The remaining 700.000 square inHe* not now covered by rural free delivery service, according to the report, will require the employment of .■6.000 or 27.000 carriers in addition to those now employed, making the entire force of carriers when the extension of the sen-ice is completed, within the next three years, 40.000. After this extension is completed the annual rate of increase in the appropriations is expected not to exceed 8 or 0 per cent., the rate nujintained ^j^ other branches of the To extend the service 12.000 route*, a year until h becomes universal, the report says, will require such largely increased appropriations that the annual postal deficits for the ensuing two or three years uijl probably reacli $8,000,000 or $10,000,000. if not more: but once the service is completed the additional revenue derived will soon reduce the ! deficits to present figures, if not entirely |
