WASHINGTON. D. c.,
Juiy 10 - The tremendous
wartime increase in postal
bassness at numerous cities,
inelnding Key West, is caus-
ing postal authorities some
concern, u was learned to-
day.
While officials welcome
gains IN business. they won
der Il the wartime peaks can
be maintained after the war.
Operations at the Key
West Post Office are now
based ON gross receipts of
@163. 43s, the business zone
I'm 1914. In 1910 operations
wsere based on ninety percent
at gross receipts which to-
tailed $s0,s04 during the
year.
This tremendous increase
ln business entities the Key

personnel aud facilities. II is
pointed out, however, that
facilities In many cities are
lsninR operated with staffs
net as large. comparatively
speaking, as before the war,
and that these workers are
0n the Job longer hours. In
such eases. decreases i'm husi-
ness would have little effect.
No one expects the war
time business To retrogress to
levels of 1910. but there is
doubt that i94i-45-46 peaks
can be maintained. Some of
the increase is due, of course,
ca increases in population.
Most of Il is due To civilian
military mail, which may be
offset, in part, by further
population increases and an
increase In postwar business
