n QUARTER WASRECORD
REAKER AT POSTOFFICE

ter of 1915 held the record for postal
receipts at the Butte office.
Postal receipts include not only
money received from the sale Of
stamps and stamped paper. but the
revenue from box rents as well.
The increase, however. will mean
nothing so far as securing additional
help for the Butte postoffice or in
creased salaries is concerned. While
they give hint of the added burden to
employees incident to an increased vol
ume of outgoing mail and also a cor
responding increase of incoming mat
ter, they do not form the basis for ap-
portionment Of employees or payment
Of salaries, except in the case Of the
postmaster, and he cannot beneht by
the increased receipts until they reach
more than $4,000 quarter in which
event he will then receive but sloo
more per year
This increase in postal receipts
however, is viewed in the financial and
business world as an unfailing barom-
eter Of business conditions.
