GREAT MAIL INCREASE.

The local post Office is literally
swamped with the amount Of mail
that is being handled there these days.
The incoming mails are running ex-
ceedingly heavy, but the outgoing mail
exceeds that coming in. The
present clerical force is kept busy ev-
cry minute Of the working day and
even then can hardly get the outgoing
mails despatched and the incoming
mails distributed in the hours laid
down for work.
This situation is one which shows
the need Of the new federal building
which has been promised for Pleasant
Vile. With mails now in excess Of
those handled al Christmas time, con
coded generally TO be the busiest time
of the year for post Office employees,
there is shown the need Of an expan-
sion of the postal service here, both
in the way of additional clerks and
carriers and more floor space to facili-
tate the handling of mail matter.
