The boxes were placed in position
on telephone posts yesterday, and are
similar to those used in cities of the
United States. The collection Of mail
from these will begin on May 1st.
In an interview yesterday, Mr.. Oat
said: "The scheme which have lust
completed is in the nature Of an expe-
riment, and j hope it will prove n
success. If the venture is successful,
more boxes will be put up.
"I intend to keep a record of all the
mail brought in from various locali-
ties where the boxes are situated.
Should / find that certain boxes con-
tain great quantity Of mail regular
ly l shall order more boxes in that vi.
cinity. If, however, mail is very
light in other localities ] shall order
the boxes removed.
"In regard to paper mail / do not
think there will be any trouble. Pa
pers may be placed on top Of the box
es, as is done in the States.
81 have been over the route myself
and have had men do the same. The
time of arrival at the various boxes by
a mail-carrier on a bicycle has been
taken from these experimental trips.
There are places where / have mark
ed the time of arrival of the collector
identical. The reason for this can be
plainly seen. The points are so close
together there is no material differ
ence in time.
"The plan of collection has been
arranged so as to take in all the reQu-
lar island Lnails and save persons ifv-
ing some distance from the postoffic
the trouble of long walk or ride. -
Following are the trips of the col
lector as arranged by Mr.. Oat:
First-Leave postoffice so as to reach
corner of Emma and School streets at
8:15 a. m. thence to Palama and re-
turn, reaching postoffice at $50 a. N.
Second-Leave postoffice so as TO
reach Waikiki Kai road at 9 80 q. m;
thence by way Of baseball grounds,
Beretania street and return, reaching
postoffice at 10 10 a. IA
Third-Leave postofiice so as TO
reach corner of Emma and School
streets at 1:24 p. M; thence TO PaIama
and return, reaching postofiice at
2 :35 p. IN.
Fourth-Leave postoffice so as to
reach Waikiki Kai road at 3 10 p. M;
thence by way Of baseball grounds,
Beretania street and return, TeachinE
postoffice at 3 80 p. m.
By glance at the collectors time
of arrival at the postofIice 10 will be
plainly seen how unnecessary il will be
to send through the boxes anything
for mails which close before S 80 a. N
10 10 a. m, . 35 p. m. or 80 p. IN.
Great credit is due Mr.. Oat for his
Zealousness i'm searching for means OF
benefting the public. In his position
he has always been known TO do
everything in his power toward adj
vancement. The Postmaster General
will receive the thanks OF the entire
community for the improvements ne
has recently inaugurated and which
have been so long needed.
