Mail Contracts Pie for Railroads
The mail service payments to railroads last year totaled about forty five million dollars with five and a half million for postal car rentals. If railroads received no more for carrying mails than for express, the postal department would save about twenty five million of the forty five. Experts conclude railways receive far more from mails than from express or first class freight and that total railway mail pay should not exceed twenty million per year.
