extending the washington-Philade
phia~Nsw York air mail service to

operation Just as soon as sufficient
data on the cost per flying hour and
other expenses tending toward the
cost Of maintenance are prepared.
Detailed records Of the trips made in
the newly inaugurated systems are
being kept by the War Department
with the view to finding out the cost
of maintenance so that when appro-
priations are asked for from Congress
the Post Office Department will have
something definite to present.
when a working basis has been OBJ
tained and the service proves its
worth Boston will receive the first
extension and other cities will follow.
It was likewise learned today that
following an extension or two of the
service two deliveries daily will be
made between Washington and New
York should the demands warrant
such an addition. The extra delivery,
however. will not become a fact until
the service has been in operation some
time. 1t was announced.
