1t Is reported that T. E. Byrnes is in
Washington in the interest of Kennedy
& O'Bricn, the contractors for handling
the city mails between the postotfice and
the depots. They accepted four-year
contract two years ago. Since then the
department has added four stations in
Minneapolis to say nothing of the Cam
den Place postoffice. The contractors
are expected to deliver mail to all these
places. Manifestly that would be un-
just. but strict Interpretation of the
contract would bind them to do it. I'm
less Mr.. Byrnes succeeds in getting the
department to allow extra compensation,
the contractors will have to deliver
mails to the stations as we'll as to the
central Office, at the original contract
price. Moreover, now that the street
railway carries mails to and from Cam
den Place, the contractors will be ex-
pected to foot that bill.
