MAIL ONCE MORE
ARRIVES ON TIME
Annual Gathering Of Statistical
information For Postoffice
Department.

carriers today made their rounds on

work until the morning mall arrives, and
housewives who do not go forth to mar
ket until "the mail man comes," won
dered why the morning deliveries all
last week were from fifteen to twenty
Ave minutes late.
The cause was the annual gathering OF
statistical Information by the Washing
ton city postoffice in common with post
offices in every city In the country. TO
let the Postoffice Department know
exact facts and figures about each car
rIer's work.
Postmaster Merritt o. Chance today
explained that last week each carrier.
before leaving the office had, to count
the number OF pieces OF mail he carried.
He also had to wait for a clerk to weigh
the bul kof his mail. and, as there are
more than 200 carriers leaving the post
for this work. some delay was caused at
this point Each carrier also had to re-
port the number OF pieces OF registered
mail he carried, and upon his return had
TO report upon the number of pieces Of
mail he failed to deliver, because no.
body was home or because OF change
of address.
This work continued through last week.
and the delay was more marked early
In the week than later. when the carriers
became used to compiling the figures
! wanted Yesterday there also was n
slight delay, on account of an unusually
hssvy S .Ll,gy MSCdsy Sns morning , mall od;. To-day
