Postoffice department officials are enthusiastic over the movement in some of the larger states of the Union for the improvement of the highways, and it is claimed that the liberal appropriations for the rural free delivery service have stimulated this movement. From information being received at the department, it is believed by the officials that highway improvement will be stimulated in all the more thickly settled states as rapidly as the rural delivery is extended, and one of the conditions for establishing a new route is that the roads must be in good condition. It is claimed also that the service is enhancing greatly the value of farm property.
