PETITION FOR ADDITIONAL MAIL SERVICE
On the LIST of last July the mail leaving Bel Air
at ~ A. NJ, connecting with the early morn
Ing mail east from Baltimore, was discontinued,
greatly to the inconvenience Of almost every
business interest of the town and neighborhood
The subscribers to the Bel Air newspapers,
whose postofIices are supplied from points on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad east of Edgewood, also feel the loss Of
this mall Before its discontinuance the news
papers, which are printed on Thursday afternoon
and night, reached their subscribers at nearly
twenty postofilees on Friday. Now they are
delayed twenty-tour hours. large amount of
business is transacted between Bel Air and
Havre de Grace, Lapidum, Stafford and other
points along the Susquehanua river. With this
early mail Il letter received In Bel Air at 5 P. NJ.
from Havre de Grace, could be answered the
same evening, mailed and the reply received
in Havre de Grace the following day Under the
present arrangement it must first go to Balti-
more before taking direct start for Havre de
Grace. Accordingly petition, which has been
eli culated here for the re.estabishment of this
early mall has received the signature Of every
business man and member of the bar to whom it
was presented, with scarcely an exception. 1t will
be transmitted to Postmaster General James, and
we have no doubt he will appreciate the great
Importance of this service to the citizens of this
neighborhood, and will at once order its re-es-
tablishment.
