STRONG FOR MODERN METHODS
Seeks Closer superintendent Of the
Mails and Asks Federal Authorities
to Make Provision for Extensions to
Provide Better Service

L
ing about a reorganization Of the
Kenosha postoffice and before he is in
Office three months he expects to make
considerable number of changes in
the Office These will be along the line
Of extension Of supervision with a
view Of getting the best possible re
suits in perfecting the service to the
Kenosha patrons. He has made a big
batch Of recommendations to the as
sistant postmaster general for i'm
provements in the local office and he
expects to be able to carry out the
plans made. Inspectors who went
over the Kenosha office have agreed
that the recommendations Of Mr. Cor
man are in keeping with the demands
of the best service to the people of
Kenosha.
just starting the work Of re-
organization the assistant postmaster
has moved his Office to the money or
der department. and he will be expect
ed to give much Of his time to the in
spection of this department. The
superintendent of the mails has been
given a desk in the main work room
of the office and he is to give all of
his time just to seeing that the mails
are kept moving and properly distri-
buted on reaching the Kenosha office.
Modern methods are sought for the Of
fee. Postmaster German has asked
for the permission of the government
to install another telephone in the Of
fee. He has also asked for large
appropriation for cleaning. The walls
Of the office are dingy and dirty and
he wants the government to provide
for a complete renovation of these
walls and a coat Of paint for the en-
tire interior of the building. He is
suggesting an enlargement of the
ianitor force in order to keep the
building clean after it has once been
cleaned up.
The Office paid the government a
profit of some $4,000 last year. says
Postmaster German Hand I can see no
reason why some of the profit should
not be used in keeping the office clean
er and in making it most inviting to
the people of Kenosha I want the
people to cooperate in keeping it
clean and with the help of the people
I feel certain that we can make the
postofice a lot better for every one
concerned. We are just getting start
ed in the reorganization and / plan to
have it effect all of the departments
before we get through. / have been
studying the carrier districts and per
haps we can work out plans for more
satisfactory service in these depart
ments We need more carriers and I
am going to ask the department to
furnish them. I can It give assurance
that they will be forthcoming, but [
believe that the department. will want
to be fair with the people of Kenosha
and they are entitled to more help
here. There are a lot of big things
and a lot Of little things that will i'm
prove the office and I can see no rea-
son why we should not have them. I
am not criticizing any work that has
been done BY the force and the trou-
bic has been lack Of equipment and
help. I am going to make an effort to
have both Of these deficiencies RENE
died. 1t will take three months and
probably a year to work into service
all the changes we have planned, but
we believe that when they are worked
in they will be Of great value"
