POSTAL SURVEY
BEING PLANNED
FOR TERRITORY
To Obtain Information for
Proposed Parcel Post Zone J
System for Alaska. j
In response to Senate Joint M-3-j
in vrlal N'o. 1 nf the last legislature, j
he Post Office Department is to!
make a study of Alaskan conditions
with a view of determining the prac-'
Inability .of establishing a parcel post
cone system. This is according to a!
: -acr just received by iSecretury Karl:
rheile from H. Lovejoy, Acting Third!
Assistant Postmaster Genera!.
The memorial was transmitted to
Postmaster General Harry S. New ira
nedia.tely after the legislative session
snded. Mr. New promptly acknow
edged its recelp: and turned It over
x> Mr. Dovejoy. It is the first one
>r the memoirials addressed to execu
;ive departments at Washington to
which there has been any response.
Mr Uivejoy in acknowledging re
ceipt of the memorial, in his c, .n
imiuication .to .Secretary Theile, s.iid:i
"You are informed that the matter|
will be looked into and given earn
’ill and sympathetic consideration.
"Hefore making any change in the
•ates, however, it is necessary thatj
iome information in respect to the
velghts, number of pieces, etc., be
ditained, in order to ascertain th
iosI* of carrying and handling the
•arlous classes of snail, such •int>r
nation being essential (o any ei'iita
ile adjustment cif postage tat s, an !
i.rrangoments are already under way
or making a survey of til's ch '.rac
er.
"While between certain places in
Uaska the cost of handling and trans
jQrting parcel post mail may be on
1 normal basis, this Is not the case
with respew-t to many of the places in
hat Territory, the cost in those pi
ttances being greatly in excess of
he revenue derived from the mail,
ind it Is deemed iproper, therefore,
o Invite attention to the provisions
>f the parcel post law which stipu
ates that the postage charges shall
>e based on tihe cost at the service,
■enderod.
“It may be added that in flirther
mce of tlUs intent of .the law it has
seen found necessary to fix a spe
■ial and higher rate on parcels ad
dressed to the first and second zones
in the United States proper, in cases
where ,lt is necessary to transport
matter unusual distances, owing to
tl\e fact that the formation of the
country is to make direct transpor
tation impracticable”
