MEANS TO CUT
POSTAL DEFICIT
ARE SUGGESTED
Placing of Fees on Work
Now Done Free is
Submitted.

BIZ ScriDps- HoioGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - Steps
to reduce the annual postofflce de-
partment deficit are being taken by
Postmaster General Walter F.
Brown, according to his first report
submitted to congress today.
The deficit of the department,
caused chiefly by the fact that the
2-cent stamp does not pay its way,
totaled $4,000, 5l4 for the fiscal year,
which ended June 80, last. This
sum, however, was reduced by
Brown to $50. 1874 because he held
that free delivery of mails by the
government was not a fair charge
against postal cash customers.
The improbable charges against
the department as estimated by
Brown total s31, 1872 06, of which
approximately 100000 includes
ranked matter for government
bureaus. The excess Of cost of air
mail over receipts is 100000.
Flat Rate on Free Mail
Postmaster General Brown recon-
mended several measures to congress
for providing additional revenues,
chief among them being the ap-
preparation of fiat sum for the
handling of free mails. He would
also assess these additional charges
against cash customers:
A fee for inquiries made for pa
irons concerning registered, insured
or collect on delivery mail and for
postal money orders.
An additional charge for returned
receipts on domestic registered and
insured mail when such receipts are
requested after the mailing Of the
articles.
Air Contracts Too High
A demurrage charge on undeliv-
cred collect-on-delivery packages.
An additional fee on inSufflciently
or improperly addressed letters.
Brown also recommended the ex-
tension of the metered mail system
and an increase in the maximum
deposit limits of postal savings &C
counts.
A reorganization of the air mail
service is now in progress with a
view of reducing costs. Brown con-
cluded several months ago that air
mail contractors were receiving TOO
much and new contracts are provid-
ing for lower carrying charges.

SHEEP DAY PLANS COMPLETED

Plans are progressing for an i'm
portant sheepmen's event at Centre
vile, Queen Annes county, ON Tues
day, July 18th. The main feature
of the day will be the Third Annual
Ram Sale, conducted by the Mary
land Stockmen's Association.
Contingents are already arriving
for the sale and include shipments
of rams from breeders in Maryland
Virginia and Pennsylvania. The
following is list Of consignors:
Belair Farms, Bowie, Md; H. P.
Miller, Grantsville, Md; M. C. Sher-
man, Queenstown, Md; j. w. Swar-
en-, Brookeville, Md; Roy c. F.
Weagly, Hagerstown, Md; E. F. and
H. H. Hickman, Strasburg, Va;
St. Armour Company, CoatesviIle,
Pennsylvania.
About 45 registered rams make
up the sale list. They are all Hamp-
SHES and Shropshires. Lamb pro-
ducers show considerable preference
for these two breeds. They have
found that choice lambs can be pro-
duced by using high class rams on
grade eve fiocks. Such lambs have
commanded pemium during the
past few years, and the Eastern
Shore is attaining reputation for
producing excellent lambs.
Following the sale, which will be
|held under the trees on the Court
House lawn, there will be posting
demonstration. The object is to IA
miliarize farmers with the common
parasites of sheep.
County Agent Bartilson is plan
ming an excursion of farmers to the
sale, and anyone interested in going
should see him at once.
