Postmaster General Outlines Plan to Boost Postal Efficiency
In his first annual report to the president, Postmaster General Hays outlines efforts to keep the Postal Service efficient amid deficits. He notes 463 million dollars in revenue for the last fiscal year versus 621 million dollars in expenditures, pinning the gap on railroad compensation and higher pay for postal workers. He recommends salary readjustments, departmental name change to Department of Communications, and various reforms including return receipts, fees for address services, and a funding-based guaranty system for officers and employees. He also calls for service pensions, Sunday holiday sick leave limits, and expanding armed protection for valuable mail. At year end, the system included 52,188 post offices with rising class counts and higher average salaries for clerks and carriers.
