NEARLY A THIRD MORE.
Large Increase of Christmas Mail Over
Preceding Years

There was an increase of about 80 per
cent in the amount of mail handled during
the Christmas period at the city post Office
over any preceding holiday record, but not
withstanding with this to distribute
throughout the city, the force of regular
and extra carriers handled it with such dis
patch and accuracy to call forth con-
gratulatory letter. through Major James E.
Bell, superintendent of delivery, from POST
master Merritt. The letter from Mr. Merritt
says:
Washington City Post Office,
"Office of the Postmaster,
Washington, D. c., December q, 1903.
Mr. James E. Bell, Superintendent of De-
livery, Washington City Post Office:
Sir: wish to congratulate, and at the
same time thank you for the prompt man
ner in which the large Christmas mail was
handled in your division. You will please
convey to your assistants. carriers and
clerks. my appreciation of their efficient
services. Very respectfully,
JOHN A. MERRITT. Postmaster"
An increase of nearly one-third over any
other holiday record means fully three times
as much mail as is regularly handled under
normal conditions. In order to facilitate the
work the carriers who made their regular
deliveries Christmas morning were upon
their return to the Office at once started out
on package delivery. In this way the mail
was prevented from accommodating in the
office.
Every regular man worked his full eight
hours every day and many of the extra
men made sixteen hours a day during the
rush. These latter were paid at the rate
of $500 a year for day of eight hours, but
were permitted to work as long as they
pleased. The first delivery during the heav-
lest part of the work began as soon as the
men could see to read the addresses and
continued long as daylight lasted.
Major Bell in congratulating the men on
their good work, says the result is due to
the system inaugurated and continued by
Postmaster Merritt. to whom full share of
credit should be given.
