paper the state is in u very exposed

various departments to show that tons
of paper are wasted every year in the

Effort to Solve Problems.

The purpose of the Post Office Depart
ment in asking bids for aerial mail
service is purposed to reach practical
solution of existing difficulties and is
for scientific development of postal
transportation by providing a carrying
medium which will meet problems that
make present conditions of mail de-
livery difficult and Objectionable. Car
rylng mails by aeroplane over the pro-
posed route, if feasible. and within the
exactions of the specifications. is eX-
pected to bring about betterment of
present service.
But the Post Office Department cannot
look only on the question of a better
service in making a change in method
of delivering mail. The matter of eX-
pense is involved. Bids in eXtraordi-
nary contrast with the cost of the
present transportation service will not
encourage the Post Office Department
to adopt the aeroplane as Il means of
conveyance.
