postal authorities to the complaints
against the service in the city of Will

the establishment of the new federal

writes that years ago he had three
deliveries day. and without notice a
few years ago one delivery was dis
pensed with, while now, with the new
building within a few blocks of his
residence, he receives the same serv-
ice that a rural route is getting. one
delivery per day.
One cause of complaint, which is
voiced by all complainants. is the To-
cation of the federal building, the site
being selected and the building erected
by the, treasury department.

ised to take the matter up with the
