 Compared with the above figures the receipts for the year ending March 31, 1901, just 15 years ago, show in a striking manner the growth of Con- way during that period The total for that year was $3,443.54, being by quarters as follows June 30, 1900, $1,050.49; September 30, 1900, S851S6; December 31, 1900, $921. 1.59 !; March 31, 1901, S719.60. The receipts for the year just closed are almost exactly four times as great as they were 15 years ago. At that time the postoffice was one of the third class, instead of the second class as it is now; it employed only one or two clerks and assistants, had no rural service or free city delivery and no parcel post or postal savings depart ment.
