NEW RULING IS
WELL LIKED HERE
Parcel Post Stamps or Regular
Stamps Will Carry Any Kind
of Mail Matter as Result of
New Order.

Tuesday was the first day on which
ordinary stamps could be placed on
parcel post packages. No more parcel
post stamps will be issued. but. those
in circulation can be placed on any
mail matter. either on letters or second
class matter and the letter VIII be car
ried as if an ordinary stamp had
been placed on il.
This is in accordance with the post
master generals ruling which went
into effect July 1. Special parcel post
stamps were installed by the postoffice
department as it was thought neces-
sary that this matter should be han
died separately and that the clerk
would be able TO recognize il with less
difficulty If a special stamp was used.
II was found that the special stamp
caused delay in other departments Of
the office and therefore it was discon-
tinued.
The new ruling is we'll liked by the
local pOstOffice clerks. 1t lessons the
confusion and expedites the handling
of packages. Instead of handling so
many different kinds of stamps the
clerks will have only the regular issues
TO care for.
