Classification Articles Must be Pre pared and Stomp Printed for tlte Service. Woshington, Aug. 29.?Announce ment was made by P' <?tmaster Gener al Hitchcock tonight that the post office department would be In readi ness on January 1, 1913, to put Into general opedation the recently author ized parcels post system. The postal express business, which must be organized within the next four months, will extend over more than 1,000,000 miles of rural delivery and star routes, and will cover In Its various ramifications all systems of transportation of parcels now utilized by private express companies. , Mr. Hitchcock has cancelled en gagements he Lad made for his vaca tion and will remain in Washington to personally direct the organization work. The details of the parcels post system will be worked out by a series of committees composed of officers and exjerts of the department. The general executive committee appoint ed today consists of Chief Inspector Robert S. Sharp, Superintendent John C. Koons of the division of salaries and allowances, Chief Clerk A. A. Fisher of the second assistant post master general's bureau and Superin tendent George I... Wood of the di vision of rural mails. "First of all," said Mr. Hitchcock tonight, "must bo prepared a classifi cation of the articles that can be ac cepted for transportation by parcels post. The law admits to the mails practically all kinds of merchandise, including products of the farm, gar den nnd factory, provided such ar ticles do not weigh more than 11 pounds nor exceed 72 Inches In com bined length and girth. The mode of packing will be prescribed carefully. It is iikely we shall employ extensive ly hampers, similar to those used in foreign countries in handling parcels post mall. The law provides that postage on all parcels shall be pre paid by affixing distinctive stamps. This will necessitate the designing and printing of at least a dozen denomi nations of special stamps. "The law provides indemnification for lost or damaged articles, and this question is one for careful regula tion. "The system of distance zones re suires the employment by postmas ters of a distinctive postal map on which the zones are represented. A directory of all otfices is being com plied for use in applying the pre scribed rates of postage to the dis tance shown on the zone maps. "The questslon of adequate trans portation and terminal facilties for the parcels post mail on railway nnd steamship lines and In the city wagon service will have to be worked out to prevent a possible congestion of the ordinary mail." The last question referred to by Mr. Hitchcock involves one of the most serious problems now confront ing the postal officials as result of the taking over of so large a volume of additional mail. Any article is mailnble If not over 11 pounds In weight nor more than 72 Inches In length and girth com bined, nor likely to injure the mails or postal equipment or employes. Flat rate of 1 cent per ounce up to four ounces regarless of distance. Above four ounce, rates are by the pound or fraction therefore, and vary ing with the distance as follows: Rural route and city delivery? First pound, 6 cents, each additional pound 1 cent; 11 pounds 16 cents. Fifty-mile zone?First pound 5 cents, each additional pound 3 cents; 11 pounds 35 cents. 160-mile zone?First pound 6 cents, each additional pound 4 cents; 11 pounds 46 cents. 300-mile zone- First pound 7 cents, each additional pound 5 cents, 11 pounds, 67 cents. 600-mlle zone?First pound 8 cents, each additional pound C cents; 11 pounds 68 cents. 1,000-mile zone?First pound 9 cents, each additional pound 7 cents; 11 pounds 79 cents. 1.800-mtle zone?First pound 11 cents, each addition! pound 10 cents; 11 pounds $1.11. Over 1,800 miles?First pound 12 vents; each additional pound 12 cents; 11 pounds $1.3.. The postmaster general may mane provision for ldernnity, insurance, and collection on delivery, with addi tional charges for such service and may, with the consent of the Inter state commence commission after in vestigation, rnodlffy rates, weights and zone distance, when experence has demonstrated the need therefor.
