SERVICE WOULD BE IMPROVED

Washington, D. CA reorganiza-
tion of the rural route system is con-
templated by the postmaster gener~
al.
This bill provides for the use of
automobiles on rural routes in all
states that have roads adapted to the
use of such vehicles. 1t provides for
a radical change in the rural free
delivery system. Under present
conditions the length of a standard
route is twenty-four miles and the
maximum compensation paid carri-
ers is 81 200 year. The postmaster
general proposes to increase the
length of routes where conditions
are favorable to fifty miles and on
such routes carriers will be paid 81,
800 year. They will berequired to
use automobiles on the longer routes.
In discussing the subject the post
master general pointed out that in
thickly settled agricultural regions a
group of routes radiate from the
same town. The services of one car
rier are required for nearly every
route. The postmaster general is Of
the opinion that with the inu0duc-
ton of automobiles tie length Of the
routes may be doubled without i'm.
pairing the efficiency Of the service
lin any respect,
He is also Of the opinion that iL
some instances it may be found de-
sirable to have routes fifty miles in
length on a straight inc. On such
routes he would have the carriers de-
liver and collect on the outward trip.

In planning to reorganize the ru-
raj mail service by the introduction
of automobiles, the postmaster gen
! eraI is trying to effect economies
The rural free delivery system is the
most expensive branch Of the posta
service. There are at present about
$4,000 routes in operation through
out the United States. 1t costs ap-
proXimately S46,O0O,O0O a year to
maintain them. The business of
these routes does not yield to exceeCl
