Twice-Day Mail Service To Cost 75 Million Year

By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, (UP) Postal officials estimate it would .cost $73,702,958 to restore twice-a-day home delivery of mail. Millions more could easily It® spent on other improvements if the department had the money. Buildings would he one big item. Hardly a post office in the country was built to handle its present volume. It has been estimated $250,000,000 would take care of the most "critical" places. The cut-back to one-a-day home delivery in 1950, along wit|i other reductions in service, was calculated to save $70,000,000. Since then the volume of mail, has increased, wages have been raised, and more carrier routes have been established to serve the expanding population. The 1950 cut-back eliminated about 13,000 jobs. A lot of them have 'been restored to handle the expanded volume and additional routes. A return to two-a-day now would take upward of 19,000 more employes. \ That would provide twice-a-,day home delivery io a little more than one-half of the nation’s 160,000,000 people. aAs for about 76,000,000 others, all the furore over once-a-day delivery means nothing \to them. They’ve never had anything better. ‘ ■ \ About\ 35,000,000 get no mail delivery at all. They go to the post office, often nothing more than a grilled window in a country store, to pick up their mail. An additional 34.000,000 are on rural route* which never have provided more than one —day de-livery-some of them only three a week. Some 7,000.000 have socalled "mounted” delivery—a one-a-day service for thinly populated areas which are neither farms nor have city delivery by foot carrier Postmaster general Arthur E. -Summerfield has ordered a nationwide survey to see whether two-a-day mail can be restored in line with the new administration’s promise of better service at less cost.
