THE  REPLY j
United States Post Oflice Freeport, N. Y.. Nov. 23, 19U! Nasasu County Review, Freeport,  N. Y. Attention the Editor Dear Sir:-
Responding to your letter of the 17th inst.. relative to the installation of telephone service in the Post Office 90 that our patton^ can "phone his post office to see if there is any mail," I beg to reter you to Section 528 of the Postal Laws and Regulations which reads aa follows:
"Postmaaters and othera in tbe Pos¬ tal Service shall not give to unauthor¬ ized persons information concerning mail matter."
Ihe Postal Guide for July, 1915, page SO, contains the following order; "Telephone Inquiries—In answer¬ ing telephone irquiries concerning mail matter, the Postmaster should be care ful not to give information to any per¬ son whose voice is not recognized as that of aome one authoriEed to receive such information."
The Department will not grant an allowance for telepbone service similar to that which you request in offices of the second class. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated in thia office that such service is absolutely!, injpractic- able.
At my own expense, sliortly after assuming my preaent duties, I had in¬ stalled in tbe Post Office a telephone for the purpose of aaaisting the clerks in communicating with patrons about doubtful addresses on mail matter and notifying patrons of the receipt of perishable parcel post which could not have the immediate delivery which the condition of the parcel appeared to de¬ mand. The telephone is also used, where possible, to inform patrons re¬ siding outside of oor special delivery limits of the receipt of special deliv¬ ery mail matter addressed to them.
You refer to tbe telephones in the Garden City and Hempstead Post Of¬ fices. The Postmaster of Hempstead informa me that be uses the phone for the aame purposes for W'hich I have stated we use omrs.
You alao state in your letter that 'it does seem tbat we are entitled to as good service from our municipally owned post office aa from «ur railroad, and that a person has as much right to phone his post office to see if there ia any mail as to phone tfae railroad depot to tind tbe time the nest train- goes." In anawer to the foregoing, I would say that the Post OfBce is not municipally owned. I can aee no an¬ alogy between inquiries afeout mail matter and about train time.
The  arrival  and  the  departure  of trains ii arranged  according to eched- ule and the   time of such  arrival  and departure   is   practically  certain   and fixed.    The railroad   companies   issue time-tables containing full information about the   movements of local   trains. This time-table ia given as much pub-1 licity by the railroad utrapany as poa- { sible.      The   informanon     contained I therein   becomes  so general   that   but | few persona, relatively,  need resort to j telephone inquiries about trains.    But I how  diiferent ia tbe  situation   in  re- { apect to a letter or parcel which a pat-1 ron may or may not expect to be mailed j to  him  or her.    Probably, everybody i expects to receive mail matter at some time but not knowing when it will ar¬ rive andi anxious to know   if  any  haa arrived, you can easily realize tbe vol¬ ume  of  telephone  inquiries that  the post office   would  receive   from tbese who anticipates receiving mail matter I on one of our ten incoming daily mails, I if telephone service were available for j that purpose. .
I appreciate the faet that you, prompted by civic pride or busineas 'enterprise, ate striving to improve lo I cal postal facilitiea and have comman- I icated with me about the tfiattera re- I ferred to above as a means towards that end. In conclusion, permit me to say that I, prompted by civic prida and tbe duties imposed upon me. aro also stl iv ing to improve local postal facilities and as a means towards thnt end,   I   invite   any   fair criticism  ur
country.
The members of said Army Post wish to secure legal opinions as to sucholTense and consult as to thu man¬ ner of punishing such offender.
