Increase in Pay
Beginning next July all the rural mail carriers having a  standard route of 
24 miles will receive a raise in salary of $100 per year.  which will make 
their yearly salary $1,000 instead of $900 as it now is. . . .  This increase will be the third one granted the carriers since the department  was established 
in 1903.  The original pay of the carriers was $600 per  year.  This was 
increased to $750 two years later and in 1907 to  $900.
