RAPID GROWTHOF POSTAL
SERVICE IN ATLANTA HAS
AMAZED DEP ARTMENT
Receipts for Each Month and for the
Year Show the Local Office Is In
creasing It's Business Far Ahead of
Any Other Place in the South.

Postmaster Hugh L. Mckee, in
summing up certain details Of his
more than three years administration
in Atlanta, is full of enthusiasm with
respect to the local postal service and
its amazing growth.
Mr.. Mckee has recently returned
from Washington, where he went
into the Atlanta postal situation thor
oughly with the PostOfice Depart
ment, and in the course Of his visit he
succeeded in opening the depart
ment's eyes concerning many features
u the service heretofore seemingly
unknown or unapprecisted In Wash
ington.
For one thing, the postmaster was
able TO show the Postoffice Depart
ment that Atlanta's postal growth o:
late years has been much more rapid
than the average, and still is going on
at an astonishing rate, and that At
'anta's business is the largest of any
office in the South.
Can't Realize Great Growth.
Mr.. Mckee realizes that there are
faults in the Railway Mail Service, and
while he will not enter into a criti-
cism of the same, he admits readily
that there is room for Improvement
He anticipates great improvement
soon, however.
"One OF the hardest things l have
10 encounter with department heads"
said Mr. Mckee. lis to make them
realize the unusual and constantly in
creasing business done by the Atlanta
postoflce.
In view of the fact that the growth
Of the mail service throughout the
country averages only between and
per cent annually, the department
is at a loss to understand Atlantas
growth Of from 10 to 20 per cent.
In February. 1910. when 1 took
charge of the Atlanta Office, the re-
ceipts were $50, whereas the re-
ceipts for February. 1913, were SILL
095. The receipts for January, 1910
were S90,929, and the receipts for Ian
uary, 1913. were SI32. 5S4
While the receipts are the most
substantial Indication OF the business
done at a postofiice, there are other
features which are to be considered in
arriving at an actual understanding
OF the local service. For instance, ap-
proximately 4 square miles additional
territory have been given city deliv-
cry service. There has been a growth
in the volume of second class mail
ings and mailings of the third class,
which the actual receipts Of the Office
DO not positively index.

Another feature Of the service that
has been added under my adminlstra-

service, which was universally adopted
