PARCELS POST
BILL AGREED ON
Senate Committee Finally Comes
to an Understanding.
CAUSED A LENGTHY DISPUTE
Country Divided Into Eight Zones
Under the Provisions OF
the Measure

Washington. July 20.-After a dis
cute Of more than two months the
senSte committee on postofices and
post roads reached an agreement on
the postofice appropriation bill and
the measures will be reported on Mon
day.
The parcels post provision, the prin-
cipal matter in dispute, was finally
threshed out by Senator Bourne, the
author of the original provision in the
bin. and Senator Bristow of Kansas,
former assistant postmaster general.
The result was a compromise.
Senators Bristow and Bourne, sit
ting as a subcommittee on the parcels
post, agreed on a modification of Sen
ator Bourne's plan 1t retained Sen
ator Bourne's scheme for a division or
the country into within which
rates for the transmission of parcels
shall be the same. Senator Bristow
believed that the Bourne plan would
place rates so low that the project
would be found impracticable. To
meet his objections eight zones were
outlined, instead of six as originally
planned, and the rates proposed by
Senator Bourne were slightly in
creased. The maximum rate remains
at IL cents, the rate of the postal
union.
Zones and Rates Of Postage.
Senators Bourne and Bristow agreed
upon the parcels post as fol
lows:
First zone, length fifty miles; rate
8 cents for the first pound, 8 cents for
each additional pound.
Second zone, length $50 miles; rate
9 and 4 cents.
Third zone length 900 miles; rate Z
and 5 cents.
Fourth zone, length 600 miles; rate
Q and 6 cents.
Fifth zone. length 1000 miles; rate
0 and Z cents.
Sixth zone, length 1,4O0 miles; rate,
10 and 9 cents.
Seventh zone, length 1900 miles;
rate, IL cents per pound straight.
Eighth zone, length, over 1900
miles; rate. IL cents per pound
straight. Maximum packages, eleven
pounds.
AS completed by the senate commit
tee the bill carries about $685. 00. 600.
or an increase OF about 81. 700, 900 over
the house provisions.
