Postmaster McCoppin sent communi-
cation to the superintendents of the
branch Offices yesterday that must have
caused perturbation in the minds of those
worthy servants of the people. The epistle
was the result of a torrent of complaints
that have been flowing in upon Mr.. Coppin
ever since he took charge of the office. It
was as follows, and was impartially sent
to every superintendent:

notice-and this is 10 me the worst feature
of the case-lhat The excuses furnished by the
dellDqUents are often uf frivolous nature,
showing that the gravity of the business is not
properly appreciated by them. Unless im-
mediate amendment is made in the service this
office will acquire the reputation OF inefficient
service and weak administration. This / am
resolved 10 avoid IL possible and call upon

has light to expect and demand, viz: as per-
feet postal system as the appliances at our

pointed me Postmaster and | shall make good
my promise with the instrumentalities at hand

FRANK MCCOPPIN, Postmaster.
The Postmaster has not only deter
mined that his assistants shall give him
better service and reduce the number of
complaints that annoy him, but he has
notified the owners of the buildings in
which the branch Offices are located that
the condition of the structures must be
improved and better accommodations fur
nished or the Government will find other
quarters.
The annual rent paid by the Government
for the stations is as follows: A, $500; B,
S1400; G. $3.50; D, $500: E, $12e0; F,
$3.50; G. $500; Il. $3.50; j. $3.50. and K,
$1,000
Some OF these stations are filthy, with
out proper conveniences, and in danger
ously unsaniiary condition. They were
recently inspected by the Postms ster, and
as result of his visit the owner of Station
B. in the Mission, was informed that il be
did not improve the condition of the place
and provide better accommodations other
quarters would be found. Station u, for
which the Government pays $500 per an
mum. was also in very unsatisfactory
condition. but the Harbor Commissioners
promised TO make changes suggested by

The Edison Light and Power Company
has just announced a modification in its

is in fact reduction in the minimum price
