A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

Another Door at the Post Office,
Would Relieve Congestion There
On numerous occasions the Bul-
+ letin has made mention of the fact
that on frequent occasions there is
quite a congestion of people at the |
postoffice ‘and everybody that was |
around this busy little hive of indus- |
try on Christmas morning, could get |
an excellent idea of the conditions.
People must move both ways in a
narrow aisle on the east side of the
office and then dodge a big writing
lesk at that. Why not adopt a little
ystem and keep careless ones from
Imost crushing children as well as
dults.
Our frequent suggestion was veri-
ed on Monday. Cut down the win-
yw directly opposite the call box win
yw, making a door out of it. Then
| the traffic will move one way—in
e east front door, to the general
livery and call box wickets and out
s rear side door. The lock box and
ney order patrons could use the
er front door.
Jn Monday there was such a crowd
and jamming in the post office
} is was impossible to get out the
it way and in order to relieve con
ditions, some one opened. the year
window (which should be a door) and
out came such men as John Béam-
esderfer, Amos Newcomer and ¢thers
Let some one make a New Year's
| resolution and make this improve-
| ment.

The Inquest
The Conestoga Traction Company
was censured at the inquest held Fri-
day night in the office of Dr. J. J.
Newpher, into the death of William
Michael, who died that morning in
the General Hospital, as a result of
injuries. The jury that presided at
the inquest found that the crew of
the car that hit Michael was not to
be held responsible for the death.
However, they did take occasion to
score the Traction Company for per-
mitting their employes to allow in-
toxicated persons to ride on their
car and then eject them at isolated
places along the road. The place
where Michael is said to have been
ejected, because he could not pay
his fare, is within a short distance of
the railroad tracks.
The jury found that Michael's
death resulted from injuries received
by being struck by car No. 32 on the
Mount Joy, Elizabethtown and Lan-
caster street railway. Michael's body |
was badly mutilated when. removed
