Postal Revenue Slips in Last Fiscal Year Amid Rate Changes
The Third Assistant Hotmaster-General reports a fall in postal revenue for the year ending June 30, with receipts at 42,560,843 and expenditures 50,942,415. A 1.7 percent revenue drop from 1884, rate changes in October, and weight-unit increases affect first and second class mail. A deficit for postmasters necessitates further appropriation, while special delivery shows limited impact in smaller towns. Additional notes discuss Ecuador’s new tariffs impacting U S trade.
