WORK OF CITY CARRIERS.
Those Who Receive the Larger and
Those the Smaller Salaries.

People familiar with the duties Of the
Augusta city carriers are hoping that
the bill before Congress to increase let
ter carriers salaries will receive a
passage. The letter carriers, in Au-
Susta, ut least. are entitled to all in
crease in wages they are likely to get.
Many have thought there was some
injustice in the present arrangement
where 4 letter carrier in a city under
IS. 900 receives only $3.50 per annum,
whereas q letter carrier in larger
city receives salary Of 81 900 per an
nun.
Recently Postmaster Minott of
Gardner. Mass, collected some inter
Cstirg statistics showing the amount of
work done by city carriers receiving
81 900 per annum as compared with
work done by carriers receiving $3.50.
also comparison between expenses of
living.
From these statistics it appeared
that each city carrier in New England
who receives salary of $1,000 per an
MIN, averages to serve 1850 people,
goes 1867 miles, delivers 90 TBS. of
first-class mail. 5S.06 Tbs. of all other.
or q total of 1906 lbs. per day. He
pays $1S.11 per month for house rent.
Postmasters report that they have good
sidewalks and that about One-half of
the houses are provided with boxes or
slots for reception of mail. At the
first and SecOnd-c!ass offices, where
ca rrierS receive $3.50, each carrier aver
ages to serve 1875 patrons. travels 1850
miles, delivers 11.3S lbs. Of first-class,
"a. "a lbs. of all other classes, total daily
average of $685. lbs. He pays STATS
per month house rent. Postmasters
report that about one-half of the
routes are provided with good side
walks, and that about one-third of the
houses are equipped with boxes or slots
for reception of mail.
According to the above figures. it
would appear that the $1,000 men de-
liver liza lbs. more mail per dag and
nav S..9S more per, month for house
rcat. while the $3.50 men serve So more
people and travel 2.S3 miles farther
nv ;l.y. The report on results of in
.cstigation goes on to say:
"By rules of the Department, rural
patrons are compelled to erect Sulta-
BILE boxes, or mail cannot be delivered
| to them. This investigation proves
among ether things that the routes III
the city free delivery service are not
provided with boxes or slots as they
should be. 1t would not seem unrea-
sonable if the Department should re-
uuire people who have their mail de-
livered by carrier to meet the service
| nalf way by erecting suitable conven-
fences for the reception Of their mall
| Ii this is DONE it would not only prove
a great time saver to the carriers put
| il would also be more satisfactory 10

two persons-one man who manipulate

Comedian" who was supposed TO en-.
terrain the audience between pictures
The moving pictures were bad enough
but the alleged comedian was rank
His idea of fun seemed to be to see
how frequently be could say "gol durn
i" within a given period of time, and
he essayed several coarse jokes that
cau-ed a considerable part of the
audience to leave the hall. The
thing was rotten bad, and the com
pany" ought to get at some more
congenial occupation, digging bitches,
or something like that.
