POSTAL news.
New System of Carrier Registration
Goes Into Effect April 10.

Postmaster Freeman said TODAY
that on April 16 the new system ii
registration of letters by carriers
will be put in operation in the resi-
Dental districts of this city. For
the present this service will be con
fined to residences, but will be ex-
tended to business houses as soon as
it seems practicable to do so.
Owing to the fact that carriers are
strictly enjoined against maxine
overtime. it is necessary that No
more time than is absolutely ueces-
sary shall be given to the regis
tration of letters by them Where
a letter is not all ready for regis
tration, properly directed, the
name and address of the sender on
the envelope and the proper amount
of postage on the letter or the exact
change given to the carrier with
which to procure such postag,, tie
carrier is positively prohiblJed from
receiving the letter for registration.
Neither may he stop to explain the
reason of his refusal to receive it, but
will hand the person offering such
letter a card with full printed in
structions on it from which he NAV
see why the letter was refused. Car
riers are positively forbidden to en-
gage in any discussion whatever.
Among the instructions are the fol-
lowing sentences:
"a glance will tell if the letter is
properly prepared for registration
If it be, the carrier will write the re-
ceipt; if not, he will simply decline
it, and hand out a card of informa-
tion form 1899 RI, which will explain
his refusal.
The carriers at this office are now
working on very close time, that is
they have about all they can do now
to deliver their mail and make their
collections within the eight hours
which they are allowed to work
each day. 1t is, therefore, very much
to be hoped that they will not
ate~sAaE,. ass<a- 1azssasi.ss. s..ssA-.
ters if they are compelled for any
reason to refuse to accept letter Of
fered for registration and that our
citizens will not consider them impo-
lite or lacking in courtesy.
