Postmaster-General Burleson announced on March 26th that the destruction wrought by the floods in Ohio and Indiana was so serious that it would be ten or twelve days before a regular mail service could be resumed with the remote districts. Reports showed that never before in the history of the service had there been such a serious interruption to the mails on account of floods.
