should be greatly increased, detailed
report Of the amount and weight OF
mail handled by each of the carriers

show the number Of letters and pack
ages and the weight of the mail car

rier leaves the postoffice TO follow his
route. However. as the mail is dis
tributed, the weight of the pouch
rapidly decreases.
At least seven additional carriers
are needed TO care for the present
