Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 133, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 June 1913 — Will Weigh All Mail During Month of June. [ARTICLE]

Will Weigh All Mail During Month of June.

Starting Monday all of the mail will be weighed for the next four weeks by the clerks in the post office and on the railroads, and every piece of matter that is handled in and out by the rural route carriers must be counted and weighed and an accurate account of the information given. All the carriers here have supplied themselves with small scales and began the work. It will keep them busy during the month of June, in addition to the rest of their duties, and they are supposed to keep running on schedule time.
