FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1929 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS NUMBER 220 IV1 1 4 FISCAL YEAR CITYJ46,l06 La Grande Post Office Finishes Busiest Year ' in Local History. ' TOTAL REDUCED BY CUT IN RATES Business Transacted in Post Office Indicates Increase in General . Business Here. Postal receipts fur the fiscal year juBt ended reached the total of 84 0,1 OR. 72 In La Grande, slightly lower than last year, according to announcement today by R. U. Huron, postmjaster. The postal re ceipt figures for the three fiscal years follow: Fiscal Year 1!:i7 1328 Rece'ps .443,7C0.0 .. 4C, 434.77 .. 40,105.72 Unless one noes deeper into the' figures, one would he Inclined to believe that Uncle Sam's post office business Is falling off slightly here, hut that is far from being the truth. Ah a matter of cold truth, the post office business here during the last 12 months was the greatest In lo cal history. Cut In Halts Responsible The receipts In the fiscal year of 1 Si 119 cannot be compared with the two previous years without taking one thing into consideration that Ihe postal rates In l.a Urande dur ing the last 12 months were lower than In either of the two preceding years. The postal rates In several cases were reduced by act of congress at the start of the , present fiscal your! In a few cases the reduc tion was as much as '50 per cent and In other cases the cut was negligible. On the whole, how ever, it is roughly figured that-the. reduccd postal rules decrensed the receipts In La Grande approximate ly six per cent. In other words, If the fiscal year of lllli!) had seen postal rates at the same level as In i;i27 and 1928, the total receipts here would have approximated $50,000. I'fMiil Foii-r Busier Postmaster- Huron slates that liis force, which is the same size as during 11)28 with the exception of a part time delivery man on a new delivery route on the outskirts of the city, has been much busier this year than last. The fact that, in spite of the ap proximate six per cent reduction In postal rules, the Lu Grande re ceipts va rled only a few hundred dollars, indicated that local busi ness is growing, as the receipts re flect to a certain extent the gen eral business of the city.
