COST NOT QUITE
ONE CENT To SEND
SINGLE PARCEL

The average cost to deliver each
of the 1855 packages received in the
parcels post at the South Bend office
during the first half of October was
nine-tenths of a cent. These figures
have been compiled as the result of a
count of all parcels entering and leav-
ing the local office from Oct. l to Is.
The count was made at the request
of the department at Washington and
on the figures obtained throughout
the country the department will base
its Encouragement of zones and post
age charges.
An excess of receipts over EXP endi-
lures at the local office in a ratio of
nearly seven to one is an outstanding
feature of the local report. 1t is be-
lIeved this record will compare IA
vorably with any city in the country.
The postage received on parcels
dispatched was $1461.64. The total
cost in carriers time and increased
clerk hire will not exceed $500 for
the period. The parcels dispatched
weighed over IL tons, 22,299 pounds.
the average weight being one and
one-half pounds. There were 1919
Packages. however. which weighed
less than one pound.
OF the parcels received 5,471 were
delivered by the regular carriers and
the remainder in the following mar
ner: BY auto, 23e; by horse drawn We
hicles, S54; by auxiliary carrier in
business district, S31. The average
T cstage' paid on parcels dispatched
was seven cents
1t is notable that more than half OF
the packages dispatched were sent
distances of 900 to 1000 miles. There
were but 70 local packages. Should
the reports from other cities show the
bulk of the business in the fourth and
fifth zones the postage will probably
be reduced in the reorganization Of the
zone system.
Here are the numbers Of packages
dispatched TO the respective zones:
1850 first zone so miles; 1892 second
zone. $50 miles; 3O9S third zone, 800
miles; 523S fourth zone, 500 miles;
