The first delivery to the down
town district Mr.. Zinky says, is now
made at about Z o'clock and reach
es most places before they are open
ed so that the stores will not be in
convenienced as the mail will be
reaching them just about opening
time.
As the dispatch of the postmen de-
ponds on the train time. a change in
their schedule would mean delay
in the mail of at least a half day.
The office force will go 10 work by
the old time and quit an hour late by
the clock. as their work too, depends
on the trains and the dispatch Of
the men.
A fear had been expressed that
the country and out of-tOwn trade
of the clothing and department
stores would suffer with the new
plan. but as their shopping is done
mostly in the morning, enabling
them to leave early in the evening.
the managers feel they will soon be-
come accustomed 70 the new time.
