Again the Department assumes no more
r-sponsibility now than beiore, and all
that is gained by the payment of the five
cents, is a vast amount of trouble to the
jnost office, an increased liability to depre
dations, und no insurance. If the De

be serviceable. Tbe present plan is worse
than none at all.
