The gentleman from New Jersey . a member of the postal commission charged with the investigation of the subject. states that the Government is paying for the use of these railway postoffice cars at the rate of 18.64 cents per mile. whereas the cost of operation alone for the carriage of a passenger car is 19.41 cents per mile. The Government is obtaining this service for t little less than the real cost of operation of passenger cars. Now. in view of these figures. does the gentleman believe that the officials who have entered into contracts for the Fish Commission and the Immigration Department at 25 cents per carmile should be discharged from the Government service?
