USE OF TELEPHONE FOR
SPECIAL DELIVERY MAIL
Assistant Postmaster General Submits
Interesting Communication.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne has sent 10 the Senate an inter-
esting communication relative TO the use
OF the telephone in the collection and
delivery Of special delivery mail matter.
Mr.. Wynne says:
In the year 1912 postmasters at the
following offices were authorized TO
adopt the system OF collection and de-
livery of local special delivery mail mat
ter in response TO telephone and Other
calls; Buffalo. y. Y; Gardner. Mass;
Macon. Ga; Saginaw West Side. Mich;
Carthage. Mo; Dayton. Ohio; Syracuse.
y. Y; Concord, n H; Fort Scott. Kan;
Lowell. Mass.
The service is also in use in the
Washington. d. c. office.
A person who desires 10 send a spe-
cisl delivery from one part of the city
TO another deposits the same at any sta
ton. with ordinary postage properly pre-
paid and special delivery stamp. The
clerk in charge OF the station immedI-
ately calls up the main Office and re-
quests a messenger who goes direct to
the station. receives a letter or pack
age. and delivers It direct 20 the ad-
dressee This service can only be used
at such Offices as have contracts or ar
engagements for use OF telephone without
charge.
The practice at the Washington Of
fee is that at the end OF each day the
clerk in charge of the station is re-
CURED TO furnish the main office. on /.
blank provided for the purpose. a state
ment of all special delivery matter dis
patched in this manner from his sta
ton. --z-....,-,a.,.-.,
In the time the service has been in
operation IL has been appreciated by the
public and used to a large extent for
local mail.
In reference TO the use OF telephones
for the delivery OF rural mail matter. I,
is felt that Il is practicable 10 use the
telephone in connection with the rural
free delivery service, especially in those
counties or communities in which the
service is well established. and the tele-
phone generally used by the farmers or
by country stores"
