N n letter to Isidor Grosner, chair
man of tho executive committee Of the
citizens committee Of postal facilities
In the downtown section. by whom a
demand for . branch office in the old
postoffice building was recently made.
Mr.. Praeger today says that he cannot
recommend the ,re-establishment of the
station. as he does not feel that condi-
tions exist which would require n
classified station on Pennsylvania ave-
nuc such as the committee asked.
Doesn't Like Location.
While he adds that the time Is mot
ripe for such a move, the postmaster
says that were hs called upon to recon-
mend q site for a branch station In the
downtown section his duty to the pub
lie and to the postal service would re-
Quire that he recommend one farther
north and perhaps few blocks west Of
the Postoffice Department building.
Mr.. Praeger assures the merchants
that adequate service will be provided
for the Grand Army encampment

with q defense of Washingtons postal
service which he says has been offici-
ally criticised as more ample than that
furnished any other city Of the size in
