COULDN'T SELL ORDERS

THE WILMINGTON POST OFFICE
RAN OUT OF MONEY ORDER
BLANKS AND COULD NOT ISSUE
MONEY ORDERS.
Assistant Postmaster Billany is a
jealous official. Indeed his zeal for OBJ
of the department regulations
as he construes them, have been known
to put patrons of the Wilmington
post office to considerable inconven-
ience; has caused them to suffer some
annoyance and opssibly sustain some
loss; but his attention to details slip
ped cog this week.
The post office ran out of money
order blanks and numerous applicants
for money orders had to be turned
away because of the oversight or
neglect to make q requisition on the
department at Washington in time to
prevent such a result. Those who ap-
piled for these convenient vehicles for
transfer of money were told to apply
to the sub-station at Seventh and Pine
streets.
Mr. Billany will see to it, doubtless,
that such a lapse does not occur again.
