The Shaker laid lfore the House yesterday a letter from the Postmaster-General replying to the House resolution in reference alleged irregular and inelficont mail service in rural districts attributed to the sub-letting of mail contracts. The Postmaster-General says that the Milletting is authorized by the act of Congress. The advisability of modifying the law so as to prohibit .sub-letting, he says, has received considerable attention from Congress and two methods have been recommended by those advocating the change. First, to prohibit sub-letting altogether, and, second, requiring the approval of bidders sureties by postmasters at post-ofllces upon or contiguous to the routes to which the proposals relate. Changes In the law governing wail lettings, he says, would not be likely to occasion changes In the l)cpertietJ manner of checking and certifying the amount and character of the service actually performed on each contract n). The methods In this respect. It Is " lieved, are already most complete. Ho says that the Department prefers continuing for n time at least, to tost its ability to advance the star branch of the mall service by a most rigid enforcement of existing regulations, rather than by the renewal of a recomm nda tion for the enactment of new statutes ,.V Forgery Fore ami Mm pie AV.tiiNTO.v, Jan. .
