The United States rural mail SER.
vice, over which Harry H. Billany,
fourth assistant postmaster-general, /
has supervision, will be 26 years old
on October /, it has been announced
at the Postofice Department. The
story as told by figures of the ad-
vancement of this service, which now
reaches into the most remote sections
of the country and brings into direct
touch with the outside world the her
nit of the open spaces, is interesting.
Delaware has 90 routes tOtaling q
625 miles. Fathered by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, who first Of
ficially suggested it to Congress in
1891, the rural delivery idea was
fought for five years before it was
finally given tryout.
At the close of business, June 30,
1922, the number of routes over which
Assistant Postmaster Billany has sup
ervision had jumped to 44,186 with
total mileage of 1,18O,448 miles. The
insignificant appropriation of $4,000
made by Congress 26 years ago to
initiate the service has grown to the
tremendous figure of $86,8OO,OOO. The
first complete county rural route SER
vice was established December 20,
1889, in Carroll county, Maryland.
From that date county service rapidly
developed until it now covers more
than 1000 counties.
Up to 1915 there were 26,080 fourth
class postofices discontinued On &C
count of the establishment of rural
delivery service, representing an an
nual saving in the postal service OF
3,O4O, while the saving resulting
from the discOntinuance of star routes
was estimated at $3,4S4,67O per an
mum. Illinois leads the nation both il
the number of rural routes and il
mileage, there being 1921 routes GOV
ering a distance of 70,174 miles il
that State. Ohio is second with 2,
534 routes and mileage of 26,72'
miles.

Smyrna times., 1922-09-13

The women of Smyrna now have q
power and a say in the running of our
municipal affairs. All over 21 are
assessable and upon payment of the
annual town tax have a vote. If the
women will get back of the movement
for a garbage and ash collection sys-
tenn, we can have it. And other re-
forms, too. In the interest of good
health and sweet and clean surround
ings, a systematic slop collection
should be had in Smyrna. The house
wife should lose no time to importune
Town Council and be boosters for this
needed reform. Lets have it.
