The fiscal year starting July will see rural free delivery routes doubled from about 15,000 to 20,000. Congress funded 15,000 new routes, expanding coverage to roughly one third of the United States, with 600,600 square miles to be served by June 30, 1904. The system employs 14,005 carriers with very few removals for cause, and total annual costs will reach about $24,000,000 once fully extended, offering great public advantages.
