Halt Growth in Post
office Business.

Mail handled In the first fifteen days
of November by the Washington post
office was 81 per cent greater than
that handled during the same period
last year. despite the increased pos
tai rates.
A general increase in volume Of
mail has been noted by the POST
office Department and officials esti-
mated that this increase, with the ad-
ditionAl cost Of mall under the new
revenue law, will add more than
$4,000, 900 to the Departments income.
The mail handled throughout the
country shows an estimated increase
of between and z per cent.
Increase Ii Steady.
Mail handled by the local postofice
has increased steadily and extraordi-
nary demands are expected to be
made upon the department when the
Christmas rush begins. Every effort
will be made to expedite Christmas
mailing as much as possible.
An increase of 10 per cent In the
number of letters cancelled at the
local office was recorded this year in
October as compared with the same
month last year.
In the past calendar month 14,1s7,-
S64 letters were cancelled, as COM
pared with 10,195, III In Cttober, 1916.
Sacks, containing newspapers, maga-
zines and other publications to the
number OF 216,340, passed through the
office during the month, as compared
with 1l,l00 in the same month last
year.
These figures show only the mail
that was sent out by the local post
office. Incoming mail handled also
shows large increases. There were
l2,521 pouches, containing letters and
letter mail, received and distributed
during October. 1916. and 15.45O last
October, an increase Of nearly 5000
pouches.
In BuIkier Glasses.
October, this year. saw 3,S2l sacks
Of mail other than letters received,
while the same month last year
brought only q, 7,464 sacks.
Parcels too large to be placed in
sacks, totalled 72,043 during the last
month, while in 1916 they numbered
A.0i5. an increase of 80 per cent.
Nearly $4,000 was received at the
office during last October for stamps.
Exactly $223, ,070.S1 worth were sold.
This Is an increase of 2420 per cent
over the same month last year.
These figures were quoted by on
cials as showing the great task the
ONCE is facing when the Christmas
rush begins and as giving added force
to their efforts to induce Washing
tonians to mail every letter and pack
age as much before Christmas as
possible
