Mall Letters Late r .'yl? I'"""' condltlonsAsald Mr. Lister, "more than 00 per cent of the business Institution nml business men do not post their mall until late In the day. The result is tons of mall are dumped into letter boxes and tho post office between the hour of 4 nnd 7 o'clock. Between those hours the car ricm nrc overworked, trucks are over loaded, clerks In the postoflico ore rushed nnd consequently tho mail is tlclnved. It Is frequently necessary for cnrrlers nnd trucks to make n second round of their dlstilcls becauso they nrc tumble to handle the bulk of mail on their fiYst round. VThe burden could easily be distrib uted. If mail were posted every hour or to fn'tho morning and afternoon the burden of collecting w otild be distrib uted, All the mn.lt would be In the fllce sorted nnd dispatched upon It way by the time the business hour of the tiny lind cxplrcdf" Mr( Lister expressed the opinion ,thnt it would neither be necessary to Increase Ihc force of carriers nor (he hours of collections nnd distribution should Mr, Hays' plan become effective. The same ninchlncry which is functioning now would function under the new order, but its Inbois would be more equitably distributed. X. II. Kelly, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, not only indorsed Mr. Ilnys' plan, but snid the Chamber of Commerce would co-opcrnto with the postal ofuVJnls in making it effective.'
