SHORT-PAID LETTERS FOR FOR.
ElGN COUNTRIES.
Postofilce Department,
Office Of EorairD kTniI.
washington

Washington, ID. c., Feb. II, 1899.
The British office has advised this de-
partment that by reason of the large
number of short paid letters noticed in
mails received from the United STATES
an investigation of the matter has been
made. from which it appears that on
an average one letter in every TWENTY
five received from this country Is short
paid. while from some other countries
the average Is only one in every ono
hundred and forty.
As double the amount of the deficient
postage is required TO be collected upon
the delivery of short-paid letters. the
addresses of such letters frequently
refuse to receive them. and the letters
are returnd to this country as unde-
liverable; TO the annoyance of postal
officials rs well as of the scnders OF the
letters.
1t Is presumed that many cases of
short payment may be attributed to thu
fact that the unit of weight for the LET
ter rate of hostage in our domestic
mails is an ounce, while In information
al mails 1t is only half an ounce.
The evil would probably be rcmediod
to great extent If the attention of tho
public were called to the difference he
tween the unit of weight in our domes-
tic mails and the unit OF weight in in
ternational mails.
Postmasters are requested, therefore
to give as much publicity as Possible to
the circumstances that the passage ra 10
for letters for foreign countries is w.
90 cents for each half ounce or frac-
ton of half ounce: and that if postage
upon letters is not prepaid In fun nj
that rate. double the deficiency must he
paid by the addresses or the letters n ro
not delivered.
