Rates Of Insurance.
Under the parcel post provisioas any
package Weighing up to eleven pounds
which II not composed Of prohibited
goods and Ii fourth class matter may
be insured and sent to any place in the
country. Originally there was q uni.
form ten cent fee charged for insur-
ance and carried a fifty dollar indem.
nifty. Later. however. 1t was conclud.
ed to establish both Ave and ten cent
fees. The former gives insurance up
to S25, and the latter, n originally.
covers up to $50.
This IL guarantee only for absolute
loss No payment is made where the
package Is simply damaged. Tho

pouches. and every clerk who handles
them must sign q voucher. whereas an

with the ordinary mail and receives no
attention except at the Once Of dis
patch and receipt.
While that Is all that the law ~
quires for the handling Of insured
packages. the postal authorities en-
tleavor to prevent loss and have urged
the senders Of such packages. II the
article be fragile. to SO mark It. II,
then. there are number Of such

some Of the postal officials maintain.
does so not to protect himself 90 much
against monetary loss. but more With
a desire to insure that his package
will reach its destination. Consequent
", these oflicials say. greater degree
Of satisfaction would be given the gen.
eral public II all the insured fourth
class matter were again placed under
the registry division.
To do so. they say. would necessarily
entail more work upon that division
and incur greater expense. The
losses. however. they maintain. would
be less. and some OF the advocates Of
this policy go so far as to say that the
reduction in indemnity payments
would practically pay for the addition.
al clerks who would have to be taken
on in the registry service.
Mr. Dockery. when asked II he or the
postmaster general had contemplated
making such a change. replied that
neither had and added that II was I'm
possible until time had afforded more
experience with the parcel post TO say
whether such move would bs advan-
tageous.

"A LTHOUGH the postal authorities
A still declare their inability to
4 y ASCERTAIN IN what. manner the
insurance feature Of the parcel
post Law, is going to work out from u
monetary. point OF view. II has been
learned; that payments Of indemnity
for lost and destroyed fourth class
matter covered BY postal insurance
will constitute rather significant dg-
urssaAnually.
When the parcel post was inaugural
cd $4,000 was set aside for the pay
msnt of Insurance losses. At the end
Of the six months ended June 80 last
approximately $4,000 had been ex-
pended In payment Of claims OF this
nature. AL the claims. however, for
the elapsed six months had not been
presented. and Third Assistant Post
master General .Dockery. who exc.
cutes this phase Of the law. and his
assistants have estimated that the en-
tire $4,000 will have been exhausted
when all. charges against this fund
have been passed upon and paid.
Loss Estimated at $65, 900.
Consequently. in making the esti-
mates for the year 1914 Mr.. Dockery
has asked for $65. 900. Fifty thousand
dollars probably would have been suf-
ficient to cover the losses for the year
had the system been conducted as 1t
was during the six months on which
the estimates were based.
But beginning July last a "collect
Oh delivery" feature was inaugurated.
Under 1t merchants may send through
out the country goods Of the nature
permitted in the parcel post and pay
ment will be made for these goods by
the addressee at the office Of delivery.
Ali these goods must be insured. and
it is thought that indemnity losses will
be increased to an extent. The add
tional $4,000 was asked to meet this
increase.
Mr.. Dockery. however, frankly i'd
lnits that his estimates. particularly
as fur as the &C. o. D." losses are con-
cerned, are purely conjectufal. He
made such statement to the congress
sional appropriation committee. Up
to the present time. he said. there are
no definite figures on which estimates
may be based and added that the loss
es for the year may be much more or
much less than the sum for which he
has asked.
Matter Formerly Registered.
Before the passage Of the parcel post
law and the Inauguration Of that sys-
tenn any package. whether 1t COM
prised first. second or third class mail
matter. could be registered. With the
establishment of the parcel post. how
ever. and the provision for the insur-
ance Of fourth class matter. former
Postmaster General Hitchcock ruled
all fourth class matter out Of the regis
try division and directed that 1t must
be sent. II protection was desired by
the sender. under the parcel post In
surance system.
This necessarily took out of the reg.
istered mail large number Of pack
ages. The total indemnity paid BY
the postal service for registered mail
Of all classes during the year ended
June 80. 1912. was $19.732,35. This
