kota. There is no special rate for the
unit. and the unit system has simply
been adopted in order to make 1t
easier to compute the rates from one
part of the country to another.
This unit system commences with
the most eastern postonices on the is
lands in the Atlantic ocean of the
coast of Maine, and every thirty min
utes Of longitude is divided into fifty
units, north and south. The first num-
bers commence at the north and ex-

The charges are made by the zone,

weighing the necessary IL pounds re-
quired by this law.
The regulations specially prepared
to carry this law into effect, have not
yet been generally promulgated, but
will probably be received in the course
of a few days, and The same is true
Of the chart to go with the maps.
The department at Washington is
leaving much to the discretion and
good judgment of the local postmast-
ers, especially those at first class Of
fees, as to the details Of carrying this
new law into effect, and providing
such facilities as the public may re-
quire. It therefore will be necessary
for the business men generally, to
consult their local officials, as to the
extent to which they will probably
avail themselves of the privileges Of
this new law: if they wish to have
proper facilities afforded for the rap
idly and economic handling Of this
business.
