NEW POST OFFICE REGULATION
Jilt IXsmboiiiM of Mail
By Clerks on Steamships
The Postmaster states that, in
future, all mat! clerks, on steamers
•viU distribute mail, in sections, for
:ie local post office, Fasroai of
the office owning boxes as well as
those receiving their mail through
foxes belonging to others, should
, hare their snail addressed to box
numbers.
For instance Section A. includes
from 1 to MW, Section B. from there
on to 200, etc. Now. bow trill the
clerks on the steamships know to
what section your letter belongs un
less you hare it addressed to the
number of your boat. If be dees net
know. be will put it with a lot ©:
others which will necessitate the
oca: clerks to look where to put that
a
etWk, taking much of his time and
yours in doing so. Whereas, if the
number of your box is written on
the letter or paper, it will go to its
proper place without any delay, thus
contributing your share in the light
ening of the burden imposed upon
'.be clerks through your negligence.
As the postmaster said. "I: is com
paratively a small matter to have
‘■he number of the box put on a
etter. when by doing so, we are
saved from a great deal of work
and exempted from making mis
takes.”
