1t was found that by the use of these boxes
one hour and twenty-five minutes o day
was gained. At this rate if the boxes were
put up over the entire city, $4,000 o ear

put up In western district. showed . loss
of twenty minutes day. but collections
greatly increased by the following COM
parison: In ten days In April before the
boxes were put up 223 letters were collect
ed. but In ten days In June. after the es-
tablishment of the boxes the number of
letters collected was nine hundred, one
hundred being collected from the street
letter boxes and eight hundred from the
house boxes. The loss of time, however, Is
due not to the style of box but to the fact
that letters were mailed at home instead
of being sent down town, the increase be-
ing great enough thereby to overcome any
saving of time caused by the boxes
