tion is soon -to bo placed in operation.
Within the next two or three months a
change will be introduced In the St. Louts
I'ost Office system. Most of the actual
work of the main Post Office will be trans
ferred from the Custom-house to the new
annex. Union Station.
A large proportion of the mall handlers
and distributers from both the mailing
dUl.sion and the city division, now work
ing at the main office, will be transferred
to the new annex.
These divisions will occupy the first and
second floors. The registry division will
hae a large department upon the third

Below the first floor, on a level with the
subway, will be the shipping lobby. Ele
vators will convey the malls to and from
the shipping lobby to the different floors.
When a mall train arrives in St. Lou's
the mall car will be stopped over the ele

l-,e thrown on elevators and lowered Into
the subway. It will then be rlaced on
trucks and wheeled Into the shipping

as possible will be centralized in the new
Post-Offlce building. Collections will be
taken from the scattered boxes and de
posited in those along the lines of the
street railway postal cars. All cars will
run to the new station.

stands in Union Market advising them
that stands on the curb line must be dis
continued after May 1, except between 5

not desire the renewal of his right of oc
cupancy and the stand will bo rented to
whoever desires to take It at the same
price that was formerly paid.
"The regulations of the municipal code
should hac been enforced before, and it
has now become imperative that the
curbs be kept free for the use of pedes
trians, owing to the crowded condition of
the city. No boxes or bags of vegetables
or fruit will be permitted on the curb,
except between tho receiving hours of 5
and 10 a. m.
"The rental of the stalls for the next
six months from May 1. will not be re
duced, but those renting stands at that
time will be given preference over others
at the semiannual Icttlngs. This notifi
cation Is elven ninety days in advance
so that any one who may so desire will
have ample time to make arrangements
for another locatjon in caso the terms
fixed for the Icttlngs In the Union Market
are not deemed satisfactory."
