Explains Operation.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper furnished a statement to the
House committee on post offices and post
roads. explaining the operation of the
proposed legislation. In part. this state
ment said:
by making the county the unit and
each post office located therein sub
sidiary to the main office situated at
the county seat the number of account
ing Offices would be reduced from $4,000
to 5000. The county postmaster would
be assisted by clerk In charge, under
his Immediate supervision. at each sub
sidiary office, instead of regularly ap-
pointed postmaster, and the business
conducted in precisely the same manner
as at stations in the larger cities"
Mr. Roper clearly stated in hearings
before the committee that the iegisla-
ton would abolish the present post
masters Representative Madden OF
Illinois was one of the members who
asked questions. and one of his queries
was:
This would put the postmaster gem
eral in a position to appoint one post
master in each county, would II not.
and would put all other post Offices in
the county as non-accounting offices,
subject to his jurisdiction"
Mr. Roper said that was SO.
