II Keine Address I f BIG CHANGES URGED IN POSTOFFICE HERE Congressional Commission Crit icizes Entire System and Pro poses Improvements TUBES WOULD BE RESTORED paid te maintaining them In sanitary condition, and that the lessors be re quired te paint and renovate them. Empleyes should be required te be mere economical in the use of light. All station equipment should be standardized bv the Government and Issued by the Postefflce Department en requisition. It is recommended that the stations of the Philadelphia office be kept open for Mile of stamps and the rcftlsttralten of mail until 8 P. M. instend of 0 P. M., as at present, and until 0 P. M. for the Issue of money orders and postal saving business; windows at the station new known as carrier windows be utilised j parcel-pest business; stringent rules be enacted and enforced for keeping em em peoyes out of financial screens who are net assigned te duty therein; carriers net te be required te advance money they are charged te collect upon due matter. It Is recommended that carrier routes be established in the Second Street Sta tion te serve the territory In the vicinity thereof; during the hours for cnrrlcr- dellvery service at the different sta tions, collections be brought te the sta tion of origin, the cnncellcd and put through primary distribution; letters for local delivery within the station dis tricts te be delivered by the carriers. A MOTORLESB EDEN There Is one spot In Philadelphia where pedestrians have respite1 from the honk of meter horns. It Is n. place famous for Its beautiful scenery. Nature levers will enjoy readlnc about this place In the Maratlne Fectlen or the nunaay j-cblie isdess, "Make It a Habit." Adv. Many changes of far-reaching Im portance, including the building of a new postefflce, are recommended in a reorganization plan for the Philadelphia postal system by the joint congressional commission en postal service. Restoration of the pneumatic tube system, the decentralization of the col lection and distribution of mall and many ether changes are advised by the commission. The report which includes the recom mendations covers every phase of the handling of the Philadelphia mails. S'erieus conditions both with reference te the efficiency with which the mails arc handled here and the welfare of the empleyes of the Postefflce Department are revealed by the investigation which is the basis of the report. Severe criticism is visited upon con ditions In the Central Postefflce In the report. According te the commission the order for clean nnd orderly condi tions, Issued by former Postmaster Oenernl Hays, met with little response in Philadelphia. Congestion in Every Quarter "Throughout the Philadelphia of. flee," the report states, "In almost all the different departments and In the stations there Is evidence of a totel dis regard for these things thnt the Post master General held te be Important. In many of the rooms there are accumu latiens of old papers, records and books, most or wmen stiemu nave eccn dis posed of many months age as waste. The commission found congestion In nlmest every quarter. In order te meet the requirements of the service U was recommended that a new postal build ing of the factory type be procured, preferably en Mnrket street between Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets, te house the executive offices, including these of the Postmaster nnd his staff, and units of practically all ether postal activities. "A postefflce erected at the site In dicated would serve the huslncss com munity nnd afford the utmost facility obtainable In Philadelphia for the quick transportation of mails between post pest office nnd trains," mijs the report. Congestion In the present Central Postefflce was found te be se serious by the temnir-Mnn that such ndditlenal space as would be afforded by the erec tion of a postal annex and the exten sion of the mezzanine fleer recently con structed would net furnish adequate re lief. It presented n plan for ilrrtntral irlng the handling of 1.02S.000 pieces of firit-rless mail in nn nvctnge day by tlie deeleptncnt of dlsttlbutlun centers at the North Philadelphia: and West Philadelphia stations. It proposed that new quarters be obtained for the North Philadelphia station upon the expira tion of the lucent lease en December 1, 1923. Distribution Changes Proposed As pnrt of the program for the im provement of the mnli service the com mission recommended the negotiations for the restoration of the pncumntle tube service be begun. Senater Town send, of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Postefflce Committee, said this recommendation probably would be carried out In the next postefflce ap propriation bill coming before Congress. In reviewing the methods of collect ing nnd distributing malls, the report proposes methods by which savings can be made nnd better servlee obtained. The handling of registered mall, the report said, was net carried en with full regard te the rules of the department. Tlie survev of the method of handling money orders, the report snjs. "dis closes thnt much is left te chance." The commission recommended important changes in the cashier's office and pin posed n reorganization of the directory office. Conclusions nnd Recommendations Tim poiuluslens and recommenda tions of the commission are: The Philadelphia office Is the Ihlid in i .ink as te lecclpts among the cities of the I'nited States. Tlie main office is oercredcd, both In respect te postal activities and te the various rcdtrul burcnus occupy ing it. Satisfactory relief can be, found only in the erection of a new building. It Is recommended that n new building be irected. ptefeinbly en Market street be tween Sixteenth nnd Eighteenth streets, te be utilized for pestnl put poses ex- , elusivcly, this building te be either i owned or rented by the Government. It N recommended te accommodate ether Federal bureau", many of which I nil net new be accommodated in the ' IYilei.il Itiilldiug, that that part of the i building whldi at prcnt Is but one I story high be built up as many stories ns may be neccssnry. The new building or inucx should Inke the place of the Middle City h'a h'a tien of tli! Penn Square station, and of the Tw cut j -second stiect station, the combined rentals of which are $00, 000 per annum. The building should be vlitimlly et the factory tjpe. Fer temperarj relief, the extension of the mc.7uulnc fleer of the main office for postal purposes, recently made, is approved, and a further extension of it Is recommended. Temporary Rnilding Proposed Fer further tcmpeiarv lellef, it Is iciemmended that a temporary building be erected en the hind which Is available at the garage. As n means of relief te the crowded condition of the general Postefflce, de de ccntinllzntlen Is recommended. This decentralisatien would develop centrals nt North Philadelphia end West Philadelphia. The deliver) division should be further relieved by the utilization of the Second Stieet Station for a num ber of cairler assignments. Iteth the city delivery and mailing division would be relieved bv the North Philadelphia and West Philadelphia development". The Iiiqiilrj Deportment should be relieved h. deccntt alllug the disposi tion of undeliveiable- second-class nut ter, this mutter te be retained and disposed of at the stations. The condition of locker rooms and toilets at tlie main office are all bad and necessitate piempt nillen.
