URGES STREET CAR
MAIL COLLECTION
MIR. MCAIIiSter, the Inventor, !,
in This City to Have SyS-
TEN Installed Again

The taking of steps toward the revi-
val in this city of the street car postal
collection system, which was success
fully operated up to few months ago,
on the Delaware avenue car line, was
the object Of a visit made to the Of
fee of Postmaster NJ. Howard Jester,
this morning by the inventor of it,
George B. McAllister, of Washington,
ID. G. Mr. McAllister made the state
ment that he is now in Wilmington
witlfahe view of bringing about per-
manent arrangement of the kind In
the future. If It is possible to do so.
The inventor of the mail system said
that there is no apparent reason why
this advanced method of collecting
letters should not supercede the pres
ent slow one of corner mail box col
lection in Wilmington. II has been
tried here for more than a year and
had been found by both the Whining
ton postoffice officials and the street
railway people a thoroughly practi-
cal mail service. The particular car
collecting box, which was used has
been adopted by the federal govern
ment and everything, therefore, is in
readiness for a permanent installation
of the car boxes here. II the people
of Wilmington want them.
The cost of the service, Mr.. McAllis-
ter stated, would be a practically in
significant one for the government to
meet and even if II were a little In
excess of the present expenditure for
local mail collection, the government
would doubtless readily make conces-
sion to an exceptional public de-
mand for the new method. which has
already been in evidence in Whining
ton. This quick method of getting
their letters TO the postoffice SC
impressed the people of this city wher
It was tried here that hundreds OF
letters commencing It were sent tC
the postoffice department. Almost
every business house in Wilmington
subscribed to a petition for its per.
manent use and this popular feeling
i'm its favor was backed by the en-
dorsement of every local newspaper
of the board of trade and even OF the
mayor and city council of the city.
Certainly" said the inventor, "Wil
mington will not be so much in ad
vance of all other cities as to try ou
this radical postal improvement, ant
then permit it to be introduced else
where. 1t is doubtful if any ste
taken by the city could go much fur
ther 10 advertise its genuine pro
