POSTMASTER HERzOG
RECEIVES INCREASE
Salary Will be Raised to $1,000
Gross Receipts $4,000
More Than Previous Year.

An increase Of nearly $4,000 i'm the
postage stamp receipts of the NIisha-
waka postoftice during the fiscal year
closing March 81, 1915. will give
Postmaster John A. Herzog an in
crease Of 800 year in his salary,
which will he for this year $4,000.
This announcement was received
with much appreciation bv Mr.. Her
zOg Wednesday morning. Several
other postmasters in this community
also received notifications of salary
increases due 20 a growth in gFoss
receipts OF the past four quarters.
The total gross receipts of the local
office for the year closing March 81.
1914, was in the neighborhOod of $52.-
600. while for this year the postage
sales went to above $4,000.
Postmaster HerZog stated Wednes-
day morning that the big increase in
business was due TO the better train
facilities secured during the past year
and the increased efficiency of the
postal employees here. Mr. HerzOg
has been working hard 10 bring the
business in Mishawaka 10 high
standard in the classification OF first
class offices and feels that he has
been successful. He predicts a larger
business for this year though he
would give no estimate figures.
The expected increase of business
for the new year is anticipated in tho
view Of better facilities permitted by
the new federal quarters completed
several weeks ago. The business of
last year was mostly done in the
crowded quarters of the old office
which the department had occupied
for many years. A better service IS
also given at the new office for box
holders, the office being open 20 hours
each day. The Improvements in rout-
ing city deliveries as we'll as rural,
and the increase in city mileage is also
partially responsible for the big in
crease.
The increase in receipts is consid-
cred enormous in view of the fact that
the $4,000 additional business was
entirely postage sales of from one
cent to ten. Interesting figures based
on the law of averages is shown IN
this regard. taking that each piece OF
mail required a two-cent stamp, the
increased sales meant an increase or
300. 600 pieces of mail matter over the
previous year. Based on these hg-
ures about 100000 pieces of mail
matter are handled through the local
office in the outgoing mails each year
