Tho total number of milk cans for- warded during the past year was 1,102,472. Tits most convincing proof of the care with which baggage is handled is given in the ()Viral; of claims paid on loss, damage, pilfer- age. Out of nearly eight million pieces of baggage handled, the amount paid, on loss was only 4,701.79; ail damage only $1,009,03; and on pilfer- age only $571.07, the cost to the com- pany in these respects being only five cents per hundred parrots. This is a record of which ;lir. J. 0.
