sue living at his death, and ln default OF
such issue to my daughter. Ellen Hern-

In his annual report Postmaster Cen

which has caused good deal of COM
ment among congressman, and which
will undoubtedly receive legislative
action very soon. 1t is the matter ci
classification of pestoffices and the
allowances of those of tie third Gloss
Mr.. Villas thinks that the system which
has been In practice for some time, by
which third class postofices are graded
is very poor; also, that those of this
rank should receive more financial
assistance at the hands of the govern
ment. He recommends that officers O,
the third class, getting $500 year OF
more, should be given buildings to be
occupied solely for postoffice purposes
and that there should be additional
clerics, services. He recommends tina,
such offices should be leased by the
government and given allowances fol
fuel, light and clerical force to az
amount not in excess of box rent ant
