D OSTMASTER GENERAL HUBERT
WORK has been freely criticized for
his recent recommendation 10 Congress that
fee OF cent should be charged for each
piece of improperly addressed mail accord
ed directory service. Feeling that he has
been unjustly criticized because OF a lack
OF full understanding on the part OF his
critics OF the burden OF cost this service en-
tails on his depart ment. he has made reply.
giving the facts and figures which prompted
him TO make the recommendation.
He explains mat the handling OF mprop-
crly addressed mail is one of tho most an
noying and expensive problems which the
postal service faces at the present time. and.
despite constant endeavors to impress upon
mailerS the Importance of proper address
ing. the fact remains that the quantity of
this mail which is pouring daily into the
mail rooms over the country Is stupendous
and represents a needless drain upon the
postal establishment.
lie quotes from an article over his sig
nature in the Nations Business for July.

this drain means to the postal service ms a
whole, as follows: The magnitude of the

nual cost Ill salaries was Sl,000.916 The
average number of pieces of mail matter
given directory service daily was 3753S1
and the average cost for each piece OF such
nail was S.OOS7. Using these figures as a
basis II is estimated that the total number
OF letters given this special treatment at
all post-of'iccs during the past fiscal year
reached the stupeadous total of 0OOO.-
600. The cost of handling them was ap-
proximately S1,74O,OO0"
The Postmaster-General further explains
that while, at first thought. il may appear
that the enact ment OF n law to collect a fec

mail would III effect he exacting !; fine

lieved that this is the most effective way 10

to insist. France is doing on Il greater

might he able to raise in the course of the
next thirty or forty years. Some authority
will determine this in time if the French
