POSTAL RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE
First 20 Days of January
Better Than Same Period
Last Year.

During the first 20 days in january.
1910. the postoffice business was so
heavy that two extra clerks were en-
ployed in the general delivery and di-
rectory departments.
The sale Of stamps and the postage
on second class matter during these
first 20 days Of the present year
amounted TO s7001.S1, compared with
s5471S7 during the corresponding 20
DAYS in January, 1909, showing an in
crease in the business of 80 percent
Such rapid and consistent gains are
being made in the handling Of mall
matter in FL PasO that the need for
new postoffice is daily becoming more
evident
