under tho new system,
tho postofflce clerk handled
&O.0G) parcels.
Tho report Is mudo upon the request of
tho l'ostofflco department In order that
an estimate of how tho system Is work
ins could be ascertained.
Parcels which were mailed In Omaha
and delivered locally or to addresses in
Omaha amounted to 1,3,2 pieces. Tlio
amount of postago used for theso pieces
was S6S.ZP. The average weight for these
1,37a pieces was twelvo ounces. There
wete 18,t;? Incoming parcels, which were
delivered In Omaha, making a total of
I4.S4S parcels delivered to residents of
Omaha.
Omaha people mailed 51,412 parcels
which weie sent out of tho city. Tho
ono pound and two ounces. The postago
uscu on tncfco parcels amoiimru 10
j Tho total number of parcels ro-
jielved at the OmaJia postofflec, both In
coming and outgoing, reached tho grand
total of 4C.2&8. Of this number SOS dis
patched parcels were Insured nnd C0r par
cels dcllvcicd wero Insured.
This enormous amount ot business ban-
I died In Omaha alone shows that the mcr-
I I hunts of this city have discarded the
express companies to a largo extent for
the government service. Of the first fif
teen days thero were two Sundays and
one holldiry. which rightfully shows that
this amount of business was handled In
twelve working days.
Although the business has been rushing,
the railway mail clerks, according to As
sistant Superintendent Johnston, havo not
found the task burdensome. Mr. Johnston
Fays he hns received but twelve com
plaints during the first fifteen duys,
which he considers wonderful, when the
parcels post was something practically
unknown to the mall clerks, and no sys
tem had been arranged for tho handling
of the parcels by tho clerks. Tic said bis
department could handle twice as many
packages as they have during the first
lifteen days and still not feel tho burden
very much.
