Postal Reform.

AIDING THE WASHINGTON POST OFFICE
postmaster Conger wrote a few days ago to
General Superintendent Thompson, Of the railway
mail service, suggesting the advisabity and i'm
portance OF aiding the Washington Post Office by
causing distribution of matter handled on rail-
way postal routes to be made up In sections as
follows:
All matter for West Washington to be included In
Georgetown distribution.
All matter for any street and number northeast.
southeast or Navy Yard to be made up for East
Capitol station.
All matter for any street or number northwest or
southwest to be made up for Washington city dis
tributiOn.
All matter addressed to Senators and officers and
employees OF the Senate to be made up for the Sen
ate post Office.
All matter addressed to members of Congress and
Officers and employees OF the House of Representa-
t1VeS to be made up for the House post office
All matter addressed to an official OF the United
States or District government to be made up as
official matter.
Mr. Conger said in his letter: ST feel confident
that II this schedule can be adopted it will result
in the delivery of letters to all parts of the city
much earlier than is now possible, and | sincerely
trust that you will cause the same to be given a
fa1r trial, and hope It may be commenced at once,
SO as to be In good shape before Congress meets"
superintendent Thompson has approved the sug-
gestions, and to-day issued printed circular Of
instructions on lines entering in this city.
