Decafur Nail Volume Aided ttj. Record Mail volume In the Decatur area contributed to a new national record of nearly M billion pieces of mail, including a billion pieces of parcel post, during fiscal year 1960 ending June 30, postmaster R. D. Frisinger said. Based on advance information from the annual report to the department, which has been made available to Frisinger, it was revealed that the present day fig- . ur«s represent an increase of 25 per cent over the 1953 volume which totaled 50.9 billion pieces. This increase, along with a sharp discontinuance of mail-carrying trains in recent years, has helped foster a complete revolution in postal transportation including far more extensive use of highway vehicles, he said. In Decatur there h ® s been no change in the number of vehicle, but there has been an increase in the number of hours of use of the one vehicle in use, dug to «n increase In territory covered and an increase in number of parcels delivered. Today, 85 per cept of the vast postal vehicle fleet—operating under a modernization and improvement program initiated in 1954—is composed largely of new types of standard, commercial, lightweight, maneuverable vehicles. This conversion, he noted, has meant the “retirement" of worn out units — many in use for ten years or more—which, in turn, has greatly reduced maintenance costs for the postal service. Described as a vital part of this program which was launched approximately seven years ago under the direction of postmaster general Arthur E. Summerfield, vehicle unit purchases during fiscal year 1960 amounted to more than 8,500 as compared with 115 similar purchases during fiscal year 1953. “The motor vehicle inventory on June 30, 1953, was 18,969," Frisinger said, “and although the 1960 statistics are not yet in final form, it is estimated that more than 34,000 new vehicles have been purchased since fiscal year 1954 and that with the ‘retirement’ of old vehicles the inventory total on June 30 of this year was Just a little under 37,000 vehicles. “Still another development of vital importance in connection with motor vehicle service is the fact that 119 new maintenance facilities have been constructed since January, 1953, to service this fleet. Ten more were under construction on June 30 and 25 more are now in the planning stage. "Other figures in the preliminary i 960 report reveal that the post offices which now have motor vehicle service available total more than 3,600 while the corresponding figure for fiscal year 1953 was 2,433. The total of miles traveled in fiscal year 1960 is estimated at a shade under 400,000,000 as compared with approximately 200,000,000 in fiscal year 1953, "One of the most outstanding features of this motor vehicle improvement program is the mechanization of foot delivery routes which was first mentioned in the annual report for fiscal year 1958 This revealed that the motor vehicle inventory for June 30 of that year showed 1,914 ‘very light vehicles and mailsters' with the notation that this figure included certain vehicles previously reported in the truck category. In the 1959 report this item had climbed to a little over 5,000 and the preliminary estimate from the 1960 table shows 5,816. “Advance reports clearly iwdicate that this part of the mechanization program will be handled at a much faster rate in fiscal 1961. Commitments already have been made for extensive installations of two-cylinder mailsters and fourcylinder right-hand drive trucks which have undergone exhaustive tests and have been found to bf

highly satisfactory. On the basis s os experience with more than 5,100 mailsters already in operation, it has been estimated that each one saves the taxpayers a net of S3OO a year."' Here in Decatur the total number of motor vehicle units regularly in operation is one, the same as in 1953. Postmaster Frisinger also pointed out that there have been literally scores of organizational and operational changes during this seven-year improvement program and that each one of them is directed toward the moye efficient and more economical operation of the post office department. Some of the more significant of these are: Decentralization of postal operating management out of the post office department in Washington, D.C., by setting up 15 regional headquarters offices; adoption of modern business accounting and financial procedures; utilization of the latest types of electronic machines; elimination of handprepared checks, payroll and others, at each post office by making payments from regional offices with estimated net savings of $20,000,000 a year; introduction of new concepts of personnel management for the benefit and welfare of more than half a million postal employes, including training programs for promotions and safety programs to reduce on-the-job accidents.
