Delaney today. Tha state- ment was made following a discussion of an appeal recently sent out by Postmaster General Will H. Hayes in which it was stated thousands of pieces of mail go through the post- offices without proper addresse: Keepis Two Men Busy. Letters ariving in this city address- ed to local people which do not have the street address cause most of the trouble here, it was stated. This part of the work alone keeéps the two men busy nearly all day looking up ad- dresses and finding out what part of the city to send the mail to. Letters addressed as follows: John Doe, New Britain, Connecticut,” do not get de- livered on the average as soon as a letter addressed to '‘John Doe, 147 South Morning Glory avenus,’ be apt to be delivered. The reason for this is simple. Several clerks are employed for the purpose of sorting mail for the different carriers. These ‘carriers work on routes which often include the same streets. For in- stance there are eight different car- riers who serve different parts of Stanley street. There are tight carriers whose routes include parts of Main street. West Main street is served in _parts by four different carriers. These clerks must know just where one carrier’s route starts and where the other one stops. & A Letter a Second. From 50 to 60 letters a minute are handled by these clerks. This means one second per letter. A clerk must know instantly just where ‘the letter belongs as soon as he gets hold of it. He has no time to stop and think. The clerk does riot read names. He wears a rubber over his thumb to Keep from wetting it and for sanitary reasons and this rubber covers the name when he gets hold of the let- ter. He sees the Morning Glory ave- nue but he does not see the name. Delivery Delayed. Therefore when he strikes a letter without a street address he throws it aside until he is finished. The sorted mail is taken by the carrier and “cased up,” acording to his system of delivery and then s taken out. The letters without street addresses are turned over to other clerks who must look them up. Sometimes a let- “ér goes through seven different hands before it strikes the right carrier. By ‘his time several deliveries have been made: If it should happen to strike “he right man first all is well. But there is not always a sure way of ‘¥nowing. One time New Britain 42ad 32 men by the name of John Johnson. Sending a letter without & street address, according to Post- naster Delaney, impHes that two men must know' more ahout the people than 75 per cent of the other 60,000. Married Women’s Names. Another troublesome feature is the nabit some people have of addressing mail to married women by their given names. For instance a letter might be addressed to Mrs. Mary Doe. The costoffice has no way of knowins, un- less the exact street address is given whether this is the wife of Richard Doe, Bill Doe or Mike Doe. Abbreviations Make Trouble. Another trouble is caused by the fellow who abbreviates. Mail for Pennsylvania, Tennessee or Connec- ticut sometimes gets mis-sent because of poorly written abbreviations. The words Pen: Conn. and Tenn. often looks alike in handwriting. Missouri, Mississippi and Massachusetts . often Set mxed as do abbreviations for New York and New Jersey. Colorado and Calfornia often look alike, afthough at the postoffice. it is said that ‘“‘Calif.” is the correct abbreviation for Cali- fornia and not “Cal.” Forget The State. Sometimes correspondents writing to a large town forget to put in the name of the state. This again causes trouble. There are 18 Hartfords in the United States. There is a Mount Car- mel in Comi icut, one in Pennsyl- vania,one in Virginia,one in Kentucky, one in Jerusalem and probably many cthers. There are New Britains all aver the country. Several times a year a letter comes here addressed to a certain man in “New Britain, U. 8. ¥ The letter comes from Awustralia and is meant for 'a retired seaman resid- ing somewhere on'the Pacific coast. Tt has become such a common oc- currence for this letter to come here ‘hat local clerks know where to for- ward it to. Good Penman Poorest Writers. “More trouble is caused the postal department by letters addressed by good penmen than by those addressed by poor writers,”’ - said Postmaster Delaney. The reason for this is sim- ple enough. The poor writer knows he is a poor writer and takes pains to torm his letters. The good penman is 80 confident that he is an expert in penmanship that he flourishes.all over the paper and his writing develops into a mere scrawl Mixed Mail Makes Trouble, ® Mixed mail, as it is called, where a person gets mail at different addresses /3o couses much trouble. John Doe may live on west Green street. He may be manager of a factory on East Indian avenue and he may, as many do, rent a box in the postoffice. He leaves orders something like this: “Send all first class mail without street addressss to my factory, send all magazines and newspapers to my home, deliver letters with my home address on them to my home also, let- ters addressed to the P. O. box and catalogues, advertising matter, etc., leave in the box. These orders must be memorized by the distributors and carrfed out to the letter. If a letter meant for one place, géts to another place, somebody hears about it. An important letter, may be sent to the man’s home, where he does not see it until the close of the day’'s busi- ness. Then the postoffice must be responsible. Business Mall Astray. From 25 to 30 business letters have would Ji AIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, the addresses on the envelopes cor- rected at the local office every day. This in the opinlon of the local pos- tal officials is nothing but inexcusable carelessness. A letteer is apt to come in addressed to Yale and Townes, New Britain, while another letter ad- dressed to Russel and Erwin, New Haven must be delivered to the cor- rect destination. Removal Noticcs Missing. The temper and patience of the weary mail clerk is tried almost to the breaking point by the famjly who moves out of town and leaves no for- warding address. Letters accumulate, carriers take them out and bring them back and finally they either go to the dead letter office or the person’s new home is located. ‘Will Soon Be Impossible. ‘“The time is coming,'’ sald Super- intendent of Mails James Grace, “when New Britain people will realize it will be impossible to deliver mail unless it has the correct address.” FAMILY FEUD 1§ AIRED IN COURT Solomon and Brown, Relatives, : Disagree-Other Court Cases. Witness fees were withheld at the order of Judge B W. Alling when, in the case of Morris Solomon who was charged with assaulting Michael Erown, those testifying attempted to disprove the ataltements of Police- man Nezdropa that there had been a fight last night on Dwight street. A newly placed patch of court plaster on the faice of the complainant was explained as covering an old cut. Two of the state’s witnesses, Michael and Harry Brown, are related to the accused. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed upon Solomon. The attention of the policeman wae attracted to the neighborhood of 750 Dwight street shortly after he had gone on duty. He found a crowd of nearly 200 persons gathered and received reports that Solomon had assaulted Brown. The latter was bleeding from an injury to his jaw. The state’s witnesses, in reply to Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods’ ques- tioning, satd there had been an al- tercation over family and mone: matters but no blows were struck. Charles, Anderson, drunk, was fined $10. Policeman Michael Cos- grove arrested Anderson yesterday on Park street. Today the accused asked to be sent to the Town Farm, evplaining that he was not in good health. An adjournment until Baturday morning was granted in the case of Abraham Meltzer at the request of Lawyer Dawvid L. Nair, who ex- plained that a material witness for the defense is confined to bed. Melt- 2er was arrested last night by Patrol- man John Liebler for “assaulting Michael Karalaza, a 18 _year old boy, and an additional .charge of resis- tance was preferred by the policeman.
