week, for the benefit of the hundreds
of thousands of visitors to the National

meeting held last night in the Bright

Federation of Citizens Associations
bearing on the subject.
An improvement in the mail service
in the suburban sections was discussed.
Complaint was made that it is IL and
1880 o'clock each morning before mail
is delivered. This, it was said, was due
to the fact that all mail is sent to Ia
koma Park and delivered from that
station. Formerly mail was sent out
from Mount Pleasant, but with the re-
moVal of this Office to u street, mail
for points beyond Sauls subdivision
has been sent out to Takoma Park
