The study explained that this figure is Cass County's propor tion of Nebraska's share of the overall loss sustained by tax payers through the failure of the Federal Government to run the Post Office within its income. The Council's study showed that except for a few scattered years the Post Office has been doing business at a loss for 60 years. Since the end of World War II these losses were found to total $1,759,044,299 which means roughly an extra tax of $12 for every man. woman and child in the United States. Sunport for an effort in Con press" to cut $23,107,000 off the $555,000000 postal deficit ex pected this year was urged in the study. It recalled that in expectation of this cut Post master General Donaldson in April ordered such economics as a reduction from two to one in the number of mail deliveries daily in residential areas, fewer mail box collections, etc. But the House of Representatives re cently voted against these econ omies. Whether they will stick remains up to the Senate. In addition to this 23-million-dollar saving, the study urged the Hoover Commission recom mendations for putting the Post Office on a business-like basis be carried out. Finding the Post Office and the Bell Telephone System com parable in size, number of em ployees and the nature of their services (communications), the study observed that the private enterprise operated at a profit and paid Federal. State and local tqves last year totaling $346,144 000. It also pointed out that the Bell System acted as tax gatherer for the Government, collecting from subscribers and other users $445 000,000 last year in Federal excise taxes on tele phone calls.
