Numerous Defects Found

Washington, March PLANS by
which millions of dollars will be saved
every year by the government in the
handling Of parcel post and a better
service afforded to the people OF the
country are being worked out by Col.
Paul Henderson. second assistant
postmaster general.
Defects in the present administra-
tion of the parcel post service. due TO
the tremendous increase of this
branch of the postal service, so i'm.
pressed Colonel Henderson upon his
assumption of his office that, after a
careful investigation. he made a spe-
cial report to President Harding on
the subject.
System Extravagant.
The present system was found by
Colonel Henderson to be extrayagant
Of clerical force in postoffices. of mo-
tor vehicle service in large cities and
of expensive space in postofflces. 1t
is also the cause Of inevitable losses
to the government>of several million
dollars annually in damages to pack.

cause to the delay of important pas

Having found out what was wrong,
Colonel Henderson appointed COM

One decision already reached is TO
replace with steel hampers the mail
bags now employed for handling par.
eel post packages. This change will
do away at once with an annual loss
of millions paid on damaged packages.
and will also affect an economy on
space and make easier as well as
safer, the handling of the packages.
Need Special Buildings.
The next necessity. according to
Colonel Henderson. is TO have special
buildings near the railroad stations
for the handling of parcel post pack
ages, thus relieving the main post
offices OF congestion and effecting a
tremendous saving In the number of
motor vehicles required for transpor-
tation and very considerable reduc-
tion in the clerical force required.
The possibilities in this connection
are now the subject OF conferences
which are expected TO lead to definite
action within the next few months.
more difficult matter. but one
along which satisfactory progress has
been made, is the working out OF a
