years ago. the quarters were adequate
but there. was. even at that time. little,
IL any, unused space Since the cstab-
lishmcnt OF the parcel post, together
with the natural growth of business

INSPECTORS OUTLINE
e.. VIEWS on PROBLEM
In brief. the reasons for rejecting
the plan to build on the site adjoining
the present quarters. as set forth by
lows:
Because Of lack of space in the in
coming mail division. parcel post and
other mall is piled In the aisles. where
1t is unavoidably trampled upon by
the employees and, because OF the lack
Of facilities for handling, there are
delays in its distribution. In the pres
ent building there is no available
space for bins or additional tables
either in the incoming or the out
going branches. and the mailing cases
are too crowded. The parcels post car
rierS handle their mail on the floor in
the aisles.
The workroom does not afford sur
fcient space for the supervising of
ficers. and plans are being looked into
with the view of cutting off a portion
Of the lobby, and utilizing il for work
room space. The Terminal Railway
post office has quarters in crowded
improperly lighted and poorly venti-
lated rooms in the basement, and af-
fords unfit working space. and IL will
probably be necessary, within q short

SEVERAL SITES WOULD

There are several sites In Eich-aond

as convenient for the patrons OF the
ofiicc, and fully, II not more, economical,
from the standpoint OF mail handling
than the present site. and which would
give sufficient space, and could be Sc
cured NJ cost considerably less than
the amount authorized for the purchase
or the additional siXty-foot lot adjoin
Ing the present building
All Offices in the present building
arc occupied, and some are crowded
ana quarters are rented in the Office
! buildings in the city to provide accom-
modations for officials not provided for
in the government building. the annual
amount Of such rentals being In the
neighborhood of $4,000. In addition to
this. it Will, as stated. probably be
necessary in the near future TO provide
rented quarters for the terminal rail
way post-office, which important
branch OF the service it will not be
possible to provide with suitable quar-
ters in the present building. 1t has
been estimated that suitable accomno-
dations for this office will cost about
$500 per annum
Were new site to be acquired and
new building erected for post officc
purposes only, all OF these officials for
whom rent Is now being paid In out
side office buildings. together with the
terminal railways post-office and gen
eral parcel post would find adequate
and convenient accommodations therein
The amount paid for service between
the present Dost-o!iice and the sta
tons is now considerable, and by wait
ing until the union station is located
Il very large expense could be obvlatcd
should Il new pos;-oiiice site and build
ing be authorized and located near the
new station.
