Will Take Receipts
For Special Deliver,
Former Practice To Be Resur1-
ed BY the Postoffice
Department

The postoffice department an
nounces that beginning July l, 1928
the taking of receipts for special de
livery matter will be resumed. Thi
practice was discontinued about two
years ago and after a thorough tria
the resumption has been decided up
on in pursuance Of sound bushes:
judgement and in the interest o.
better service.
The plan to be resumed is very
similar to that in force prior to It;
discontinuance. Special delivery
matter will be taken out by the
messenger as soon as proper records
can be made at the Office Of address
A receipt form will be issued to the
messenger who will obtain the sig
nature of the addressee or OF some
responsible person at his address

Should it be impossible to effect de-
livery upon the call Of the messen-
ger he will leave a notice at the
place of address and return the spec

for delivery on his next regular trip
unless called for at the post office in
the meantime.
Should 1t be known to the mes
senger that the addressee or mem
bers of his family are temporarily
absent from their home. the mas
senger may place an ordinary speci-
al delivery article in the addressee's
mail receptacle or door slot. leaving
also a notice under the door, on the
reasonable assumption that the ad :.
dressee will shortly return and that
such a course would be preferable
to returning the mail to the post
office. Such action is largely discre-
tionary with the messenger as he is
held responsible for same.
1t Is desired to emphasize the fact
that the special delivery system is de-
signed to expedite and not to safe
guard mail matter. The registry sys.
tenn is provided to insure safety and
all mail containing currency or other
articles Of value should invariably
be registered or insured. Registered
or insured mail may also be sent
special delivery upon the payment OF
the additional fee of ten cents.
II is blieved that this new depar-
ture will meet the approval and re-
ceive the cooperation Of the public.
