"A Talk With Postmaster Asbcrry.

The condition of the mail service in
Southwestern Virginia, and especl-
ally in this city, needs the attention
of the postal authorities at Wash
ington.
Complaints as to the inefliciency OF
the service are heard every day,
though little has as yet been done to
improve it, Today the service is
little better than it was five years
ago, when Roanoke was small town,
and many of the furnishing little
cities along the lines of the Norfolk
and Western and the Shenandoah
roads had hardly been heard of. The
PostoiIice Department has not kept
up with the progress of this section,
and, as a natural sequence, Roanoke
and her sister cities Of this section
have nothing like the facilities en-
joyed by many places of less than
half the population and Importance.
Take as an illustration three Vir
ginia cities of nearly equal size. This
will do more than any other one argu-
ment to prove that Roanoke does not
have anything like the amount OF
money to carry on the office that it
needs. Here are the receipts and ex-
penditures of these three Offices for
the year ending April 1.

now an established fact.
Last nights meeting of the stock :
holders and directors at Gray & Bos-
wells office ratified the charter that
had already been placed on record
and then accepted the bylaws of the
company recently drawn up by Rob-
ert E. Scott, the attorney.
This was necessary before any bust
ness could be transacted by the COM
pany The meeting of stockholders
was largely attended, a majority of
the stock being represented. Vice
President Joseph T. Engleby, in the
absence of President Simmons in the
South, presided. No other business
except the ratification of the bylaws
and charter was transacted.
Immediately after the adjournment
of the stockholders the board of di-
rectors met. They simply did this to
organize, and then they adjourned.
All of the directors were present with
the exception of Messrs. Simmons and
O'Leary. In their absence it was de-
cided not to discuss any business, as
it was thought best to have full at
tendance before this was done. On
Monday evening at o'clock the board
will again meet at Gray 81 Boswell's,
when important business will be dis
cussed and acted upon.
