Fifty clerks in the local post office have been indefinitely furloughed as the result of recommendations made within the last two weeks by United States postal inspectors, it was learned today. The inspectors, finding a siack in the summer business here.} recommended the cut in the interest| of economy, and as they are still at work checking up everything in the local postal service, it has not been| determined whether they will further diminish the local force. { ‘The detailed survey to which the| post office is now being subjected is| one of many held at various times throughout the year, and was not or- dered because of suspicion on the part of authorities that irregularities ex- isted in the local office, as has been intimated. in ever so ften a the post offices o the United States and look over the force,” It was said at the post office toda: Ic is understood that those em- ployes furloughed were taken from the bottom of the Senfority list and that the question of efficiency no way involved. Many of thos: are now out of positions were taken on the pay roil of the local post office not so long ago. from the navy vard and other government establishments that have depleted their forces. As e newi for more employes arises, it was dclared, the post office wili call in those who are now on furlough and they will be hetd first on the walting list.

Parcel post is the reason for this change. it was stated, as the bulky packages do not easily £o through the narrow slots at the! bottom of the iron-barred windows. | Designs for new post offices recom mended by the committee on post of fice buildings call for long collapai-| ble windows and a counter for the parcel post section. Scales sunk in the counter speed up the weighing of paekages, it has been found. "Phe grill is also to be removed from most of the other service windows In the lobbles of the newest post offices. 1t is still kept, however, at the win- dows where considerable money transactions are carried on for the purpose of safety. i JURY IGNORES | CHARGE.
