Stamp And Money Order
Sales Increase, Also
Savings Deposits
BUILDING PERMITS
T0TALED $36,975

An increase in the general
business at the local post office
for the year 1882 was reported
this morning by Postmaster r.
H. Station.
Mr.. Station reported that there
had been an increase in the re-
ceptS from stamp sales, a large
increase in the volume of money
order sales, and an increase in
the amount of money on deposit
in postal savings.
Stamp sales for the year 1892
increased by $l,230.2S over sales
for the preceding year. This,
Mr.. Station said, is contrary to
most Of the post offices in the
country, where there has been a
decrease in spite of the increase
in postage rates.
Many people during the year
used cards instead of letters on
account of the increased post
age rates, and at Christmas time
practically all people mailing
cards used one and one half
cent stamps instead of three cent
stamps, Mr.. Station said.
Figures on stamp sales for
1882 were $3G,398.24 in con-
trast to $35,l6 for the year
1881.
There has been a large in
crease IN the nufmber Of money
orders sold in the local office
during the past two years, Mr..
Station said. There have been
as many as $50 money orders
sold in one day at the local Of
flee, Mr.. Station said.
Postal savings have also shown
a large increase in the past two
years. On January l of this
year some 500 deposits had on
deposit S1S0,224 while on JAN
uary l OF last year there was
$1lO,l42 on deposit, an increase
of S70,0S2.
