Particularly in the morning | was
so irritable and upset that | could
hardly wait until the coffee was serv-
ed, and then had no appetite for
breakfast and did not feel like attend
ing to my store duties.

tum there must be some merit In it

home package and she prepared It
according to directions. The result
was a very happy one. My nervous

Mr. James A. Howarth, Postmaster,
New Haven,
Dear sr-Yours Of the 18th instant
has been received, The plan which
you suggest for an addition to this
building, on the south side which
would give the postofIlee the much
needed additional room, appears to me
TO be the only practicable means avail
able to accomplish that end, There APP
pears TO be no probability of a new
building commensurate with the I'M
portance Of New Haven being authora-
ed by congress within any reasonable
Time. Meantime the necessities Of the
postoflice are pressing and increasing
and should be met by at least some
temporary arrangement. A one thigh)
story addition on the south, say 10 feet
wide, extending from the front to the
rear Of the present building, would at
least serve until o new building might
be secured,
If 1t meets your views, | viii put
myself in communication with Mr..
Sperry regarding this matter, An APP
preparation Of $4,000 would seem TO be
enough for such an addition as sug-
gested, and would, no doubt, be seour-
ed II the treasury department can he
made to sec the necessity for the work,
The department would, no doubt, be
willing to detail a special agent or In
spector to examine the premises II
thought best. Yours truly

L. S. Custom House Building New Ha-
ven, Conn, Feb. %, 1908.
The Hon. Secretary OF the Treasury,
Washington. d. c.
Sir. Please find herewith letters from
the postmaster Of this city, bearing
dates 18th and 18th instant, IN which
attention Is drawn to the necessity for
additional room for the postofiice diyis-
ion of the building under my custody
1t Is manifest, upon considering the
number Of employees In tho postoflice d.
vision something over one hundred
and ffty) and the limited space to
which they are confined in their work,
that there Is urgent need for addition.
al space for that division.
South of the existing building is an
"alley-way" about is feet wide by 90
feet deep, which appertans to the
premises Upon this a one-story addi-
ton--llghted through the roof (the
south limit Of the alley-way being bor-
dered by a four-story brick structure
which would exclude the side lighD-
which would afford ample additional
room for the postofilce needs for a
number Of years to come.
The cost Of such an addition. which
would not require a basement-the ex-
isting basement being sufficient
would hardly exceed $4,000.
Another improvement Is greatly need
cd for the comfort, convenience and
safety of the public. The present stone
platform In front OF the building
erected in the year 1860 is much too
small for the large number OF people
who now frequent the building. II is
also two feet lower than the floor of
the east lobby OF the building. to APP
proach which there are several short
high steps, which. in winter, are some
times unavodably covered with Ice
and difficult to ascend and descend
would recommend the raising of the
entire platform to the level OF the lob
by floor, eliminating the short, unpleas'
ant and dangerous steps, and placing
revolving doors al the north and south
| entrances, leaving the middle entrance
/ as II is, for those who prefer II to q
\ revolving door.
/ / should also recommend suitable fix
lures at the front Of the building fol
adequate lighting of the front OF The
premises. Il Is a singular fact that thu
government has never made provision
for such lighting-the only light upor
the building and steps being that Incl
/ tan n git ~ efp
lamps and business houses In the VI
/ clnity.
II Is estimated that such an elevat-
cd platform, with stone steps descend
! ing on the north, east and south sides
to the sub-platform and the sidewalk
would cost not exceeding $4,000 tina
the two revolving doors would require
possibly, 81 land two suitable lamps
not more than $500,
| would respectfully recommend anC
urge that an inspector be detailed t,
visit this building for the purpose O
examining the condition thereof in re
lation to the matters herein brought 4
your attentions and that he be in
structed to make such report and rec
ommendatIon as may appear to hin
just and proper.
