted, and
100000 allotted for temporary clerk
hire and a like amount for temporary

Text of the Report.

The statement in part is as follows:
Immediately upon his induction in
to Office on March Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson was confronted with
persistent and serious complaints
throughout the country of generally
unsatisfactory mail facilities Realiz-
ing that efficient postal facilities are
vital to the commercial prosperity of
the country and TO the social happi-
ness of our people, Mr.. Burleson set
about at once in businesslille way to
remedy the defects. Naturally his first
action was to ascertain the causes re
sponsible for the deplorable conditions,
and to this end he appointed a commit
tee consisting of the four assistant
postmasters general aud the chief
clerk of the department and charged
this committee with the duty Of ascer-
tanning the financial, physical and
working conditions Of the department
and of the entire service. A thorough
Investigation was made by the com
mittee and a report of its findings
promptly submitted. The report traced
the causes of the complaints of ins
efficient postal facilities and made sug.
gestions as to how relief could be Sc
cured and the service restored to that
high state of efficiency demanded and
required By the public.
