APPRAISERS FIX
PARK LOT PRICES
Cost of Sites Vary AS to Lo-
cation Near Newly
Made Lake.

Building lots in Morton park will
range in valuation all the way from
$50 to $500, according to the apprais-
srs who went over part of the build
ing sites yesterday. The committee
appointed to place valuations of the
lots inspected those on the south side
Of the lake from the dam almost to
the extreme eastern portion Of the
sark.
This afternoon they completed the
Inspection of lots on the south side
tf the lake and those on the north
side next to the road. When the ap-
1raisement has been completed the
Valuation will be totaled and if the
mount is not sufficiently large to
lay the cost of the land and the con-
itruction of the dam. the valuation
nil be increased accordingly.
1t will be necessary that the lots
sell for an average of close to 5000 to
permit the park company to come out
even on the project.
Consider Advantages.
The members of the committee on
appraisement have at all times been
close together on lot variations. Lo-
cation, shade, convenience to the
water edge, natural dockagc for boats
and many other things are being taken
into consideration in fixing the prices
of ten lots.
The next step in the development
of the park will be the construction
of the Haas road, which passes almost
entirely around the park This road,
when completed, will make it posi-
BILE for people to reach the park over
many of the blind north and south
streets in the east part of the city
which now lead nowhere
The contract for the construction of
the road will be let by the county
commissioners on November Is. 1t is
thought that the street car line viii be
be extended at the same time the road
is built
No steps have been taken for the
completion of the bridge at the dam,
but the fill probably will be made and
q street opened by the time the Haas
road is completed.
An inspection of the concrete roads
of Connersville is being made by the
county commissioners in anticipation
of the Haas road and Barton road, for
which contracts for construction will
be let this month. Both roads will
be concrete out of the city and of
brick within the limits.
The Haas and Barton roads will be
the most expensive at the initial cost
of any roads which have been built
in the county for several years. Both
start at J street near the river, one
crossing onto the New Paris pike and
the other continuing east to Nine
teenth street where it joins the Haw-
kins road.
The commissioners will return Sat
urday and by that time will have dis
cussed the plans under which the Fay
cite county commissioners let CON
tracts for the construction Of the con-
crete roads there. The plans and
specifications for the construction of
the Haas and Barton roads are open
to contractors who wish TO bid for
the contract.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
Of the sender. A series of distinctive

by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
ell postofices in ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day.
The postoffice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject of the parcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all

stamps attached shall be treated as

which the zones are drawn. The
rates Of postage are fixed from the
unit in which the sending postoifice is
situated, but the price to every place
in any zcae is just the same. To il
lustrate, it will cost exactly the same
amount to send a parcel from Wash
ington to Erie, Pa, that it costs to
send it to Atlanta, Ca, because Erie
and Atlanta with reference to Wash
ington are situated in the fourth
zcne. The rates therefore are fixed
from the unit in which the postoffice
is located, but they are the same
from that Office to any point in any
enc zone.

table of rates Of postage that it will

more than IL pounds can be sent I'M
der the new parcel post law. 1t
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
it can so compete. 1t was the ex-
pressed desire of the legislators and
of the postoffice officials that the par
Gel post system should be made of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t is probable that pro-
ducers must study the rates. of post
age and the convenience of trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually man can
determine whether he is to profit or
not by the change. Then there is an
other thing to be considered and
which only can be known definitely
when fuller regulations have been
made to specify exactly what kind of
things can be sent by parcel post. 1t
can be said in general way that any,
thing can be sent which is properly
wrapped and which will not inJure

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK,

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
for such a system of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
of favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
of congress a bill was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only 1t must be said in little more
than an experimental way.
1t is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar it will be, how much it will cost
the government. and whether there is
to be profit or loss at the end Of
each year. II 1t is found that the
plan is successful from the point of
view of the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe it is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands of inquir-
les have been made of the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t was
1.-THE law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for
division of the country into zones
nd into $4,000 units which are to be
sed as centers in describing the cir
les which mark the boundaries OF
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding, apparently, of this
zone system, but really 1t is a very
simple matter.
The ACCOMPANYING map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington is sit
uated, as the center Accompanying
the map is a table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square. Now each unit is
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit in the coun-
try no matter where II is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
II. For instance, take Keokuk Ia,
which is in a unit in the fifth zone.
From that will he drawn circlas ax-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
ington and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one. OF course, however.
Zone Six will have a different geo.
graphical position as related to Keo-
kuk than it has as related to Wash
ington, but as the radius of the circles
drawn from. Keokuk is the same
length as the radius of the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
Zone Six will be just as far from it's
center as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
II can be seen from this readily
enough that the, postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will !
be the same. as the postal rates from
Keokuk to its particular zones. Each !
unit being about thirty miles square
will Of course contain in most cases a
number Of postofices, but each Office
In the same unit is considered as be-
ing the center Of the circles from
