Postal Service Faces Deficit Despite Rural Delivery Growth
The fiscal year ending June 30 shows a 92.52 percent rise in postal deficits over the prior year due to rural free delivery expenditures. Receipts totaled 143,582.02 with expenditures at 152,362, leaving a shortfall of 8,779. An improved outlook suggests self-sustainability may return as normal costs rise only gradually. The report notes potential benefits from postal uniformity and the possible introduction of an international postage stamp. Dead letters revenue from unclaimed goods totaled 24,210.
