Parcels Post Feb.. 1 pth,
Postmaster -General Pelletier has
announced that parcel post will go
into operation in •Canada Feb. 10th.
One of the Inose important features
of the system is the local zone with-
in a 20 -mile radius of every post of-
fice within which a special rate low-
er than the provincial rate will ap-
ply. The purpose of this is to af-
ford some protection to the small
merchant against his competitor in
the cities and it also takes ac-
count of the fact that consideration
should be shown to the short dis-
tance to which many parcels will be.
sent.
The rates which will prevail' within
this local one of 20 miles will be as
follows :
One pound, rite cents.
Two pounds six cents.
Three ponnds seven cents.
Four pounds, eight cants.
Five pounds; 10 cents.
Six pounds, 12 cents.
It will be noticed that after four
pounds is reached the rate advances
two cents a pound,
Start Modestly.
For the fust three months, Feb-
ruary, March and April, the post of-
ft.ce department will not accept par-
cels over six pounds in weight, this
being to avoid being swamped by the
rush of business at the beginning.
After that three months period
parcels will be accepted up to 11
pounds and the local rates for the
higher rates will be :
Seven pounds, 14 cents.
Eight pounds, 16 cents.
Nine pounds, 18 cents.
Ten pounds, 20 cents.
Eleven Bounds, 22 cents,
The rates for the provincial zones
have not been announced as yet and
will be laid before Parliament in con-
nection with the regulations regarding
the whole service. Each of the pro-
vinces will constitute a separate zone.
