Post Office Clerks Get Increase.

The Owosso post Office clerks will
have total of five hundred dollars
salary more during the coming year
than they have had during the present
year. Official notice of the increase
was received by Postmaster Dewey yes
terday afternoon. The increases are as
follows; John S. Haggart, clerk in
charge of Station No. 1, from 800 to
$500; Fl. P. White, mailing clerk, from
$500 to 5000; H. NJ Miller, general de-
livery clerk from 5000 to $700; May E.
Lawrence money order clerk, from
5000 to 700; R. A. Lord, general deliv-
cry clerk, from 5000 to 500.
The salaries of all post Office clerks are
readjusted each year, before July 1st,
the beginning of the fiscal year of the
department The readjustment is made
after consideration of the recommends
tions Of the postmaster who in turn has
to be guided by department rules.
Even then, however, it more frequently
than not happens that for some reason
best known to the department itself the
recommendation of the postmaster are
disregarded both as to the number OF
the clerks whose salaries are increased
and the amounts of the increases. II
the postmaster, on his congressman,
takes the matter up in person the
chances are naturally much better for
an office getting the attention it de
serves.
In the present case much credit is due
Congressman Fordney who went to the
head Of the salary and allowance divis-
ion several times before coming home
two weeks ago and made sure that the
needs of the clerks at the Owosso Office
We're duly considered. Mr.. Fordney
convinced the department that the
clerks We're not receiving pay as they
should, and the order received yesterday
afternoon is the outcome of the recon-
mendation and his attention to the
same. The work of the Office has natu-
rally greatly increased with the estab-
lishment of the numerous rural routes
! and after the establishment of the two
additional routes which will begin serv-
ice on the 1st of July the work of the
clerical force will be still further in
creased. Seven rural routes will then
leave the Office daily besides thesseven
city routes, making total of fourteen
carriers, alr of whom help swell the
amount of work in each of the other de
partments, money order, registry, stamp
division, etc. In addition to the in
crease of Office work in these divisions
from the increasing number of carriers.
the two sub-stations where money or
ders are sold and the letters and pack
ages received for registry, also have add
ed their share to the work of the main
Office while doing an increasing busi-
ness for themselves Both in fact Have
shown a substantial increase in business
though naturally that of Station No
has show the greatest increase, the sale
of money orders at that station rivalling
that of many Offices of considerable
size in different parts of the country.
