PARCEL POST INDEMNITY
lnst'!etions q Post Office Department
on What Insurance Svvers.

Boston. n.-Information has been re-
ceived by Postmaster Mansfield from
the Third Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral to the effect that for the present
the insurance of parcel post matter
provided for by section 90 OF the Par
eel Post Regulations, covers only the
loss or rifiing Of a package, similar
TO what has been done in paying in
demnity claims on account OF domes-
tic registered mail in the past. Pay
ment will be be made for damage un-
less the article, which has been pre-
pared and wrapped as requn eu by the
regulation, is so damaged as TO be
rendered entirely worthless. Each
such instance will be decided upon by
the facts, and no more definite state
ment can be made in advance as to
what action will be possible in a par
ticular case of this kind.
Addresses should in such cases
preserve the wrappings and an exam
ination, if practicable, should be made
on or after delivery at the office Of
destination. in order that the post
master may be in a position TO state
also whether it was adequately wrap
ped.
Pending the receipt OF special
forms, now being prepared by the de-
partment, claims for indemnity should
be made in writing by the senders and
addresses and postmasters, incorpor-
ating the requirements of section 90,
paragraphs S and 9, Parcel Post negu-
lations. This statement should be
acknowledged before a postmaster
without cost TO the senders or address
sees, or before a notary.

LESS LUMBER SURVEYED.
Decrease of Yearly 100000 Feet at
Bangor in 1912.

Bangor.-Although lyIl Witnessed a
marked revival Of prosperity in the
Penobscot River lumber trade, the
report of the surveyor general shows
that nearly 100000 feet less lumber
was surveyed at this port than in
1911 and 100000 feet less than in
1910. The reason for this is that large
quantities OF lumber shipped in 1912
were sawed and surveyed in former
years, but carried over to 1912, be-
cause of slack demand. Nearly all
the output of the mills last year has
been sent away, the wharves being
practically clear for the first time in
years.
