8. In all cases where a Railway Mail Clerk is entitled to an increase
of salary, a special report should be made and the Postmaster
General's sanction obtained previous to the increased salary being
entered on the monthly pay list.

9. Railway Mail Clerks, in addition to their salaries, are entitled to
half a cent for each mile travelled whilst on actual duty. Until,
however, a Railway Mail Clerk is reported to the Postmaster General as
fully competent to take charge of the Mails, he is to be paid only one
quarter of a cent for each mile travelled.

10. The scale of salaries of Clerks employed in city offices is as
follows:--

1st Class from $1,000 to $1,600
2nd " 900 " 1,100
3rd " 600 " 800
4th " 400 " 520

In the 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes, the Clerks receive the lower salary
on appointment or promotion with an increase of $40 each year, until
the higher salary is attained.

In the first class there is no annual increase, the salary which is
fixed by the Postmaster General in each case, having regard to the
merits and services of the Clerks and the relative importance of the
duty entrusted to them.

11. Letter Carriers will receive such salaries and allowances for
uniforms as may be from time to time fixed by the Postmaster General.

VI.

NEW POST OFFICES.

1. In each report on an application for a new Post Office describe the
locality in which it is proposed to establish the office, giving name
of the township, number of lot and concession stating whether front or
rear of the concession, and county in which situated. In places where
land is not so divided give such particulars as may serve to indicate
the exact position. State further the number of churches, schools,
mills, stores, houses or other buildings in the immediate
neighborhood; the character of the surrounding land, whether well
settled, and the estimated number of families that the office applied
for would accommodate; its distance from all neighboring offices; its
estimated postal revenue; the mode and frequency of the service
proposed; the estimated annual cost; whether any previous application
for a Post Office in the same locality has already been reported on,
and
