Whereas, by the existing arrangement of the

receive but one mail per week from the South
and East, while the contractors upon the route
over which the mails are carried, are perform
ing atri-,Ueekly stage service
And whereas, on account of the long inter-
walls elapsing between each trip, the mails be-
come so cumbersome that great delays neces-
sarily occur in the transportation of the same.
And whereas, also. the social, commercial
and political wants of our citizens imperatively
demand additional mail facilities,
Therefore, be it resolved by the Mayor and
Common Council of the City of St. Paul, that
the increasing population and growing bust
ness of this City and Territory justify us in call
ing upon the Post Office Department for at
least tri-weekly mail during the winter sea-
son, and daily mail during the season ofnavi-
CATION, from St. Paul to Dubuque and that we
respectfully but urgently request the Postmas
ter General to give this subj ect the attention
