MEMPHIS NAY BECOME
BIGGEST MAIL DISTRIBUTING
POINT IN DIXIE STATES

II plans now being considered by the
railway mail service of the postoffice
department run true to form, Memphis
win become one of the largest mail dis
tributing points south of the Mason
Dixon line. Plans now under consider
alton call for establishment Of a United
States railway postoffice terminal here.
The plans were formulated at a meet
ing held this week by officers of both
the railway mail service and the Illinois
central railroad. The railroad officials
also have under consideration plans to
furnish the buildings, which will include
the erection OF a large building on
land owned by them at this time or the
remodeling of one which will be used
Tor the proposed terminal
me conference held this week is the
elimination of an attempt to interest
some corporation in the establishing Of
the proposed terminal and thereby re-
iiteve the strain on the mail situation
here. 1t was said Friday that the plan
had first been presented to the Union
station company, but that it was un-
able to provide the proper facilities. 1t
was tnen taken up with the Illinois
j. S. Morris, chief clerk of the United
states railway mail service with head
quarters in the postoffice here, said
frludy that he did not know when the
plan OF the, department and the rail-
road would be put into effect, but was
sure that 1t would not be very long.
The establishment of the department
here will greatly improve the conditions
in Memphis regarding handling of the
mails and will speed up deliveries to
many points throughout the country
by several hours. 1t is said that be-
tween 100 and $50 mail clerks will be
employed in the terminal
Transit mails, which have heretofore
and at present are being handled
through the DeSoto station, will be sent
through the terminal. Mails leaving
over roads other than those entering
the Central station will be handled BY
plan.
A definite announcement as to the
decision of the railroad company will
probably be made within the next two
weeks, it is said, as the matter Is now
before the high officials of the line.
