NEED MORE CARRIERS
DELIVERY OF MAIL INADEQUATE
IN BUSINESS DISTRICT.
As Result of Complaints BY Business
Men, Postmaster Dimmick Will
Take Up Question of Facili-
ties With DEPARTMENT.

The Montgomery postoffice depart
ment is trying to make arrangements
so that the mail delivery in the CEN
trail part of the city will be more ef-
ficient. There are now only two men
doing the delivery In the business por-
ton of the city and a number of com
plants have been made by the bust
ness men that their mail is consid-
erably delayed.
So many of these complaints have
been received by Postmaster Dimmicls
lately that he has been trying to plan
some way to facilitate delivery but this
seems to be a matter of impossibility
with only two men covering all the
congested part of the city route.
This arrangement was all right
eight years ago." said the postmaster
when the city was not more than
half it's present size, and when there
were fewer big buildings into which
to deliver mail, but conditions have
changed. The two carriers are now
required to cover a larger district and
as new buildings are being erected
the work is doubled"
Postmaster Dimmick will bring the
matter before the Washington depart
ment and in all probability at least
one more man will be added to the
carriers doing the delivery in the GEN.
trail part of the city.

REVENUE BOARD CONSIDERS IT

The first move in connection with
making the preliminary arrangements
for the building of roadways to the
site which has been chosen for the
Methodist College on the Woodley Road,
was made yesterday, when Judge w.
HI. Thomas appeared before the Board
of Revenue and asked that a road be
built from the Carter Hill Road to the
college site on the Woodley Road
At the same time Judge Thomas
turned over to the Board a deed for a
forty-foot roadway over the proposed
route.
The Board also discussed the advis-
ability of building a roadway from the
end of Perry Street to the proposed
site.
While no conclusion was reached in
regard to these matters, 1T IS generally
understood that both the roads will
be cut through in due time and that
a belt will be formed embracing the
college grounds.
In this connection Commissioner w.
H. Lawson took occasion to remark
that the road workers should be call
ed upon to do more work and should
look more carefully into what they
have on hand.
