The postmaster il responsible for the en-
! tire government and dispatch of the mails at
| this office. Inquiry and complaints should
be made direct to the postmaster or assis
| tant postmaster. Complaints in writing
| should be addressed to the postmaster
In cases of delay or misdelivery the envel-
ope should be produced showing the post
marks. This is very important aud essential
Every case of inclvility or disrespect on
the part of any employees connected with
| the postal service should be Immediately
reported by letter to the postmaster, marked
"personal."
When a letter is wrongly left at house or
wrongly placed in a box in post office, the
fact should be noted in ink on the back of
! the envelope thus: "Wrongly left at
Dec. th," and the letter should be Immediately
deposited in the post office or in a letter box,
! and the person to whom 1t Is addressed,
| Rhen he receives it, should send the envel-
| ope at once to the postmaster, that an in
vestigation may be made as to the cause of
| Loss of mail matter should be reported at
once to the office, and, for the purpose of
| having proper record of the circumstances,
a blank for the purpose can be obtained at
the office.
All mail matter at large post offices is
necessarily handled in great haste, and
| should therefore in all cases be So PLAINLY
! ADDRESSED as to leave No Room FOR DOUBT
| AND No EXCUSE For ERROR on the part
| of the postal employees. Names of
| States should be wriffen IN ftH (or their alb
/ breviations very distinctly written) in order
/ to prevent errors which arrive from the simi-
larity of abbreviations. Never send letters
| containing money or yaluables by mail with
out registering them, and never send bank
notes or gold or silver money at allif you can
procure check. draft, or money order.
! RATES OF POSTAGE.
Approximately, the rate on letter is two
| cents for every ounce and fraction thereof in
| the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and
| five cents for every half ounce to European
| countries. A single newspaper is trans
mitted in the domestic mail at the rate of
| four ounces for one cent. Books are sent at
| the rate of two ounces for one cent, and mer
cific information regarding the classification
| of mail matter or postage inquire either at
| the stamp window or of the postmaster.
THE CONVENIENCE OF LETTER BOXES.
Patrons in cities where letter carriers are
boxes at place of business or private resi-
! denees, thereby saving much delay in the de-
! livery of mail matter.
Request all your correspondents to address
your mail matter to the proper street and
| number.
