Declaring that 1927 had been the
most successful year hte Milledge-
ville ofice had enjoyed. Postmaster
Hugh Cline stated that the increase
in postal receipts for 1927 had ex
ceed that of any :-imilar period of
months since the ofice had occupied
the present building.
The increase amounted to more
than seven hundred dollars, these
figures being compiled at the close
of the December business. The rec
ord of th c office despite the increase
volume of mail handled has been ex
cellent. The loss of articles and dam
age has been at a low minimum and
the complaints have been compara
tively few.
Attributing this remarkable rec
ord of service to the willingness of
his employees to work and to their
own nn'ural ability, Mr. Cline ex
plained that with thc system used in
the building, it is pratically im
possible for the office to suffer any
congestion. Assistant Postmaster E.
B. Jackson, who hns been in thc em
ploy of the office for a number of
years has contributed in th t . develop
ment of the system nnd the realiza
tion of the high record of efficiency.
A big increase has also been shown
incoming mail. The busiest days
of the year came on December 19lh,
20th, throughout the 25th. Thc mail
early and wrap securely slogans have
aided the office in their work stated
the Postmaster nnd the record that
was made during the holiday rush
was very pleasing to me and the
office officials.
Further gains have been predicted
for the coming year was the belief
of the office heads.
