DEAD LETTERS.
It is estimated that the cost of sdver-
tising the letters which are sent to the
dead letter office, not being delivered, will
be $4,000 year. This is an entire loss
to the Department.
If large portion of advertised letters
were delivered, this expense might, the
Department believes, be justified by advan-
tages accruing to public interests. 1t is q
fact that al least seventy per cent. of the
advertised letters are sent to the dead letter
office. In some of the larger offices the
per centsge is less than fifteen per cent. In
view of these facts the Postmaster General
hss deemed it expedIent to rescind his in
structions to Postmasters under Section
of an act approved March 81, 1865. Every
Postmaster is required to notify publishers
of ADVERTISED letters of his office that here
after, for reasons above stated, only one
cent per name win be paid for such ad-
vertising.
It is not possible to effect his arrange
ments to have the list published in the
newspaper having the largest circulation.
At this rate Postmasters will then cause
lists to be printed and posted conspicuously
as a substitution for newspaper publica-
ton, provided that the entire expense of
such printed lists shall not exceed one cent
per name. If neither of these arrange
ments can be effected, he will merely post
manuscript lists, for which no charge will
be allowed
