Requirements for Postal Tube Ser

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. June 2s.-The Post Office De
partmcnt has decided to change the re-
quirements for the pneumatic-tube postal
service, and to-day issued a new set of
specifications This will necessitate a post
ponement of the re-esta bl:rhment of this
service where IT was formerly in operation.
and IT is now expected that the tubes will
not be in active dse much before Octo-
Der /.
About n month ago the Post Office De-
partment issued a call for bids establishing
the pneumatic-tube postal service in Bos-
ton, Brooklyn. New York. Philadelphia.
Washington. Chicago and st. Louis. The
proposals were to be opened July u and de-
cisons announced on or before July q.
When the various companies examined the
specifications, fault was found with the
severe requirements regarding the exten-
sion of the system to include such sub
stations as may be established in the fu-
ture.
1t was provided that these extensions
should be made by the contractor with
practically no remuneration, the result be-
lng that the department decided to issue n
new set of proposals. These were ready
to-day and are considerably more liberal
than those first prepared.
Under the new proposals bios will be re-
ceiyed up to August IA, and the award will
be made probably on August %.
