NAIL MATTER WEIGHED
For the Purpose Of Determining compensa-
ton Of Railroad Company.

The Augusta postoffice is in receipt
of an order from Washington, direct
ing that all mail matter received and
dispatched for the 80 working days
following Oct. 7, shall be weighed. The
work will be continued until Nov. TO-
including that day clerk from the
! railway mail service is at the depot
and another one on the train, while
one man by day and another by night
weighs the matter in the postofiice.
Records Of the scale must be kept ac-
curately daily, and forwarded to Supt.
Ryan in Boston. who will turn them over
90 the department at Washington.
There is reason for all this.
Every four years the United States
makes trade with the railway COM
panies for the carriage of it's mail. The
contract reads only for that length of
time because with the increase of pop
ulation and the dissemination of intel
ligence in all parts of the nation, the
amount of matter transported grows
gradually but steadily: thus if a long
contract We're made the railroads would
soon be Juggling much more than they
were paid for. SO the short contract
prevails.
Near the end of every four-year term
the department issues orders for the
weighing of the mail for a period of 80
days. The object is, of course, to effect
REIMBURSEMENT of the contract price re-
ceVed by the railways. The daily rec
ords will be kept carefully and aver
aged and upon that basisnew contracts
at price corresponding with the
change from the previous weighing pc
Rod. will be fixed foranother four years.
There is a good deal of work to all
this On every rail line running a m;Al
car in this country special clerk will
be run to weigh the mail matter for that
section. He will keep his own record
Then, too, every office must weigh
also, every ounce OF matter that goes in
or out of the establishment, every day
in the month This will effect a great
addition to the daily labor of the office
employees, and will doubtless occasion
some delays. Few of the offices are
equipped with scales for the purpose
and many of them will have to put in
large. machines for the time of the
special work in hand
w. j. Sturer of the Railway Mail
Service weighs the matter at the Au-
gusta station upon the arrival and de-
parture of each train.
