A Postal Telegraph System Bill Introduced by Senator Butler
The bill establishes a postal telegraphic system under the Postmaster General to connect principal U.S. post offices with new lines, using bids and newspapers for notices, and allowing existing telegraphs to be incorporated if cheapest. It sets routes across major cities, fixes rates at ten cents for ten words and five cents per extra ten, and authorizes stamp like postage for telegrams with designated blanks and cards.
