MOVED cHIcAeo's PosToFFIcE
Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail

Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.
Chicago. Ill.-The gigantic task
of moving the Chicago postoffice into
the new quarters in the recently COM
pleted $4,000 900 federal building, with
out delaying or disturbing the handling
of approximately two million pieces
OF mail matter which the Office handles
daily, began Saturday. Frederick E.
Coyne, the postmaster, was the author
ity for the statement that the work
of the postoflice, which collects and
delivers mail over a territory of 1914
square miles, would proceed without
a moments delay.
By Sunday, the mail, including the
outgoing, but with the exception of
certain kinds of second class matter
which would be handled from the tenn
porary structure for some weeks ys'.
will be cared for in the new building.
The moving began without cere-
mony. although United States Senator
Hopkins and the majority of the
Chicago congressman together with
representatives from the postmaster
general uepdi tiuSul WSlS piSSShl.
Our installation here today" said
Mr. Coyne. marks a distinct change
in methods of handling mail in Chica
go. Work that has been done by hand
ever since there was a postotfice here
will be done by machinery. | believe
we now have the best equipped Office
machinery in the world. With pneu
matte tubes running from the post
Office to all the principal stations, and
with the prospect that within a few
weeks all heavy matter will be carried
by electric cars to the depots, through
the tunnels of the Illinois Tunnel com
pany. ! believe that the beginning Of
the new year will find mail handled
faster in Chicago than any other place
in the world"
