Instead OF at the Hour
Formerly Used

There We're 1852 pieces of mail
of every description handled by the
Greeley Postoffice on May ..
Uncle Sam wants to find out
just what 1t costs him to carry and
deliver a two cent letter, as well
as lot of other things, and to that
end he is having each post office
in his domain keep accurate count
OF every letter, circular, newspaper,
magazine or package handled, sent
out and received, besides lot of
other things that he wants 10 know
about. He is an economical old cod
ger, at times, too, so he is not al
lowing any extra clerks for this ex-
ira work. This is why you some
times don't get your weekly paper
or package for several hours after
the letters are distributed.
The work commenced Monday
morning, and will continue month
Thus far Tuesday has been the
biggest day in the Greeley office
with the record above given.
Mondays total was 10,00S, Wed.
nesday, 10,946. The incoming let.
ters alone for Wednesday was 6759
and as each Of these pieces has tt
be handled from three to five times
with count for each, it makes al
immense amount of extra labor.
Commencing Sunday, tomorrow
by department orders, delivery from
the carriers windows will be en-
tirely discontinued on Sunday, bu
the mail will be- distributed into
the boxes and the general deliver,
as usual. The hour for opening tn
general delivery will be change'
to from IL to 12 o'clock, also. Thi
is made necessary by the later ar
rival of trains the past few months
and, at this time, by the extra tim
useed in the counting of piece:
making it impossible to get the ma
distributed for the former ten o
clock opening.
Considering the extra work il
volved the Greeley office is han
\ ling the mail in excellent shap
though much mail is being delay
through jams elsewhere.

SAFE AND
Sane DAY
ON FOURTH
COUNCIL CLAPS LID ON THE
EXPLOSIVE JOY
NEXT WEDNESDAY CLEAN UP
Will Let Contract for New Filter
Bed at Early Date-Pians of
the City Engineer are
Adopted

There is sorrow for the kids and
Joy for the old ladies in the action
of the city council Friday when a
decision was reached to have a safe
and sane Fourth of July in Gree
ley. The lid will be clamped on
tight so far as dangerous explosives
are concerned and the youngster
whose patriotism is beyond restraint
will have to HE himself to the great
world beyond the city limits,
Another matter of interest to the
public was the decision to have a
clean up day on next Wednesday
May 10. The mayor is out with a
proclamation today asking that all
Join in making Greeley a spotless
town and announcing that the city
will cart away all rubbish accumu-
lated by citizens who participate in
the cleaning. The mayor objected
to calling the day an annual clean
up day, because. he said, it looked
as though Greeley only washed its
face once a year instead of being on
the job continually. He thought
that the day ought to be sort OF
grand opening for the summer sea
son and the occasion when the city
should wear its best front. And
thus will be the clean up day.
The chief business of the council
was Of least interest to the general
public as a story, but is Of vital in
terest to their insides. This had tC
do with the new filter bed and the
plans and specifications OF the cit!
engineer were approved and he was
ordered to advertise for bids in the
newspapers of Greeley, Fort Collins
Denver and Pueblo. All haste will
be made in completing the work sc
that the city water supply will be in
creased by the time the hot weather
comes. The new filter will have
cost approximately $4,000 wher
completed.
