The Baltimore S~a'- Washington correspondent,
Gays that Col Adreon visited the Postofhce De-
partment few days ago with view 90 securing
additional postal facilities for the city and suberbs
by the establishment of postal stations in the out
laying districts. The correspondent adds "Let-
tiers may be mailed, received registered, stamps
gotten. and almost all postal business done well
At the station nj the central Office. and in this
way the fullest advantages ofthe postal system i.
brought into the service Of neighborhoods miles
away from the central postofiee. Canton and
several other city districts will probably have pos
tai stations, and coon this stem Is complete
u Is likely to be still more widely extended BY the
substitution Of postal stations and the carrier sys
ten for the outlaying villages Of Baltimore county
which new maintain village postofices. The ad-
Eantages Of the new plan win be those attributed
TO the star service safety, celebrity and certainty
with supervision close at hand"
