NEW YORK TO HAVE
BIG MAIL SYSTEM
M-:V YlHtK, IVI. 13. P.mtiiKisl.T
General Meyer's visit tu this city was
productive of the appointment of a
commission to consider the congest ion
in the New York nmtol"t'ic mid dovisi
means for relieving it :ind of :i state
ment from the post mast it amoral of
1 i h purpose to make tins city's facilities
for handling mail unsurpassed in the
world.
At n conference pari ui paled in by
Mr. Meyer and departmental off ieinls
from Washington with Postmaster Mor
gan and his staff t aides were pre
sented showing that the mail matter
handled at the Xew York posloffice for
n given si x motil lm weighed 1"! ,;t."il ,
766 pounds, of which o.Itli.'i.U is pounds
wan local business. The mail matter
handled in 'hicago and Philadelphia
together during the same period weigh
ed S1H.32.1J 19 pounds
The Xew York post office single-handed
took care of nearly m; much mail as
nil these states and territories put to
get her: .Alabama, Arizona. ( 'aliforuia.
Georgia, Indian Territory, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland. M issii-sippi. Ne
vada, Xew Mexico. North Carolina. Ok
lahoma, South Carolina. Tennessee, Tex
as, T'tah. Virginia ami West Virginia.
"My purpose,', raid Mr. Meyer, "is
to formulate a plan so t hat t he bun
dling af the mail in X'ew York city
will not be surpassed by any city in
the world. Such a plan will also proe
of benefit to the other cities in the
United States, because eventually they
will have to ndpt similar methods;
but this being the great center, it is
important and neeesary that we get
it established here on th" best possible
basis. ' '
