RECORD POSTAL RECEIPTS.
Gain of $4,000 and Two Million Marx
Almost Reached.

Minneapolis postoffice receipts for
the governments fiscal year ending
June 80 are the greatest yearly re-
celpts In the history of the office ac-
cording to figures complied by
Postmaster w. D. Hale. The gross
receipts for the year were $1.975,111.-
IL, and still Mr.. Hale is disappointed
because the $2,O0O,000 mark was not
overtopped. The increase over the
previous year is $91, 1886.
I'VE had confidently expected that
the gross receipts of the Office would
exceed $2,0O0,OOO, said Major Hale in
explaining why he is disappointed, but
a check in business in February and
March reduced the receipts just about
enough to keep the totals below the fig
ures we hoped to attain. Still, the in
crease of more than $91, 900 for a year
and the fact that we came within
$4,000 of having our ambition salts
fed is gratifying"
June's totals are the largest of any
corresponding month since Minneapolis
had a postoffice. The gross receipts
were $156, 6,420.18. as compared with
$143, 1852 for June, 1910. The in
crease for the month is $13,234.62, or
9.24 per cent.

Credits Tax Is Pushed.

Fergus Falls.-The board of equaliza-
tion is at work in this city and has
decided to make determined effort
to secure the listing of credits which
have heretofore escaped taxation. Un-
der the new law, which makes the tax
on credits only So $1,000, the assess
ors have listed $4,000 as compared
with a total of only $4,000 last year.
The equalization board believes that a
great deal more can be brought in, has
made a large number of assessments
and has sent notices to those affected
to appear and show cause why they
should not pay tax on credits.
The state railroad commission an
nounced the appointment of Charles c.
Neale of Minneapolis as head of the
new department Of weights and meas
ures, which is being established under
the direction of the commission by
virtue of a law of the recent legisla-
ture. Neale's appointment will date
from July 10 and he will have salary
