1t seems almost inconceivable. but
il is reported as an official fact. that
:;5O, 900 pieces of instructed mail are
handled at the New York Post Office
daily, which includes the city of New
York only. This means l27.1oo.ooo
pieces of misdirccted mail are handled
in this one office alone every year
Great armies of postal clerks are en-
gagged in facilitating this service. New
York is merely typical of the Situa-
tion in every other city in the land
and ii is all practically attributed to
negligence and carelesSncsS. The
Postmaster at Snow Hill informs us
that many pieces of mail both incom-
ing and outgoing bear incomplete and
carclesS addresses.
