HISTORY OF INAUGURATION
Sponsor Of Bill Providing for Special
Delivery of Mail Tells of Hard
Time He Had Getting
1t Through.

New YOrk.-How the much-used spe-
cial delivery stamp was passed upon
by congress after a bitter fight almost
thirty-five years ago after a bill provid-
Ing for its use was introduced by DR..
Charles r. Skinner, now legislative
librarian and formerly state superin-
tendent of instruction. was recently re-
le'ed by the former congressman. Tie
number of these stamps has increased
from S96,344 during the first fiscal year
OF nine months to 5S.544,3S7 In 1919.
Between 1885, the year of the adop-
ton Of the stamp bill, and last year.
Doctor Skinner says, 450,072, 072 pieces
OF mail bearing the ten-cent stamp
were delivered.
I'm his report Of 1888 as first assist
ant postmaster general Frank Hatton
alluded TO the success of many COM
panies organized TO deliver letters by
messenger, and suggested that the gov
errment might with propriety- adopt
plans for the speedy delivery of let
tiers, using the mails and clerical force
to accomplish the results sought"
writes Doctor Skinner in a recent issue
OF State Service, a magazine devoted
to the government of New York state
and its affairs. ''Mr Hatton's sugges-
ton quickly came TO my notice as a
representative In congress, and was
the subject Of many conferences be-
tween myself and my friend, Edward
NJ. Gates. then postmaster, at my home
In WATERFOWL. The plan seemed to be
feasible and was favorably considered.
As a result Of frequent conferences a
bill providing for a special delivery
stamp, embOdying the features prac-
tically as they stand today. was pre-
pared by me for introduction at the first
session of the Forty-eighth congress in
December. 1888.
