Special Columbus Correspondent.
Columbus, Ohio.
YT is being revealed here that the
postofice in Columbus and those
in many other Ohio cities are be-
coming too small to handle the
volume of business that has re-
suited from the operation OF the
parcel post. In the future, and prob
ably the very near future, plans will
have to be made for a general en-
1argement of postofice facilities.
Other states probably are experienc-
ing the same difficulty, but it has be-
come pronounced in Ohio early, be-
cause of the quickness of Ohio people
to take advantage of the parcel post
system. The announcement made by
the postmaster of Columbus that the
new postofice building, hardly two
years old, built at a cost Of $750,000,
is entirely too small to handle the In
crease in business, has been a stu
pendous surprise here. The general
public was led to believe when the
plans for the building were made that
it would be large enough to take care
of business for years to come. But
Postmaster Krumm goes so far as to
intimate that within very short
space of time Columbus may have to
have an entirely. new postoffice build
ing. He points out incidentally that
In the past the government has been
giving more consideration to beauty
and ornamentation in the erection of
its postofices than it has to space and
utility. The result is that a general
cramping of postoffices is confronting
the postal officials. The city Of Chi.

erected postoffice building that cost
Millions is now compelled to use the
structure which was used temporarily
while the new structure was being
erected.
