station is a possibility of the future is
Ace clerks. This belief is borne out by
an order from the postal authorities at
lance between the post office and the
station.
The order asks for the air line dis
lance. The distance from the mailing
platform of the federal building to the
receiving platform of the station is
also asked. The air line measurement
will be taken from the nearest corner
of the federal building to the central
part of the station.
Postmaster Haas has been requested
to send the information to Washing
ton as soon as possible. The order
contained no inkling of the informa-
ton desired, but Postmaster Haas says
he would not be surprised if it meant
the installation of the tube system.
A dispatch from Washington recent
ly stated that the next step in promot-
ing the efficiency of the postal depart
ment would be the adoption of the
pneumatic service. If the system is
adopted it will mean the discontinue
ance of the wagon now used to carry
the mails.
