The American method of conducting
the postofice business so as to give
"the greatest good to the greatest
number and NO profit to the govern
ment" has one disadvantage. That is
the impossibility Of providing from
time to time. as the requirements Of
An expanding volume Of business call
Tor them, new buildings for postofice
uses, or for the extension of those al
ready in use. At the time Of the last
report there were 1000 postoffices Of
the 1rst and second classes in the
United States, exclusive of minor or
village postotfices, and of these chief
postomces 252 were in buildings own
ed by the government, and the remain
der were in leased premises, the gross
annual rental of which was nearly
$6OO,0OO exclusive of nearly As much
more paid for the rent of postal sub
stations The entire appropriation
paid for leased buildings and parts OF
buildings (the usage of the government

a safe or vault) is 81 500, 900 year, and
the larger postoftices, which are, Of
course, the which yield the most profit
to the government, the minor ones be-
ing operated at loss, entail no expen-
diture for buildings. money for which
is separately appropriated from gov
ernment funds by congress. Estimates
differ as to the value Of postoffice
buildings owned by the United States
government. The New York postoftlce
cost $1,000. 900, and all large American
cities, Washington now included, have
postomces Of modern design, the col
lective value Of which is certainly not
less than 500 900, and may be con-
siderably in excess of that amount In
view OF the fact that in many cases the
sites for postoffice buildings have been
presented by the state or municipali-
ties, as the case may be, without any
cost to the general government, and If
the value Of land be taken into account
and the expense of interior equipment
added 1T is probable that the postohice
buildings, represented by the govern
ment, and included, would represent a
capitalization of $200,00O,0O0, the an
nual interest charge on which would
about equal the annual deficit from
postoffice operations. which is from
100000 to s10,O0O,OO0. 1t is under
these circumstances that the demand
for new postoffice buildings or for the
improvement Of established postoffice
buildings is usually resisted by con-
gress. There is considerable rivalry
between cities in this regard. The
Kansas City postoffice, when complet-
ed, is to cost $s50,0O0: the St. Paul
postoffice 100000, the Omaha post
Office $750,00O, the Savannah postofiice
100000, the Charleston postoffice
100000 and the Newark postohace
building like sum. New York ex-
ceeds all other cities of the country
not only in respect to the volume Of
postoffice business, but also in the
profit arising from it.-New York Sun.

pro tenn presiding. and Council

A. communication was received
from +. T. Woodruff relative to
the sidewalk in front of the library
property, regarding which h e
claimed there had been misunder-
standing. Arrangements had been
made to construct the walk above
grade, and the board ordered it
placed on grade. Mr.. Woodruff
now washes his hands of the whole
affair and claims the responsibility
OF the sidewalk rests entirely with
the city council. He says the
property is practically public prop
erty, and his relation to it is merely
that OF trustee. AS such trustee he
has no funds wherewith to pay the
cost OF the contemplated improve
ment. The board instructed the
city engineer to place FIVE foot
walk in front of the library build
ing, also the lot next sonth. The
question OF responsibility for the
expense Of construction is to be de-
termined later.
