Special Correspondence OF The Star.

| Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, August 26, 1912
Alexandrians after September l next
will be unable to obtain mail at the city
post office delivery Sundays. That office
will be closed and the only mail which
will be delivered will be special delivery
letters.
. Persons who have lock boxes cannot
receive their mail Sundays, for the mail
will not be placed in them that day. In
addition, the general delivery and car
riers' window will be closed and the car
riers will not be on duty.
Notice to this effect has been received
by the local post Office authorities, under
the post office appropriation act for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1913. which
provides: THAT hereafter post offices of
the first and second classes shall not be
open Sundays for the purpose of deliver
ing mail to the general public. but this
provision shall not prevent the prompt
delivery of special delivery mail
This new order. it is claimed. will work
a hardship on the travelling public, and
also OH the renters of boxes at the city
post office. most of whom have heretofore
obtained their mail on Sunday.
More than year ago the general de-
livery window. together with the car
riers' windows at the city post office, We're
closed Sundays. and there was no de-
livery of mail that day to the general
public. The transient people however,
were able to obtain their letters at the
general delivery window, while local peo-
pie could obtain mail at the same window
by the payment of a special delivery fee
of 10 cents for each letter obtained.
Renters of boxes at the city post ofnce
were not. however. affected by the change.
and many afterward rented boxes for the
purpose of being accommodated on Sun
day.
The new order does not meet with the
approval of many of the box renters.
Nevertheless, it will be enforced.
