SUSPENDS ELEVATOR SERVICE
Unless order is R~escinded IL VIII BE a
Case of Drill in Fed
eraI Building.

Postmaster Hazelton received an order
yesterday from the department at Wash
ington to suspend the elevator service in
the federal building except during sessions
Of United States court. This order comes
as the result of a recent report from the
inspector of supplies for public buildings.
The inspector reported that in his opinion
there was not a sufficient number Of off,
GERS and employees occupying Offices in the
building to warrant the continual service
Of an elevator.
The elevator is run by water pressure
and the government pays $500 annually by
contract to the water works company for
supplying the postofice building with
water. This, It was claimed by the inspec-
tor, was excessive and the closing down
OF the elevator service was suggested by
him as a means to reduce this expense.
This contract with the water company
does not expire until July 1, so the only
saving that can be made until then by
closing down the elevator will be the salary
Of the conductor, which is $42 a month.
Postmaster Hazelton, as custodian of the
federal building, will make an effort to
have the order rescinded, as lawyers and
others having business in the building
daily have already protested against the
elevator service being done away with.
The collector Of customs has his office on
the fourth floor, where are also located
the dormitories of the railway mail clerks.
The Offices of the pension examiner and in
ternal revenue collector are on the third
floor, while the court rooms and offices of
the clerk of courts are on the second floor.
1t is expected that a petition signed by
the attorneys and others having business
in the building protesting against the sus-
pension of the elevator service will be sent
to Washington.
