tiers and Cards Handled.

Never before in the history of the Brat

inside and outside the Office, and included
in the delivery end of the business were
two teams and two motorcycles in this
village and a team in West Brattleboro.
The number of pouches and sacks dis
patched was 200 as against 1882 last
year for the corresponding period. The
number of pouches and sacks received
was 1000. while last year the figures We're
1,60S. The total number this year, both
incoming and outgoing, was 400 as
against $3.50 last year.
There was also large increase in the
number of letters and postcards handled,
but the figures for last year are not avail
able at this time. No record of the in
coming letters and cards was kept. as
they did not pass through the cancelling
machine, but the outgoing letters and
cards passing through the machine aggre-
gated in round numbers $4,000, while
enough more of odd shapes. and sizes
which did not pass through the machine
were cancelled by hand to bring the total
up to 100000. The number received
would largely exceed the number sent
out. The record of the machine for the
six dayS was as follows:
