The city Postofice authorities propose
to move Station c from G street, near
Fifteenth northwest, to some point in

before the Postoffice Department, and the
proposition may be rejected by the Post
master General
Some objection is apt to develop among
business men who have become accus-
toned to the present site and have found
it very convenient. 1t is probable that a
protest will be filed In due time.
Lack of room is given as the reason for
the proposed removal. J. B. Corridor,
who is acting postmaster during the alb
sence OF Postmaster Otto Praeger, said
yesterday: The principal reason Is that
we need more lobby room to relieve the
congestion at the present place. The pub
lie now have to, walk up several steps and
frequently squeeze through a narrow.
crowded entrance and then only to find
congestion inside But the matter has
not been definitely decided
II is understood that the postmaster has
another building in view. but the exact
location was withheld.
