PARCEL POST MAP BARRED.
Post ONCE Department to Adopt
Charts in Its Stead.

The use OF the cumbersome parcel post
map has been ordered discontinued by
Postmaster General Burleson In so far
as postmasters and the general public are
concerned as means Of determining
rates OF postage. In the future a chart
will be prepared from the original map
by the Post once Department especially
for each unit OF area, showing the loca-
ton Of the various units from that par
dcular point. and bound in the parcel
post guide.
This arrangement will make IT possible
to locate a unit and determine the rate
OF postage on a parcel more readily. To
do this It will only be necessary to refer
to the name of the post office in the
guide to learn the number OF the unit In
which II Is located and then consult
the special chart for the zone location or
the unit. The use of the map has not
only been found expensive, but requir
ing too much time TO locate unit.
