CIRCULAR TO POST MASTERS.


9th MAY, 1926.
STE Complaints have been lately made of the
delay and sometimes loss of Newspapers sent by
mail. These may be attributable in some cases. 10
the careless manner in which papers are prepared
for the mail, but, in others, they are believed TO
arise from the inattention design of Post Mas
ters II is feared that of them forgctfnl
of their duty, consult the convenience OF con-
tractors on horse routes by retaining part of the
packets when the mail is so large that the usual
number of bags cannot contain it, Others is said
being more culpable, retain newspapers to read
them. a moments reflection must convince every
Post Master, guilty of either of these charges, that
he trGes with tile obligatongmposedb his oath OF
Office and should be held responsible for such gross
violation Of duty.
Publishers of Newspapers and their Subscribers,
well as Post Masters, requested 10 report 10
the Department, all irregularities in the reception
Of papers forwarded in thu mail, and assurance is
given, that where the irregularity shall be proved
TO have been produced by the negligence or design
Of any contractor, PDsi Master, or clerk, the most
efeciual steps shall be taken 10 prevent its recur-
renee
1t is often Of as much importance to the public,
and always as essential to the reputation Of the
mail that Newspapers should be speedily and
safely transmitted, as Letters; and an Individual
who is instentive to the former, isunworiby ri
being trusted with the latter. lie is stranger 10
tina, high incentive to duty, which arises from an
ardent desire elevate the character of the Depart
ment by giving the utmost efficiency to its opera
tions.
IN the post Office law, il is provided, that, " II
any person employed in any Department Of the
Post Office, shall improperly detsin, delay, embez
zle, or destroy, any Newspaper, or shall permit
any other person to do the like, or shall open, or
permit any other person 70 open, any mail pack
ct OF Newspapers, or shall em5ezzle or destroy
the same not being directed to such person, or not
being authorized o receive open the same, such
offender shall, on conviction thereof, pay sum
not exceeding twenty dollars for every sueh Of
= fence"
/ At all Offices where Newspaper are mailed,
Post masters should see that they are properly put
up and directed. None should be forwarded in the
mail, except such as are ed by a substantial
envelope, and have a legible surerscripiion.
II this Injunction strictly Observed the num-
Der OF failures would be greatly reduced
UnJer no circumstances, should any part OF the
mail be left on route short Of its destination
This may always be avoided, by Post Masters At
the imporian; Offices, keeping one or more extra
mail bags.

Paragraph, have been received In the city OF New

The art of printing has long taken rank in the
