Free Delivery.
The report show* that free delivery Ims
made notable progress, it Wits retarded
somewhat during tho fiscal year ISUU-97 by
Insufficient uypruprlations, mid though
many cities which camo within tho re
quirements of tho law by showing u popu
lation of 10.000 or more, or gross postal
recoliits of >IO,OOO or upward, usked tor in
clusion In tho free delivery system, none
could be admitted because the amount
provided by congress for that year was
barely suffiolont to supply tin, needs of
the service as already eatubfishod. With
the commencement of the present fiscal
year a spec.al appropr.atlon b-.cumo avail
able for the extonslot) of the city free de
livery. Al! the more important otliees
now entitled to free delivery will soon re
ceive tne advantages of that service.
Rural Mail Delivery.
On the subject of free rural delivery.
Gene.ul Gary says:
"In the experimental extension of free
delivery to the rural districts some inter
esting results have been obtained. This
service, c immeneed in October, 1896, has
been carried on for a year over selected
routes in twenty-nine states under such
varying conditions as to give the experi
ment the fairest and fullest test. Congress
placed s4o,lMl> it the disposal of the de
i partment for this purpose In the fiscal
j year 1896-97, and provided >50,000 for a con
tinuation of the experiment during the
present fiscal year. It would be difficult to
point to any like expenditure of public
money which has been more gem rously
appreciated by the people or which has
conferred greater benefits in proportion lo
the amount expended.
"The response from each community' in
which rural delivery has been intrudm . d i.s
that, rather limn have ft discontinued af
ter once experimenting its benefits, most,
of tin. people served would will.ugly <!■ fray
the I'Ost themselves, either by paying th"
salaries of the carriers or by submitting
