In speaking Of the matter yesterday Mr.. Sullivan
said that the change would add thrty-fve square
miles to the territory now covered. and would make
total Of sixteen carrier stations and fortyfve SUBJ
stations He said that under the Civil Service rules
those now employed in the fourteen Independent
Offices will still be eligible for places clerks X
they want them AS the pay Is rather small, IL II
not likely that all Of them will be able TO afford to
give the eight hours work day required. One Of
the features Of The order Mr. Sullivan said,
is the immediate change 10 the letter designation OF
the carrier stations and of the sub-stations num-
bers. Since Mr.. Sullivan took charge Of the postofce
there has been a marked increase of efficiency. and
this latest order will. when the men become
customed to their duties, give Brooklyn a splendid
mail service. Up to Mr.. Suvan's appointment
there were but six Carrier stations and only eleven
sub-stations In he city. There 53l carriers
employed regularly. and 100 substitutes. There Is
also force OF eco clerks including messengers and
other employees Mr.. Sullivan has the distinction OF
having brought the Brooklyn Postoice to the $1.000
900 mark In its business transactions with the public.
