HIS PAY Is A CENT A YEAR.
Sawyer of Freedom, N. H., Closes a
Mail Contract with the Governm ent

A question which may give the post
office authorities at Washington consid-
cradle trouble, says the Sun, is how
they are going to arrange the quarterly
payments of Mail Contractor Sawyer.
Sawyer began on July l his contract of
carrying the mail between Freedom, N
H., and Centre Ossipee, the nearest
railroad station, for one cent a year. AS
the mail contractors are paid quarterly
| the question has arisen at Washington
how Sawyer is to be paid, but the de-
partment is understood to have passed
it over for the time being, as the Off
cials say they are not crossing bridge
| util they come to 1t.
Another interesting phase of this nov
ell mail contract is being discussed by
the patrons of the office. The question
| is being asked how the department is
| going to retain any of the contract
money i'm the event of Sawyer missing a
| trip. Uncle Sam is very close-fisted in
these matters. The mail contract is an
! ironclad agreement and excuses don [
| so for not collecting or delivering mail.
| For each trip that is missed Uncle Sam
reserves a portion of the contract mon
! ey. The probabilities are that payment
for the first three quarters in Sawyer s
case will be omitted, and for the year
ending on June 80. 1898, the whole cent
until they come to it.
There is an interesting story connect
ed with this mail contract. For six
years Charles b. Danforth carried the
mail between Freedom and Centre
Ossipee. Danforth runs the stage coach
and local express between this town
and Rochester, N. II. He received $3.50
a year from the postoffice department
for the work. Freedom is almost nine
miles from Center Ossipee. Carrying
the mail means that the carrier must
be up with the birds and drive over the
rough country roads, meeting the first
east bound train at Centre Ossipee at
7 a. IN. The mail from Boston arrives al
| l p. m., and by the time it is delivered
| at Freedom it is nearly 3 p. m This has
| to be done every day in the year except
| Sunday. There were several bids for tbs
place this year. Danforth has a mortal
neighbor. He heard Sawyer was after
his job. So to be sure of beating Sawyer
he put his figure at IS a year. When the
bids were opened later he was cha grined
to learn that Sawyer's bid was one cent
year. Sawyer got the contract and or
July l entered upon the performance
of his new duties. Sawyer has no bust.
