Administration
in the words of President Wilson,
The postoffica is the conspicuous
gauge and standard of what the gov
eminent is doua for the people and
how it is doing it," Since March,
1913, this gauge and standard has
been raised higher than ever before.
Efficient postal service everywhere,
equal service for everybody, and the
elimination of pull" privilege and
waste have been our aim. The follow
ing are some Of the more important
postal achievements under the pres
cnt administration:
The number of postal savings de-
positors has increased from 100000 at
the beginning of March, 1913, to
100000 at the end of June, 1916, while
the amount deposited has increased
during the same period from $780,
100000 to $8G,000OOO. The gain of
nearly so per cent in the per capita
deposit is convincing evidence of the
prosperity of the working people of
this country, who are the principal
patrons of postal savings banks 1t is
also noteworthy that SO per cent of
the total number Of depositors are
foreign born, and that they own 70 per
cent of the total savings deposited.
This indicates growing confidence on
their part in American institutions.
Many of these people formerly were
patrons of foreign postal savings sys-
TENS. A recent act of congress,
recommended by Postmaster General
Burleson, raises the limit of deposit
by any person from $500 to $1,000, eX-
elusive of accumulated interest. This
Immediately resulted in a pronounced
increase in deposits. 1t is estimated
that the $500 limit placed in the
original postal savings law of 1910
turned away as much money as was
accepted. The postal savings system
as whole has been brought to a self
sustaining basis and for the past three
years has yielded a substantial profit.
Money Orders
Postal money orders have been
made payable al any postoffice in the
United States, thus adding materially
to the convenience of many thousands
of postal patrons. Formerly they were
payable only at the postoffice upon
which drawn
City Mail Delivery
The delivery of mail in cities has
been extended to over 100000 addi-
tional patrons Of postoffices, including
243 cities which heretofore had never
had mail delivery. At six of the larger
cities government-owned automobiles
have been in operation for the past
year in the delivery and collection of
mail in place of contract machines,
thus providing flexibility of service
during emergencies.
Mail Transportation
Mail transportation has been in
creased on 624S miles of railroad and
ALLIES miles on domestic steamboats,.
To give mail service to towns and
villages not located upon railroads,
1911 star routes have been put in
operation.
Foreign Mail Service

vice with South and Central American
countries has been given special con
