the post offices Of each particular class. AS
starter Uncle Sam is going to erect and
equip what may be designated a model post
Office and which will be used pattern for
all the post Offices to be provided henceforth
throughout the country. This model post Office
will be located at the national capital and 1t Is
designed to be model not only in its mail
handling equipment, but also In the furniture,
the arrangement of the various rooms and
in the architecture of the building itself and the
selection of a site so located with reference to
the railroad terminals that 1t will facilitate the
handling of the incoming and outgoing mails
This last Is point to which the average citizen
seldom gives thought and yet It means that
II his post Office Is located too far from the rail-
road stations through which the mails dis
patched there will be unnecessary lengthening
of the time required to convey a letter between
any two points.
So anxious has been the postmaster general to
have the scheme for better post offices worked
out just right that he some time ago appointed
special committee composed of men high in the
postal service to prepare the plans for model
post Office This body of experts has been busy
for months past perfecting every detail. The
committee includes the first assistant postmaster
general, the superintendent Of mails at Chicago
(which city already has pretty weequpped
post of1ce), the superintendent of delivery at
New York. representative of the architects. the
postmaster at Washington, ID. c., and the assist
ant superintendent in charge of the handling OF
the foreign mails going out from the port OF
New York One another of these men Is
competent to give advice as authority on
every important operation connected with the
handling of mail at post Office
