EIGHT OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THUREDAY, MAY 3. 7T~~T:rT

JSHiliJ. POTSe SMITH Continued from Page One During the past njne year*, the receipt* of the office have more than doubled. The money order* i sued during the summer of 1913, , amounted to 4450, to the aggre•*e value erf *47,808.00. Compor-. h -sin* with the rammer of 1922 re- : veal that the number of orders is- , , sued amounted to 11,036, reprc- , seating tie 'rum of #125,248. or , J early three times the volume of , | _ " isincss done in this department , -<i^ years previously. i | The special delivery service dur i in g the season of 1913, required i j jrst one boy, who using a bicycle delivered 4.394 pieces, receiving a i total compensation of *351.52. I i The aummcr of 1922 saw thi.«!< ,-rvice requiring two men each * i •• ith an automobile, who delivered | 1 .0,202 parcel.-, for which they re- 1 r rived *1616,24. |< • ui ™

The comparison shows an increase of nearly five-fold. The parcel post has been the 1 greatest factor in the increase of i business rince 1913, at which time ' there was practically none. During < the coming -eason. two trucks i will be required to care for the < hundreds of parcels received daily. 1 In 1913 there were 22 postal em- « ployeea; in 1922 there were 36. ' The business of the postoffice ' had grown to such an extent that ; nt the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1922, it had almost reached the . amount necessary to rank it as a ( first class office. The summer following so far exceeded any previous season, that at the close of the December quarter, 1922, the amount of business transacted had automatically rendered it a first j class office, but it cannot be offi- f dally rated as such until July 1, 1923, the beginning of the new fis- ■

cai year. Several changes occurred in National Postal ruling during Mr. Smith's regime. At one period all third and fourth county postoffices were supervised by a Central Ac ' counting office. Ocean City was chosen as the Centra! Accounting office for Cape May County, and Postmaster Smith received and au-diteji-mporu for the thirty-two minor offices of the county, for several years, until a new ruling made Jersey City the one aeeount- , ing office for the state. Postmaster Smith very vividly , recalls his duties a* War Postmas- , ter. Not only was it more dlffi- • cult to secure competent help at that time but every postmaster became the government's special representative or secret service man |

for his community. Many a secret i service man slipped quietly into 1 our city, held his conference either ! : at the home of the postmaster or at the postoffice, gathered his mae terUI and quietly slipped away f 8 again, leaving his co-worker here , » to further plans. The postmaster I, I also served as Registrar of all Ali- ] -lens at that time granting permits - j for change of residences, etc. j -! Mr. Smith regards the privilege < - of serving as postmaster for this - -I city the, highest honor that could i ' conferred upon Mm. While rcf gretting to sever connections with j ' the present office staff, he is gla.l lay aside the duties of office ami , j - in retiring wishes his successor!. I every good luck conceivable. , 1 • Mr. Smith can claim close asso-j relations with this resort for a per- i j of forty-two years, when as a j f i j child, his parents first moved into, ,! the locality. The family however, ' ij were absent for six years in the j meantime, consequently Mr. Smith | j claims a residence of thirty-six j j r J-ears.

The retiring postmaster is a prtr , duct of our public schools and has f always been actively identified . with every movement making for f the advancement of teh commun- , ity. He retires from office with . the good will of the entire city, highly esteemed as an exemplary . citixen, who has always endeavored to make his personal character. , conform with the high ideals of t the city.
