is estimated that in the Christmas period ex- tending from Friday, 2: Dec. to Tuesday, 25 Dec., a total of 60 millions of latters, packets,, postcards, etc., passed through the London post offices. The ordinary mail for such a period would amount to 30 millions. Christ mas, therefore, exactly doubled the work of the General Post Office
At the country section at Mount Pleasant, 190,000 bags were dealt with during the period.. The ordinary number is 110,000, but whereas the ordinary bags would only be balf filled, at Christmas they were overflowing, The mid- night collection, on the Sunday night was also five times in excess of the ordinary Sunday, night collection...
To cope with this" tremendous Increase of work between 7,000 and 8,000 additional meo,« largely drawn from the ranks of the unemploys. ed, were engaged. In addition to the auxiliaries, whose work, it, may be added, gava complete Batisfaction, the 20,000 regular employees worked on an average four hours a day each overtime.
Mr. J. Bruce, the Controller of the General Post Office, remarked to a reporter that 30 year ago Christmas made no difference at all to the work of the Post Office, and no special arrange. ments were made. At that time, however, heavy mails were the rule, on St. Valentine's Day, which nowadays made" no...appreciable- difference.
