INTERIOR MA IL
SERVICE. MOTT
INCREASED

The fight of the Fairbanks Com.
mercial Club for all of Its mail all Of
the time is going on amerrily, but the
Second Assistant Postmaster General
does not offer much encouragement to
the interior for any such service from
Cordova during the winter months,
He says:
"In answer to your. letter, which the
postmaster general has referred to
me, requesting that unlimited mail
service be provided for Fairbanksaus
throughout each year. you are In
formed, that in view Of the difficult
travel and the consequent high cost
of transportation it. is. deemed i'm
practicable to provide service at this
time for the transportation Of all
mails offered to Fairbanks and other
Interior points during the winter
months.
"On account Of the high cost. OF
winter service, the contracts provide
for the transportation Of specified
weights Of mail on each trip required.
and in dispatching, the mails prefer
ence is given, first, to letters. nj their
usual and ordinary form and to postal
cards, and, second, to single news
papers and magazines addressed to.
public libraries, newspaper publishers
and to individuals Other classes Of
mail are dispatched when the weight
of the preferred classes OF mail for
dispatch will PRINT.
The evidence of service given last
winter shows that the second class
matter for Fairbanks and the other
Interior points was handled with rea.
sonable promptness, considering the
conditions affecting the service The
service was sufficient to carry second
class matter regularly and in such
amounts that at times during the win.
ter all second class matter offered for
dispatch was carried On February IS,
1915. there was only 2S9 pounds Of
second class matter accumulated at
Cordova, and on February 20 and 81
all second class matter had been dis
patched; also on March 20 all second
class matter had been dispatched.
in view of the conditions referred
to above, it is considered that reason.
able mail facilities are provided and
that the department would not be war
ranted in mourning the cost that
would be involved in providing SER
vice for the transportation of all mail
offered during the winter months"
