Uptown Express Office?

A petition is being circulated in

Referring to this, a business
man said:
ffSeventy-fve per cent Of the
express matter handled here is
composed of cabbage and pro
Lduce shipped3d during the summer
and which must be handled at
the depot
The present location of the
Office is already convenient to a
large part of the town. AS it
would not be reasonable to ask
the express company to main
tain two Offices in a town of this
size, if the Office were moved up
it would simply be rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul. 1t
would be more convenient for a
partof the town and less so for
another part.
Most of the express received
here is now delivered by the COM
pany. 1t could easily be arrang-
ed for the wagon to make col

merchants hanging out a sign,
to be furnished by the express
company, when they have a
