query or two on that subject Why it that the Stamp
Department of our City Post-Ohice is not kept open
during Post Office hours Why is the Stamp OH 70 open
op, SIX h during the Day while the Post Office is open
tw elve hours Are the duties OF Ssmp Office so srduous
that the clerks hear under them but six hours
day require the remaining eighteen hours to recover
from their LAHORE hardly think that six hours sitting up
ON well cushioned revolving stoo with occasional use
d the fingers scssorng the sheets of paper could have
very disastrous Effect upon them And certainly their

The present arrangement perhaps may accommodate
very wen business down iowa who can step into
the S;aup Office ST any hour in The day but can assure
,on sud through the ~orthy Postmaster and through
