TERMINAL s ABOLITION TO
LESSEN CITY's PRESTIGE
Only One Between Philadci-
phia and Atlanta.
ORDER EFFECTIVE JANUARY I
Effort to Reduce Importance OF Same
Terminal Last Year Caused Cham
her of Commerce to Enlist Help
of Virginia Senators.

The abolition OF tho Richmond parcel
post terminal on January |, according
to post office men who discussed yes
tcrday the departments order to this
effect, will materially lessen Richmond's
Importance as a postal center. 1t Will
no longer be one OF the twenty-five
or thirty parcel post terminals in the
country. with its abolition there will
be no terminal between Philadelphia
and Atlanta. where II large one Is
hourishing.
The nine men employed In tn. Rich
mond terminal will y" either trans
fcrred back To the lines whence they
came or be placed in the post office
here. Some of them. it was sur Sestcd
yesterday. will probably have To tc
put on the substitute list.
TERMINAL ESTABLISHED
IN NOVEMBER. 1914
The local terminal was established
in November. 1914. as one of eighty
situated in the larger centers OF the
country. In establishing these termi-
mails it was the object OF the Post
Office Department to concentrate at the
points selected large quantities of par
Gel post matter for the purpose OF cf-
fecting prompter distribution ana
dispatch Of both this matter and cir
cUlar mail
Al the Richmond terminal. now about
To be abolished, there is concentrated
and distributed parcel post matter for
Virginia and North Carolina sent here
from the East. North and West, and all
parcel post matter originating in the
city OF Richmond or brought into tho
city by the various lines centcrinS
here.
In addition, the local terminal is the
repository for all circular matter for
the State of North Carolina from all
parts of tn. country except from the
States south of here. After January l.
no parcel post matter will he sent here
from any source for concentration, dis
tribution and dispatch. and the clrcu-
lar matter for North Carolina will be
sent TO some other terminal for dis
tribution. The Richmond post office
will work its own parcel post matter
us it works its other mail.
According to local post-oflicc men.
the Richmond terminal has yielded the
parcel post system the best service
possible. its distribution and Gispatch
being equal to the distribution and dis
patch given f.st-claSS matter. 1t is
understood that the abolition of the
local parcel post terminal is i'm con-
formity with a retrcnchment plan that
is being prosecuted by the department
on national scale.
An effort several months ago to d.
miniSh the Importance of the Richmond
parcel post terminal by the withdrawal
of the circular matter for North Caro-
lima aroused the opposition OF the
Chamber of Commerce. At the instance
of this body, Senators Swanson and
Martin took Il hand with the result
that the order directing the reduction
OF the local terminal was rescinded.
Tho proposal now TO abolish the ter
minal entirely has so far caused no
similar activity on the chambers part.
