Show Work of Salt Lake Postoffice H The year 1908 has heen a record breaker at the Salt Lake postoffice. Tb.6 volume of business has Increased so rapidly that It was necessary to add seven clerks and four carriers. At tho present time there are seventy-five, clerks on the rolls of the local office and sixty-eight carriers. The growth of business at this office hns been extraordinary, and It Is believed that when the entire receipts for the year have been figured up it will bo found that the office has made a gain of something like 20 per cent. This cannot bo i definitely suited at the present time, but Postmaster Thomas states as his opinion that the Increase will not fall short of the mark noted. During the past year one new substation has been established. This Is known as No. IS, tind Is located at the University of Utah. Besides this, the free delivery svstem has been extended to Eleventh avenue In the Fourth precinct, to Federal liclghts. and In the southern and southwestern portions of the city. These ex- jH tensions made the addition of more carriers necessary. jH The Salt Lake postoffice today ranks forty-sixth among the postoffice? of th nation.
