SING. the publication by THE SUNDAY HERALD OF
various complaints concerning the delay In receiv-
ing the morning Eastern mails, the City Post onlce
has arranged to secure their delivery by the
first delivery. But this has been done, we are In
formed, only at the expense of later delivery. The
of this delay, is said, Is not due to neglect
or tardness OF the City Post ONCE officials, but
arises from the fact that the mails on trains from
the East are not made up for the different branch
post offices. The mails from the West arriving by
the Baltimore and Ohio and Northern Central
routes are so made up on railway postal routes.
Why this has not been done on trains from the East
is not explained As early as October, 1885, the City
Postmaster addressed request to the Superinten-
dent OF the Railway Mail Service, requesting that
on railway postal routes the Washington mails be
made up as follows All matter for West Washing
ton to be Included IN Georgetown distributions; for
any street and number northeast southeast, or Navy
Yard, to be made up for East Capitol Station; for
Senators, for Senate Post 0flce; for members OF
Congress, for House Post once, and for officials OF
the District OF Columbia as OIL ;ia matter. III the
mails on the Eastern trains were thus made up
there would be no delay In delivery. Why has this
not been done? We trust the City Postmaster will
wake up the Railway Mail superintendent. In no
community of its size save Washington would such
delays be tolerated for a day.
