MORE BRANCH POST OFfICES WANTED

MORE BRANCH POST OFFICES WANTED
A crying need OF this great city is more
branch post Offices There are now fifteen
Of them, including those which serve Kings
bridge. Riverdale, Woodlawn, fremont, Ford
ham and other places in the outskirts. There
ought 10 DO at least fifty. The long intervals
between some of them are fairly ludicrous, and
cause wonder that the postal service OF the city
il 50 good On the West Side, for example,
there is no branch between Station G, On
Broadway, between Fifty-frst and Fifty sec
ond sts, and Station NJ. on the corner OF One
hundred and fifty -eighth-st. and Tcnth-ave.-
a distance of more than FIVE miles, most OF
which is rapidly soidifying into continuous
CITY. The East Side is better of, having Sta
ton II in East Fifty-fourth-st., and then sta
ton X, in ThiId-ave., between Eighty and
Eiphty-scventh sts.. and then l.. in East One
hundred and twenty ffth-st. But even these
gaps are absurdly large. South OF Central PARK
there are only nine branch stations. South OF
the General Post Office there is one branch
p, in the Produce Exchange.
In the compact downtown business quarter
where merchants use the General Post Ofhce'
the inconvenience of the situation are less
kcenly felt than further uptown, especially in
