POST OFFICE HAS | HAD FINE YEAR Postmaster Delaney’s Administra- | tion Crowned With Glory The first 365 days of duty as post- master in the local office of Uncle | Sam, by William F. Delaney, leaves no doubts of the wisdom of the selec- | tion to that important post, hy the | late congressman from this distric n,i‘ the vast improvements in the service | the rapid gains in receipts and postal ! savings, coupled with the excellont | service rendered by the capable corps of subordinates employed in the office, establishing that fact. Started Right Early. A resume of the year’s work Postmaster Delaney will be seen the report covering that period of time. Shortly after his inauguration as custodian of the building, FPost- master Delaney announced that bus- at the general delivery window, which had become a nuisance, due to the hundreds of calls made by billing and cooing couples who made it a practice of conducting their love af- fairs unknown .to their parents through this medium, would be con- ducted along more stringent lines, thus eliminating eighty per cent. of the calls, The habit of converting the lobby of the building into a trysting | place, was also discontinued due through this strict rule. Employes Kept Busy. Compiled figures show that during the year the clerks and carriers have handled the following pieces of out- going mai First class, 6,000,000, second class, twenty-four tons; third class, 300,000 pieces; fourth class, i35().()00 pieces; incoming mails, first | class, 6,000,000 pieces; second class, thirty tons; third class, 200,060 pieces; fourth class, 200,000 pieces. The Finances Gained. Records for receipts every month were established, the grand toALul showing over $160,000 compared \\'.uh about $145,000 during the preceding year. The total gain in receipts amounted to over $16,000. Rene}\‘ed life was evident in the postal savings bank, the total receipts for the year amounting to $84,554, compared with $68,239 in 1915, a gain of $16,315. Changes In Service. During the year three clerks were separated from the service by dismis- “sal. In their places were placed | Carriers McLean, Seitz and Bell. Three | new substitute carriers were named, | James F, Roche, Edward C. Roche | and John F. Schmidt. Two tempor- | ary regular clerks were named, An- thony Cherpack and Fred Michaelis. No Added Benedicts. Two deaths occurred in the serv- | ice, Rural Carrier Charles Barbour | and Peter Hamilla, the latter as cus- todian. Emery Clough was appoint- | ed to fill the vacancy in the rural | service and Robert J. Grace in the | custodian service. | During the year mone of the em- ployes joined the matrimonial league, although at present several are con- sidered doubtful. Free Drinks Now. Benefits to the service have been one of the matters that have occupled the attention of Postmaster Delaney since his advent in office. ‘Extension of the credit allowance to the sub- | stations was one of his first improve- ments which sas been greatly ap- preciated by the sub-station keepers. In the past the employes were forced to ‘“pass the hat” for spring water in the office, but on applica- tion of the postmaster, the officials in ‘Washington granted his request that the “boys drink on the house.” Much valuable time was used up by per- sons calling at the carriers’ window znd in order to eliminate this nuis- ance, an order was received from | Washington, through Postmaster De- | laney, abolishing the custam. Postmaster Delaney has taken con- siderable pride in the appearance of the building and as a result a con- tract has recently been granted for screening the windows and doors with copper screens, which will add Specifications have also been received | calling for repairs to the sidewal and the building of a paved driveway To relieve the congestion at the holi- day season on account of the heavy percel post business, Postmaster D laney recommended the erection of a chute to convey the packages to the cellar where teams could be loaded, a2nd this was granted. A filing | cabinet was installed and method of | filing important matter was adopted. Mail at All Hours, A strenuous campaign is being | conducted by the postmaster for all-night service, with bright majl service.
