ANGUIL- LA are requested to present them for settlement to either of the undersigned Attorneys by the expiration of this month. F. COULTER. D. H. LUNNEY. Frederiksted,s St. Croix, V. L U. S. 15 August 1921. T a— Be Redeemed Promptly. HE €. O. D. service between the Uni- T ted States and this office is growing steadily, and uring the past six months has increased at least 60%. This is good business, and it is appre- ciated. However, recent experience in- dicates that there is developing consid- erable laxity in the redemption of C. 0. D. parcels, due no doubt to the fact that patrons of this service have gain- ed the understanding that they have 30 days in which to claim such mail, and that it will be returned to sender gat the expiration of 30 days witnout any obli gation or expense attaching to the ad dressee. To import goods, have the send- ers prepay postage and €. 0.-D. fee, and eventually fail to redeem such impoytations, necessitating the coliection of return-postage from senders, and im posing needless labor on the postal ser- vice in handling and re-handling of such matter, is obviously to take an undue ad- vantage of the privileges offered by the C. O. D. service, and it is desired to bring this sitnation strongly to -the no- tice of those concerned that the .unde'- sirable practice may be corrected imme- diately. At the same time all patrons of the C. O. D. service are advised that only in cases where senders do not restrict delivery toa fewer number of days will C. O. D. parcels be held 30 days at office of delivery. When send- ers fix a certain time-limit, not less than 3 nor more than 30 days, C. O. D. mat- ter will be treated accordingly. It is not understood why merchandise would be imported if not wanted, o before it is needed and can be reeemed, and it is sincerely hoped that delinquents who have received first dnd second notices of the arrival of C. O. D. parcels will appraciate the desirability of removing them promptly. Post Office, Christiansted, V.l Au- gust 17, 1921. B. R. LARSEN, Postmaster.
