FAIRFIELD BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD ]

R. H. Hickman, postmaster at Ems ley, and Mrs. Ada Burke, postmaster at Fairfield, held conference Wednesday morning in Fairfield rel the two offices. No statement was given out in connection with the matters under discussion.
 In this connection it was reported that the elimination of the over tapping delivery in Fairfield from the Ensley post office was discussed and that some developments in con nection with that service would be announced soon.
 The Ensley office at this time Is required to make deliveries in the city of Fairfield up to Forty first street, which territory was not taken from Ensley when Fairfield became municipality and later when the city was given carrier service. The Exchange club and other organiza- tions in Fairfield have requested that the territory be assigned to Fairfield and eliminate the necessity of the Ensley office making deliveries into a separate city altogether. This recommendation is in Washington and is being investigated it is stated. From all accounts the Ensley office wants to be freed of the territory and the Fairfield office is anxious
 
 able all around to have the territory assigned to the office where it is be- lieved it rightfully belongs. In the meantime residents of Fairfield who live in the old territory are forced to have their mail addressed to Ems ley, which is causing confusion.
