Department DELAY
is UNACCOUNTABLE
PASADENA PoSTOFFIcE MAY
LOSE NEW SITE
Weeks Have Elapsed Since Bids Were
Sent to Washington and Yet No
Answer-lmportant Plans for the
East Side Free Delivery

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 30.--Postmaster J.
w. Wood has received instructions
from the postoffice department at
Washington to report the condition of
the newly annexed East Pasadena dis
trict with view to the early installa-
ton of free mail delivery there.
Some time ago Mr.. Wood wrote to
the department stating that this new
and growing district was likely to be
soon annexed to Pasadena and asking
that the department make an investi-
cation of the conditions prevailing
there so as to be ready for it's new
responsibilities. The present instruc-
tions are the result.
Postmaster Wood will reply immedi-
ately and has hopes that before the
first of the year two or three mail car
riers will be allowed him for this SER
vice.
According to semi-official informa-
ton, however, free mail delivery can
be expected at present only on small
number of the streets in the section,
and even on those for a block or two
north and south of Colorado street,
Catalina avenue, north and south; VIII
son avenue, north and south; Chester
avenue, north and south; Michigan
avenue, one block; Ellis avenue, and a
few of the east and west improved
streets near Colorado street-these are
the ones added to East Colorado street
as far east as Hollister avenue, of
course, which are likely to be granted
the free delivery service first. 1t is
likely, too, that the sub-station now
in East Pasadena will be used as the
starting point for the new carriers to
be used in the district.
Move Slowly
Should Postmaster Wood succeed in
getting the new service at this time
II would be quite a feather in his cap,
as it took considerably over year to
get a similar service for North Pasa-
dena after it was annexed to Pasadena.
Some unaccountable delay has oc-
Cured In the matter of deciding on
new quarters for the postoffice and
Postmaster Wood is keeping the mails
hot trying to hurry the decision of the
department.
A number of bids for the postoffice
were submitted to the department sew
eral weeks ago and a decision was con-
fidently looked for at once.
If the office Is to be ready for the
expected rush Of tourists this winter
something must be done at once, 1t
Is believed that the. department will
accept either the present location as II
Is proposed to enlarge 1t or the quarters
