Report Declares Rural De- livery System Should Be Purified. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The annual report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow for the fiscal year end- ed June 30 last makes- the following recommendations: An appropriation to construct inspectors’ lookouts in postoffices wherever necessary in the opinion of the Postmaster General; that the interstate commerce law be amended so as to prohibit common car- riers from aiding and abetting in the green goods, lottery or any other scheme carried on partly by mail and partly by common carrier, in violation of the postal laws; that special agents and postoffice inspectors be hereafter designated rural agents; that the provision that rural carriers shall not | be prohibited from doing an express business be repealed; that the maxi- mum of a rural carrier be increased to $750 per annum for a route of twen- ty-five miles or more in length, and the enactment of a law requiring .as- sistant postmasters, cashiers and other employes to give bonds to postmasters direct, and holding postmasters re- sponsible under their own bonds. There are now in - operation 19,390 rural free delivery routes. It is esti- mated that 3360 additional routes can be established out of the appropriation now available, making 22,678 which will be in operation or ordered established by March 1, 1904 Bristow's report says: “An investigation, which is still ' in progress, has shown that for a number of years supplies for the free delivery service have not been purchased with an eye to the public interests. Both in the matter of quality and the cost of equipment the ruling has been in- dividual gain. This applies to articles furnished under regular contract, such as street collection boxes and carriers’ satchels, as well as to those bought In the open market under the exigency privilegé, which has been abused. Fa- vored contractors, abetted by a trusted but unfaithful official, have corrupted the public service. An eariy and thor- ough reformation will be. undertaken along the line of service of equipment with the progpect of improved service at a reduced cost. Fraudulent con- tracts have beeen abrogated. , In the reletting of contracts competition will have fair and free play.” —_— e ———— German Ship August Overdue.
