ance with the plan of reorganization
Initiated by the Post Office Department

by these reorganizations to the extent
of greater simp1idcation of the ma
chinery The difference between the
Washington and the other plants Is the
complete elimination of the position of
assistant postmaster in the Washington
plant. The keynote in the whole reor-
ganization scheme of the department,
affecting the finances is most per
feet check of every transaction, and for
this important work the scheme creates
the important position Of bookkeeper of
the department, who stands between
the postmaster and every fiscal detail

J. B. Corridor, superintendent of
finance; L. J. Robinson, bookkeeper: R.
H. Lovett, postal cashier; NJ. w. Ste

resulted in a few changes at stations, as
follows: Howard P. Springer. formerly

station A: Charles P. McCurdy. formerly
of the money order division. superintend-
ent of station G; George c. Bondurant.

1.-The greatest advantage in this re-
organization lies in the ability to give
a more efficient service in the handling
of the mails. II enables the same force
of men to be shifted from one emergency
to another. and thereby get on the trains

and later collections Of mail. and thereby
avoid delays through congestion. In the
same way it will enable a speedier dis
tribution. among patrons. Of the mail

advantages Of this new reorganization in
other cities that it was decided to inaugu-
rate it in time to properly handle the

Explanation Of Reorganization.
Details Of the reorganization and the
postmasters explanation Of the causes
for such reorganization are given as
follows in an. official statement issued
this morning by Postmaster Otto
Praeger:
beginning with the new quarter.
October 1. the Washington post Office
went under what is known as the two
division plan: that is, the entire oper-
alton of the post Office consists of two
branches of work. The handling of the
mails, including collection, delivery and
preparation for transportation. Is one.
and the sales Of stamps and all hnan-
cial work, together with the general
inside administrative work, is the sec
| ond branch. Heretofore the prepara-
tion of mail for sending out of town
was under the mailing division, the
preparation and delivery OF mail to the
citizens was under the delivery divi-
sion. and in addition to that there was
a third branch. consisting of the de-
livery and transportation of registered
matter. Each of these branches had a
, superintendent and complete separate
working staff, with hard and fixed
lines of duty that made it impossible to
give elasticity to the service by shift
ing men to the points of greatest need.
These three branches have now, under
the new arrangement been merged
into one elastic service, under q super
intendent Of mails. At the head of this
division Is W. H. Haycock, for some
years past in charge of the city deliv
cry work.
'"The administrative and fiscal affairs
OF the post Office, under the old sys-
TEN, was likewise comprised of three
executive branches. One was the as
sistant postmaster, having charge of
general executive details; the second
was the cashiers division. having
charge of the finances pure and simple,
and the third was the money order divi-
sion, dealing solely with money order
matters. These three branches have
been merged into one division, the su-
perintendent of which is ]. B. Corridor,
for some years past examiner of all the
postal stations in this city.

the fear of being discharged makes
it impossible for them to complain,
and that in some cases they are fore

hours. Last July. they were given a

Announcement Of Henry c. Sullivan for

After many friends have talked
with me and have said it was my
time, and having the desire within
me to assist in maintaining society
in the 32nd Judicial District, | have
it firmly fixed in my mind to make
the race for Commonwealth Attor-
ney. My life has been to have faith
In men, and work hard without fear
or favor; so, looking through the
eyes of that faith. l solicit the as
sistance of all, and rest my case in
the hands of the Democratic party
for nomination in August, 1915,
. My work for this section is known
to many, and while it has been my
JOY and pleasure to help develop
this section of the country in every
enterprise of my time, it has thus
far been without emolument, and in
a quiet, humble and unassuming
manner. and having arrived at the
age in life that / know the wishes
of the people, if this great trust is
imposed upon me there will be
faithful keeping of the same.
The greatest reason for believing
success will follow me is that love
everyone, and my natural inclina-
tions are in keeping with the politi-
cal views expressed by the leaders
of the day: justice to all men, high
and low alike.
