1922 SETS RECORDS
!. IN POSTAL SERVICE
Receipts Reach $484,-
$4,000, While Expenses
| Are Cut $75,349,OO0.
SERVICE Is EXTENDED
434 Rural Routes Added and 953
Letter Carriers Taken On.
Morale Called Good.

The year 1922 has struck the
highest note in the history of the
postal service OF the United States
Postmaster General Work declared
today. Ten years ago the postal
receipts were approximately 1926.
$3S,000 In 1922 they totaled $4S4,-
$4,000. or practically double the
receipts of 1872, and this enormous
sum is the largest amount of money
ever taken in by the American postal
system or any other postal system in
the world. The gain in receipts over
1921 was $4,000, 900 and the per
capita revenue, which was $4.2S in
1921, jumped to SAL in 1922. But
while the revenues Of the Post Office
Department have made these tremeH-
douS gains in the last twelve months.
expenditures have been actually cut
down. the expenses being reduced
from S620,9a3.o00 in round numbers
in 1921 TO S545.6I4,0O0 in 1922.
Pay Rates Not Cut.
"In almost every branch of the
administration OF postal affairs dur
ing the year there have been attained
Increasing receipts with decreasing
expenditures. The sale Of stamps and
stamped paper attained a new pin
Eacle of S422, 10S,000, as compared with
$403.S92.000 in 1921. an increase of
SlS,200,000. Registered, collection
delivery and Insurance fees brought
revenues of Sl7,092, 900 in 1922 and
$16.1SS.0O0 in 1921, a gain of $l,304, 000.
The cost of the railroad mail trans
rortation service. one of the big items
of expense of the department. was
cut from $S2.195, 900 in 1921 To SSH
2li.000 in 1922. and the expense of
operating the air mail service was re-
duced from Sl,l66.O00 in 1921 to ST.,
:15.000 in 1922. one Of the particu-
larly gratifying features Of the finan-
Cial situation of the post office Sy&-
TEN during 1872 Is that the savings
effected have not been at the expense
of the salaries OF pOStmaSterS and
other postal employees who have been
automatically promoted in accord
Rnce with the statutes. A. a Couse-
quenCe, no saving from this source
has been recorded.
Service Is Extended.
'Some exceptional accomplishments
have been effected during the past
year in increasing the service to the
public Of the nation. The number of
rural routes has been increased from
+2.I52 i'll 1927 to illS6 in 19"2 there
by adding 434 new routes, supplying
thousands of inhabitants of rural
communities with daily mail facilities.
An additional g53 letter carriers
have been employed for the extension
of city delivery service in cities
throughout the country while 2,326
additional post office clerks and $50
other postal employees have been placed
on the pay roll to handle the tremen-
dous quantities of mail that have
flooded the system.
The new year is pregnant with
greater achievements. The existence
OF a high morale among postal work
ers and the adoption Of a new slogan.
DO it with a smile combined with
the widespread prevalence of loyalty
TO the trust imposed in them by their
government, give renewed assurance
that the biggest business organization
I'm the world will grow even bigger
during the year of 1928"
