We have been requested by Post master Fant to call the attention of natrons of the Walhalla post olilce to the following, which is taken from 'Postal Laws and Regulations, and to urge upon the public the careful observance of this law: Article 27-Short-Paid Matter of tho First Class. Tile law, embodied in Section 4 0 5, Postal Laws and Regulations, pro vides for tho dispatch to their des tination of letters and other first-' class matter upon which two con's postage bas been prepaid, lint which aro not fully prepaid, charged with tile deficient postage, such deiiclency to be collected on delivery. The pur pose of this provision is lo permit the prompt dispatch and delivery of short-paid matter deposited through inadvertence or unavoidable cause. The law does not contemplate, nor is it expected, that persons will in dulge in the practice of intention ally depositing first-class matter which is not fully prepaid From complaints received by the department lt appears that this pro vision is being abused, some persons intentionally depositing short-paid matter of the first class with the pur pose of avoiding the full prepayment of postage and having tho addressee pay the deficiency, thereby subject ing the nddressee to annoyance and expense and imposing upon the pos tal service additional labor and ex pense. Therefore, when it comes to the attention of a postmaster that a patron frequently deposits short paid first class matter, the patron should be informed of the foregoing and objectionable features and dis advantages of the practice, not only from the standpoint of the postal v?eJ?Xici?*- Ji?.1. f 10111 ' th.abi.ittrihe son.4$k .and addressed as well, should be carefully explained to him. lt ls Be lieved that such action will correct the abuses complained of and -con line'1 the operation of the law to the cases which lt is obviously designed to cover. Postmasters should bring to the attention of the Third Assist ai . Postmaster General, division of classification, any cases of persons or concerns who continue the prac tice above referred to after the mat ter has been brought to their atten tion.
