FREE DELIVERY OF EXPRESS
Nav Be Installed in This CITY
at an Early Date.
Company Preparing to Comply With Com
MISSIONS Order but Alternative Propo-
stion May Be Accepted.

Shortly after the issuance of a
second order by the railway COM
mission last week, the Pacific Ex-
press Co. began to take active
steps toward the installation of a
separate express Office and agent
in this city, in accordance with an
order issued by the commission on
October Q. The time limit having
expired, the commission issued a
second order last week, citing the
company to appear before them on
January g and show cause why the
service had not been Installed.
Route Agent w. P. Eskridge
was in the city Monday making ar
rangements to carry out the order
of the commission. Bids for the
construction of additional Office
room in the depot were received
from local contractors, and Mr..
Eskridge stated that the company
would install the separate Office as
soon as the facilities could be pro-
vided.
Since the order was made,
number of citizens have expressed
the belief that free delivery would
be a greater convenience to the
people and accomplish the same
end as the separate Office. When
asked as to the position of his COM
pany in this matter, Mr.. Eskridge
stated that he was not authorized
to say what the company would be
willing to do, but thought it pos
sible that satisfactory free delivery
service would be installed if the
commission could be induced to
rescind the order for a separate of
fee. Secretary w. N. Owen of
the Board of Trade, through whose
efforts the order for a separate Of
fee was secured, is taking up the
alternative proposition with the
Board and expects to communicate
with the express company as soon
as he can learn how it is regarded
by the people of the city.
