1808, 9 July. F. I. Scuclamore, Esq.,
examined by
1747. Mr. Eodwell. With regard to the
increased accomodation you have given to the
public by establishing receptacles for letters in
various parts, what do you find from that? —
We find that imreasing accomodation invariably
leads lo a very great increase of the business; dur
ing the last feiv years we have very largely in
creased the number of receptacles for lette; s by the
establishment, not only of additional post offices,
but of pUlar boxes, throughout the country.
1748. Do you hnd vvhere a pillar box is
introduced in the vicinity of a post office there
is any sensible diminution of the work done at
the previously existing post office? - No, the
pillar box makes its oion business for itself.
1740. Have you figures to prove that fact?
— 1 have; in the year 1863 we hud 15,200 re
ceptacles for letters, and ice l.ad 640,000,000 of
letters posted in them, that is at the rate of
42,000 letters for each receptacle. In the year
1867 we had 17,200 receptacles, and we had
774,000,000 of letters posted in them, that is at
the rate of 45,000 letters for each receptacle, be
ing a net increase of 3,000 letters posted in each
receptacle fer letters.
1760. You have another illustratiou to give
in regard to the effect of increased accomoda
tion, viz., the post office savings banks? — Yes,
that is a very remarkable illustration.
1761. They were established in 1861?
They carne inio operation at the end of that year.
1762. At the end of 1861, what was the
increase of depositors in the old savings banks,
over the number at the end of the year 1860?
— The depositors in the old savings banks at the
end of the year 1861 had increased upon the
number at the end of the year 1860 at a rate of
less than 1 per cent., at the rate of 7- 8ths
per cent.
1763. In the six years foliowing the iu
troduetion of the post office savings banks, what
has beeu the increase? — 1 ovght to say that the
number of depositors in the old savings banks had
1868, 9 Juli. lir. F. I. Scudamore,
examineret af
1747. Hr. RodwelJ. Hvad linder De med
Heusyn til den forøgede Bekvemmelighed, De har
forskaffet Publikum ved at indrette Receptakler
for Breve paa forskjellige Steder? — Vi finde,
at forøget Bekvemmelighed uforanderligt fører til
en meget stor Forøgelse i Forretningen; i de sid
sle fau Aar have vi i meget høi Grad forøget
Antallet aj Receptakler for Breve ved Oprettelse
ilcke alene af nye Postkontorer, men af Brevkasser
rundt om i Landet.
1748. Finder De, at hvor en Brevkasse
anbringes i Nærhedeu af et Postkontor, er der
nogen kjendelig Formindskelse i Arbeidet paa
det før existerende Postkontor? — Brevkassen
skaber sig sin egen Forretning.
1740. Har De Talstørrelser for at godtgjøre
dette Faktum? — Ja jeg har; i Aaret 1863 havde vi
15,200 Receptakler for Breve, og der blev nedlagt
i dem 640,000,000 Breve, d. e. i Gjennemsnit
42,000 Breve for hvert Receptakel. 1 Aaret 1867
havde vi 17,200 Receptakler og der blev nedlagt
7 74,000,000 Breve, d. e. i Gjennemsnit 45,000
Breve for hvert Receptakel, hvilket er en Forøgelse
af 3,000 Breve for hvert Receptakel.
1760. De har et andet Exempel at med
dele med Heusyn til Virkningeu af forøget Be
kvemmelighed, nemlig Postvæseuets Sparebauker?
— Ja, dette er en meget mcerkværdig Illustration.
1761. De bleve oprettede i 1861? — Ja,
de traadte i Virksomhed ved’ Slutningen af dette Aar.
1762. Hvad var Forøgelsen af Indskydere
i de gamle Sparebanker ved Slutniugen af 1861
over Antallet ved Enden af Aaret 1860? — Ind
skyderne i de gamle Sparebanker havde ved En
den af Aaret 1861 overskredet Antallet ved En
den af Aaret 1860 i et Forhold af mindre end
1 Procent, med T/a Procent.
1763. Hvor stor har Tilvæxteu været i de
sex Aar efter Oprettelseu af Postvæseuets Spa
rebanker? — Jeg bør bemærke, at Antallet af
Indskydere i de gumle Sparebanker havde i jiere
