FOR RICHMOND
Western Union to Place
a Branch in the
District.

The Richmond District is trying to get
nearer the rest of the world and the Point
Lobos Improvement Club is doing it's best
to the residents of the district Congress
man Loud has promised to see to the bet
terment of the postal service, but the
Richmond people want something quicker
than the POstoffice Department is able to
provide. They want telegraph office.
With this end in view the Point Lobos
Improvement Club addressed an appeal to
the Pacific Postal and Western Union
pany declined to consider the proposition
They said that the telephone, which is
installed in most residences could be
used to transmit telegraphic messages to
the telegraph companys headquarters
and that the company would be pleased
to repeat, over the telephone, any mes
sages received. The company could not
afford, however, to establish a branch
office.
The Western Union, however, submit
ted a proposition upon whcih the Rich
mond people will act as soon as possible.
1t was to establish an Office in some
store, provided the storekeeper, or the
district, would provide the operator The
company will not pay the operator any
salary but promises to- maintain the Of
flee and to pay a liberal commission to
whoever takes charge. In this way the
