and respected citizen of Augusta, and filled
places of honor and trust in its municipal
government. For nearly three quarters of a
century he occupied the place now owned by
A. w. Palmer, at the corner of the road be-
tween Manchester and Augusta. Some thirty
wears ago, he entirely lost the sight of one
eve and the other was in iured so that during
that period he has been unable to read Tie
retained his faculties in remarkable degree
until abont year since when his hold on life
began gradually to give way. and now nature
sought the repose of the grave. Mr.. &. was
one of the pioneers OF Universalism in Augusta
and in connection with Rev. W. A. Drew,
with whom he was connected by marriage,

THE NEW POsrALLAw
Its Eject on the Salaries of po..m..,.r..

As the most Of our readers are aware. a
law, passed by the last Congress. taking
eject October LIST, 1888, reduces the postage
on nrst-class mail matter from three to two
cents for each piece not weighing over one
half ounce. Now as this reduction in post.
age rates would cut down the gross recent.
IN all offices, the salaries of po.tmasters
which are based on these receipts, would al.o
De reduced and, this being the case. a bill
was passed shortly before the adiournmen,
OF Congress adjusting the salaries of post
masters, presumably for the purpose
OF maintaining the salaries abou,
a. they are at present. But il
now turns out that the new law in many in
stances largely reduces the salaries of post.
masters of Offices now IN the first. second and
third classes so that in some instances thew
will be penuriously low hardly affordng the
postmaster living. The new law provide,
that offices shall be classed and salaries adj.
justed according to the gross receipt, as fol-
lows:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1883-03-27
2dCLAss.

But as nearly as can be ascerta iped the new
law will fall the heaviest on Offices now in
the second class. Not only will there be
reduction of between third and fourth Of
the present salaries in this class but there
will also be further diminu,ion. The law
provides that postmasters in second-class
Offices shall be allowed a certain sum for
rent, clerk hire, ETC., while those in third
class offices shall pay the ex-
penses of the office ont of their
salary. 1t will be seen that it
will make vast difference whether an of.
| flee is in the second or third class. The Of
| fees in Maine now in the second class which
will probably be reduced to the third are
those in Auburn, Bath, Calais, Gardiner,
| iIallowell, Rockland, Saco and Waterville
These offices each pay a salary now of
from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum. Under
the law the salaries of these offices
| taking ont the expenses for rent, etc, will
probably be diminished to from $500 TO
$1,000 year 1t 10 evident that in many in
stances it will be quite difficult to get compe
| tent men to fill these offices for meagre
| sum. From the above tables it will not be a
hard mater to calculate very nearly the
amount which these offices will pay provided
the gross receipts and expenses are known.
| Again. under the new law Augusta and Port
| land only will remain in the frst-class, Ban
gor falling to the second, that Office with
Biddeford and Lewiston being the
only offices under the head of the
latter class But while the salaries of many
offices in the first second and third class will
be contracted, the fourth class offices under
which most of the country offices now come.
will pay even better than they do now. Under
the present law postmasters in fourth class
offices retain 60 per cent of the first 500
worth of stamps cancelled. 80 of the second
and 40 of the third; under the
new law. they will retain 100 per
cent of the first $50 worth, 80 of the second
and 10 of the third. The reduction in post
age will not affect the Augusta postoffice in
so great degree as others. for the simple
reason that but small part Of the mail sent
! out from this office, as compared with other
| Offices is first class matter, this being the
! only class touched by the new law.
