One motive in instituting the
(runs-continental air mail rervice, he
laid, had been to demonstrate to
i‘men of means" that "commercial
aviation is a possibility." llow far
that had succeeded in attracting
capital to a new industry was best
shown, he thought, by the fact that
[he department recently received 10
bids for eight new mail routes it pro-
bescs to place in operation.
1 The l.’o.~tmuster General prefaced
his statement to the board with an
allusion to the controversy over the
nation's air defense in which he do-
clared "it is of course undtrstood
that the l’ostot't'ico lJt-ruirtntent has
no place In any ditl‘ert-nces among;

One and it it was possible for it ever
to be undertaken by private agencies
it was tirst lltCt‘Sb‘ill‘y to ilt‘lllttllsll‘tlit‘
that it was an entirely ieasiblc thing.
, “The Department several years
ago in cooperation with the War De-
partment made several well meant
but unsatisfactory experiments with
the air mail; for instance, a service
was established between New York
and Washington for which the War
Department for it- short time inr~

‘ "It. became apparent that it the
service was ever ;;oixt;.r to amount to
anything it had to be umlertaken
I on a. much greater scale of operation
and between points far more dis-
tantly separated. Service on sec-
tions of the present trans—continen-
tal line was inaugurated at different
times, that between Cleveland and
Chicago and Cleveland and New
.York in 1919. but it was not until
September 8, 1920, that through
inrvlce between New York and San
Francisco was atteniptml. Even

up again by plane at a point farther
filling the line next morning. it was
{101: long, however, until it became
apparent that if the trans-contin-
'entnl service was to amount to any-
. thing it had to be operated by night
as well as by day. To do this re.
quired the establishment of a. light—
ed airway to guide pilots, illuminat-
ed land fields and many other spe-
i
eial facilities, including equipment. of
planes themselves. This airway was
established from New York to Rock
Springs, Wyoming, 1,580 miles. at an
expense of $514,405.08, and the first
through day and night Iservice was
started July 1. 1924,
“The schedule Westbound, New
York to San Francisco, o. distance of
2.665 miles, is 34 hours and 20 min-
utes, which includes stops at 15 sta-
tions for service and exchange of
mail; that for the eastbound trip Is
29 hours and 15 minutes, the differ-
cnco being accounted for by the fact
that the prevailing winds are from
the west.
“The service has attracted atten-
tion and that it .iustltlcs itself by re-
sults will, I think, he conceded. The
degree of success of the effort to at-
tract. capital to a new industry and
stimulate interest in aeronautics is
best set forth by the result of the
Department's recent bids for private
conduct of eight new air mail routes
“We received 19 bids coming from
.12 ditl'errnt companies and Individu-
als. Some of them were perhaps in-
formal. Some of them may and prob.
ably will be rejected ter obviously
good reasons. but they have been
made in good faith and represent a
real purpose on the part 01' the bid-
der to undertake the service.
"(in September 21 we advertised
for tour new routes, bids for which
will be opened November 21. 1925.
All of these routes tie up with the
trans-coutincntai route.
“Mention of the New York-Chi-
ean‘o night route should not be omit-
ted. A special night service is now
being uiven between these two
citits. \Vcstbound the ships leave
