Otherwise the. commercial station is an
right; The deliveries are prompt, though
for that matter they always were"
Schuneman & Evans CIV. A. Keller,
manager OF the postal order Department.
We have always had more or less DELAY
In the delivery of our mail The COM
made matters better but rather worse
As L understand 1t. all of the mail Is
sorted at the commercial station and Is
| denYered direct from there to those east
| of Wabasha street while we on the west
| of Wabasha street have to wait until II is
taken up to the~main Office and then sent
out may be mistaken in this, but at
any rate there is something that should
be remedied. Mail which comes in on the
| afternoon trains we do not get until the
| lies in the fact that there is not enough
force. When the commercial station was
started the men sent down there were
taken from the ,postoffice, thus reducing
both forces; l think that with the force
available they do as well as they can,
but the delay Is certainly disagreeable,
and In as large city as this should be
much improved. The commercial station
concerned"
r. 8. Kennedy, of the firm of Kennedy
Bros Since the commercial station has
been established / have noticed that de-
hveries have been half an hour later than
previously This has been. the rule almost
iished It seems to me that it Is far from
the center of the city ana that deliveries
are delayed longer than they were from
the old poStofice. -

the letters we have received, / have not
found any difficulty with the mail service.
My Minneapolis mail has been regularly
and promptly delivered"
Field, Schlick & Co. Crank Schlick Jr.)
we have good deal of trouble because
Of the delay in delivering mail from the
commercial station. and 1 have already
the ma complaint son de e tat
mail which Is stamped as received at the
commercial station at d. m. is not deliv-
cred to us until the next morning. This Is
particularly true of mall from the East
and while 1t does not always occur, 1t Is
frequent enough to be a matter Of annoy
ance to u.s. The postmaster claims that
the delivery would not be any quicker
even II 1t were made from the general
poStoffice, as 1T used TO be. This seems
hardly possible, but even If so 1t shows
that the mail Is delayed somewhere longer
than 1t should be. and the commercial sta
ton has certainly not furnished remedy
SO far. Understand. 1 do not want to
criticise the authorities of the postoffice,
but l think the fault is in the system
somewhere, and remedy should be found
Tor 1T. Regarding the delay in mail from
NhAAilAOdpOioS nave HOC noticed anu COuQl
say nothing about it at ALL All In all,
think the commercial station has not been
a success so far. at least, as the firms
along Wabasha street are concerned, and
think you VIII find that all of US in THU
| part Of town get our mail even later thar
under the old system
Charles e. Silke, mail clerk at the Col
den Rule-"There Is a delay in the deIiy-
| cry of mail. particularly in the Easssru
| mail. which Is not delivered for three OF
! four hours after the arrival Of the trains
In the city. I think that this delay has
| been even more since the establishment OF
| the commercial station than before. II
has certainly not been any shorter I do
| not know but that the station helps those
| In that immediate part Of the city, but W.
! up here are not benefited at all"
] Boston Clothing Company &C. r. Bobby
I'VE have noticed some delay in the de-
! livery Of our mail, but not enough to
cause any trouble to US, and on the whole
! we have not any complaint to make Of the
| service. The commercial station has moi
! made any difference one way or the other,
