The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1890-10-04

The best indications of the growth of
a city next to the erection of houses and
the increase in the value of real estate,
are the receipts of the postotiice. Roa-
noke, taking these criterions as q guide,
not to mention the imperfect returns of
the census, which still gave her an i'm
mense momentum as one of the rapidly
growing cities of Virginia and the South,
still holds her own and all the best adj
vantages of this section of the State I'M
der the cold and uncertain calculation
of figures which never lie. 1t has been
said that figures never lie, but that men
sometimes lie with figures. In such
cases the crime is not with the integrals,
but the individuals. They are the ST
lent showers of facts and when they are
made known the figures are always
there.
Such has been the history of the world,
of cities, individuals: such is the
history of Roanoke. the Magic City OF
The Southwest. and of all other places
which rely on the truth and tests Of their
progress and advancement.
In every growing city the pOStOllicc Is
the barometer which indicates the ebb
and flow of the human tide within it's
borders, and taking this as the guage. as
the following figures will show, it will
be easy to see how Roanoke is growing
and how people still continue to gather
within her borders.
According TO the report of the efficient
assistant postmaster, Captain } M.
O'I'rien the gross receipts at the Roam
olle postoilice from the sale of stamps
and all other sources of revenue for the
quarter ending the 30th of last Septem
Der were So, 30O.Ol. For the quarter
ending June 30th, 1890. the receipts
were S7,TG5. For the quarter ending
March 3lst, 1890. the receipts were
$G.3l3.22, and for that ending December
3 LIST, 1889, the Office collected S5.3l9.O1,
A comparison of tho quarter ending
September 30, 1889. with that of the
same date of 1890, shows that the re-
ceipts of the Office then were only So
185.43, against the So, 3O0.O1 of the quar-
ter ending September 30 of this year,
leaving an increase of SO. l14.58 for this
year.
Besides showing the wonderful in
crease in the business of the postoftlce
and the population of the city, the
above figures tell plainly that more men
are needed by the postmaster to render
his service effective. and that the office
shonld be located in building owned
by the Government.
