Don't Put Pennies
In r. r. d. Boxes.


Postmaster Cole. has received the
following letter from the Department
in Washington:
From recent count made by rural
carriers in one OF the counties in the
State OF New York of coins deposited
by patrons in their boxes for the pur.
chase OF stamp supplies, it was found
that each carrier in the county was
collecting an average of 115 one cent
coins each week. This average applied
to all the routes in operation through
out the country would give the enor-
nous total of about 300 900 900 one-cent
coins.
AS most OF these coins are deposited
loose in the boxes, it is desirable that
you and the carriers, in a tactfal and
polite way, put forth your best efforts
to induce patrons toprovide themselves
with stamp supplies in advance of their
needs, and to equip their boxes with
suitable coin-holding receptacles. 1t
should be explained TO patrons that
the picking of loose coins from boxes
not only results in needless hardship
and suffering to carriers in winter
weather, delays the delivery and col
lection of the mails, but frequently
results in actual money loss to the
carriers, for if in collecting coins from
boxes, they drop them into the snow
or on the ground without recovery,
they are required to replace the amount
out of their own funds.
eff it can be done without expense to
the Department, announcement of the
foregoing should he made IN your local
paper.
respectfully,
P. V. UeGraw.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.

duced the output Is per cent, and the
producers OF about 200. DOC. 00o pounds
more. while not agreeing about cur
