In the nations history. Secretary OF the

ton, superintendent OF deliveries and coli
iections, speeding up the system.
EXPECT BIG PROTEST.
A storm OF protest is expected by the
postal department, which, however, ls
determined to make its reorganization
OF the postoffice complete along the lines
OF efficiency. The move abolishing tho
pneumatic tubes has been anticipated by
advocates OF the present system, and
many petitions have been and are being
presented to Washington for the reten-
ton OF the tubes AZ the same time tho
special postal committee, which held sit
ungs here the latter part OF September,
mas. not yet made public its report TO
Postmaster General Burleson. although IL
Is believed here that the report has been
made.
The change will transform the Phila-
delphia postofice from the most anti
quated In the country to one of the best"
said postal official today. This talk OF
retrogression when the tubes are dlscon-
tinued is bosh. There is no retrogression
when efficiency is galned-when we speed
up the system and save money stimuli
taneously. Time Will show that Il is
the pneumatic tube system that is archaic
and cumbersome. 1t is the system that
requires the entire time OF a force OF
clerks at an expenditure Of $4,000 a year
TO sort out letters that will go into the
tube from letters that are too large to be
sent through the tube"
TO SAVE $4,000.
How the t2OoOOO annually would be
saved from the 5000, 600 total yearly ex-
pendlture of the Philadelphia PostoHlce
was explained.
Taking a concrete example. the Gov
ant Nl, Ffz..- IA
Company $4,000 annually for the tubes
connecting the central postoffice with the
Bourse station, the Southwark station,
at 10th street and Washington avenue,
and the 18th and Christian streets sta
tion. Because the tubes cannot handle
all classes of mail-only letters of the
conventional size-a force of clerks,
whose salaries annually aggregate Sl4,O 900.
is necessary to sort the mail
The ordinary sized letters are sent
through the tubes once an hour, from n.
m. to p. m, at a total cost of $31, 900 n
year. The larger envelopes and packages
are sent by trolley and automobile. Un-
der the new system one automobile, f~t-
ing 1920 annually and driven by 5000
a-year chauffeur, can not only carry all
the mall including packages, but can
make the round trip in so minutes, from
a m. to 10 p. m. This is a saving of
S27,S00 annually, with a gain in speed i'm
these three stations alone.
To collect and deliver the Germantown
and Chestnut Hill districts mail costs
100000 year under the old system. BY
abolishing the trolley mail cars and pneu-
matte tubes a saving of $4,000 and a gain
in time will be realized.
The 10 motortrucks which, It was off,
cially announced by Postmaster Thornt oa
yesterday, have been ordered to supplant
the trolley cars will cost 5000 annually
for maintenance. as against $oS,OOO charged
by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com.

COUNCILS PLACE CITY
AT CREDITORS MERCY
Refusal to Provide Cash for
Necessary Supplies Costly,
Says Mayor

Contractors will be asked to make
donations to the city. according to Mayor
Blankenburg, unless Councils come TO the
rescue of the Department Of Supplies.
This drastic action will follow unless
funds are provided for the many neces-
sary items OF expense for which no
adeaate provision was made the first of
the year.
The items for coal In the Bureaus of
Water and Of Correction, for forage In the
Bureas OF Health and Charities and
Police, and for clothing and drugs In the
Bureau Of Health and Charities, have
been exhausted and there are no funds
Many other items win be exhausted
within few weeks and the department
Will be unable to purchase supplies unless
funds are Immediately provided.
Not only will n serious financial loss
result from further delay, according TO
Mayor Blankenburg, but II may become
necessary to purchase goods on the
donation plan. The Mayor has called
attention TO the fact that the donation
plan Is not only in violation of law and
business principles, but leaves the de-
partment entirely, at the mercy OF con-
tractors. Rigid inspection is impossible
and rejection OF goods is out of the
question. The donation system not only
eliminates proper competition. but makes
It necessary for the contractors to have
Councils pass a special enabling ordi-
nance for the payment for goods deliv-
cred to the city under the plan.
Referring to the donation system in a
recent message to Councils, Mayor
Blankenburg said: .' ..
This administration has been endeav-
oring to change this most pernicious sys-
TEN, not only because It results in a loss
of the taxpayers money, but also be-
cause 1t is iagrantly loose way OF con-
Quoting city business II my earnest re-
quest for funds is not complied with,
citizens and taxpayers of Philadelphia
will know where to place the blame. 1
am exhausting my power by making
this repeated earnest request for busi-
ness methods in the administration of
the city's affairs"
Already the Water Bureau has made
arrangements to obtain coal on "dona-
tions." Coal supplies at Belmont. Queen
Lane, Shawmont, Torresdale. Lardner's
Point and Roxborough will be exhausted
by the end Of this month or the middle
of November.
