Yesterday morning, Jan. list, the Chel-
sea postottice began transacting business
under an entirely different system than
ever before, the Office having been
changed from fourth class to a salaried
or third class office.
The st lady increase in the revenue for
t Ine past two years has made this possible.
Inc only time it was ever near third class
Oelore was the year the shoe factory was
running at its height, when for two quar-
tefs the receipts were sufficient, but the
'nlrd quarter failed to reach it.
Inc receipts of the office are now based
on The sale of stamps, instead of upon
Cahcellation. The postmaster will now
oe appointed by the president and con
nfined by the Senate, instead of by the
assistant postmaster-general, and receive
hxed salary, instead of depending upon
per cent of cancellation as in fourth
class office.
This office has always been we'll con-
uueted and no trouble has ever arisen
