Substitution of Autos for Horse and Cart Likely to Cause a Roar Washington, December 27:?Signs multiply that there will be a fierce outbreak of pent-up Congressional ire against Postmaster General Burleson after the holidays. The immediate cause is the reorganization of rural routes in the various States by the substitution of automobile vehicles for the familiar horse and cart affair. It is claimed by the department that one automobile route can handle the work of several horse and isolidation of ordinary routes into ? ;o routes has resulted in serious E erioration of the service. Most E the Congressmen who are on the I rpath against the department on s account admit that there are,l es where economy is possible by ; nbining routes according to the j mrtmental theory, but they con,d that a man or a board of men ;ing at Washington with a map is J ; competent to allow for the local :uliarities of routes and often! kes bad blunders. '.t is the idea of the average Con-! jssman that he knows his district j ;ter than the post office depart- j nt knows it, and he does not like be left out of consultation when :onomies" of this sort are plan1.
