Transport: Expansion

Last week Postmaster General Farley decided to expand U. S. airmail mileage some 15,000 miles, at an annual cost of $1,332,938. He added twelve new round-trips daily to established domestic airmail routes. He extended air mail service to five new cities by authorizing stops on existing runs at Providence, New Haven, Elmira, Scranton, Youngstown. He introduced airmail to the Hawaiian Islands by authorizing Inter-Island Airways, Ltd. to carry mail between Honolulu, Lihue, Hilo and Wailuku.
