WALTER w. WHITMAN
TO SUCCEED HIMSELF
AS POSTMASTER
Concluded from Page One.)


Finding that the floor space at
the Washington avenue and Main
street station was much too small
to handle tie increasing mail cir
culation OF the Mainland, the post
office, on recommendation OF Mr..
Whitman and tho postal inspectors,
was moved to its present site on w.
Jersey avenue near Main street.
Tho new headquarters were ofti-
cially possessed on Dec. I, 1925,
and the first Christmas mail was
handled there just year ago.
The postal business in this city
has increased to very large pro-
position since Mr. Whitman has
taken office The steady growth of
the Mainland has made it neces
sary to add to the post office force
from time to time. =
Mr. Whitman was also unfortun-
ate early in his term when he lost
two of his most valued helpers III
the office. Assistant Postmaster
Joseph Ingersoll, and Frank
Rcinmyer, clerk and later a carrier.
Both died shortly after Mr.. Whit
man had taken charge Of the
office.
While in Office, Mr. Whitman
has:
More than doubled the number
of street letter boxes in service,
having added Is new boxes.
Added one additional regular
clerk to the Office force.
Added two additional regular
City carriers TO the force. and one
additional regular rural carrier, Civ
ing the office a total of three rural
routes, and adding delivery service
to approximately 1000 people. Sc
cured regular city delivery for the
entire Fox tract, and all outlying
districts of the city, including the
colored sections.
Established Sunday and holiday
collections Of mail from all street
letter boxes. thus assuring the dis
patching OF this mail approximately
tWenty-four hours earlier than was
formerly the case, when no collcc-
lions were made on Sundays or
holidays. Secured extra allowance
for the delivery of parcel post,
thereby allowing the carrier to
make rally cleanups.
Established, upon removal to
the present quarters, nightly open
ing of the lobby until o'clock, Civ
ing the box holders opportunity to
secure their mail two hours after
closing of the postollice. The lobby
formerly was closed at $50 p. III.
While lobby formerly remained clos
cd all day sunday, IT Is now open
from 8 a. III. to $50 p. M, for the
convenience OF box holders. The
lobby is also kept open from a.
IN. to $50 p. IN. on holidays.
Recently had substitute clerk al
lowance increased to properly han
die the window work at the Post
Office.
