from 10 cents a quarter TO % cents, OF
tsmall lock boxes from 20 to 40 cents, OF
medium size from IS to s. cents and OF the
large boxes from so cents to one dollar.
He at once wrote the department that the
old rate was in his opinion as high as our
people could reasonably be asked to pay
and that, in the event OF a rise in the rent,
many m ght be expected to give up their
boxes and allow their mail to go into the

Der of boxes In use until the receipts
would be no greater than they are now
On the strength OF his representation, the
department eountermsnded the order for
this office and the old rates stand.
