NO RAISE
In SALARY

That the postmaster's salary has
missed raise by some $500 is shown
by the reports just compiled showing
the business transacted at the LOCAL
postoffice for the year ending March
81, 1914. At that the receipts show
substantial increase over the year
previous, but not sufficient to warrant
a boost in the boss salary. To author
ize the raise, the local receipts were
required to be Ss0,OOO For the year
ending March 81, 1914, the receipts
wes+S $29,1S4SS. Pretty good but not
quite enough. For the year ending
March 81. 1913. the receitps were
S27,I9S.7s.
March of this year showed an in
crease over February Of some 5000.
The reports show as follows: March
this year. $24isos. February this
year, s22ls.so.
