Suburban Mail Deliveries.


I noticed in your paper of Monday an

ing expressions regarding mail deliveries.
in which heartily concur. He states that
while there is said to be a delivery of mail
at 730 am. (and there doubtless does eX-
ist such a thing in some sections of the
city,, there are other parts of the city
that receive no mail until and $50. l
wish to state that we residents of Ecking-
ton never receive any mail until 10 am,
and several times, knowing there would be
a letter which l must have, l have waited
until 1915 before the mail was delivered at
our house Now l am sure any fair-minC-
ed citizen will agree with me that such
condition of affairs is nothing short of
barbaric. Whose fault is it? The postman
who has mail to deliver here starts from
station B on Capitol Hill and had the
whole length of North Capitol street on
his route. Why can't the Post Office De-
partment give us a postman to come d.
rectly here and not have to stop at every
house between here and station b?
have many times been compelled to leave
homo to keep an appointment before the
arrival of our first mail, and find on reach
ing there that a note has been sent me
pcstponing the appointment, which note
l receive upon my return home. Our first
mail arrives anywhere from 10 to 1O:45
am. Our only other regular mail Is de-
livered Letween 4 and pm. but there is
a collector who comes out about 5 pm,
and lie brings what mail has come later
for lexington only. / am sure that in
this 1 voice not only my own sentiments.
but those of all lexington, for We have
discussed the question many times among
ourselves Let us hope that the Post Office
Department will take pity on us and give
us an earlier morning delivery.

1.-The total waste (rate) on this section on
the night when the detailed investigation
was made was about 1 $50 gallons per hour
leaving 2S5 gallons per hour unaccounted
for in the house wastes as stated above.
The service stops to two houses could not
be found and this 2S5 gallons per hour
represents leaks in mains, plus what leaks
may have existed in these two houses.

IA metering of this district on February
As showed a total per capita supply of 234
gallons per diem and Also the curious fact
that the rate during the night was higher
than the average rate for twenty -four
hours. This Is accounted for by the fact
that the temperature was several degrees
below freezing and that taps were allowed
to run to prevent the bursting of improper
ly arranged pipes.
"A partial investigation of this district
made two days later, when the temperature
was higher, showed a total consumption
and waste of 1853 gallons per capita per
diem and an apparent waste from all
causes of 100 gallons per capita OF this
waste nearly 1900 gallons per diem was To-
Gated in six houses on Q street

Topic Discussed Before the American

There was largely attended meeting Of
the American Statistical Society at the
Cosmos Club last night. Carroll D. Wright,
commissioner Of labor, presided.
An essay by Mr.. Willoughby was the
principal paper of the evening. Mr.. Will
loughby went into the statistics Of the cen-
sus office, showing the tremendous growth
of large manufacturers and producers and
the corresponding decrease in the growth
OF tn, smaller ones.
Mr.. Willoughby's essay showed that such

Ing them into closer touch with each other.
Mr.. Stewart of the labor department took
exception to some of the figures quoted by
Mr.. Willoughby. He said too much conf
6ence should not be placed 1pon them. Dur
ing the eleventh CENSUS, he said, there had
not been as much pains taken to gather
statistics as during former counts. While
