SOME STATISTICS GIVEN meeting held by the citizens of Bright- wood last night, to visit the Postmaster General today and protest against the re- moval of the post office from Brightwood to Brightwood Park, did not see him to- day. Mr. Gary was attending a cabinet meeting when the committee visited the Post Office Department, and was referrod to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Eristoe. The matter comes under his juris- diction, as it is a fourth-class office which is under consideration. Gen. Bristoe heard the statement of the chairman of the committee in all its phases, and those of the delegation. When they had finished he told them that he investigate the on matter thoroughly and de- cide in favor of having the office at which of the two points under dispute would be most suited to the public and the patrons, after which the ¢ ed.

The meeting was called to or? about fifty persons present shor the time announced by Mr. J. A. I who requested that any s not in rmpathy with the object mecting should withdraw. A number citizens of the park thereupon arose and left the hall. On motion of Dr. Henry Darling, J. A. Lavender was made permanent ¢ man and Mr. N. B. Robinson secretary A lengthy set of resolutions was offered by Mr. Theodore Thomas, setting forth, among other reasons for the retention of Mr. Osborn, his wide popularity in the neighborhood and the fact of the office being located in “the only thorourhly equipped grocery and general store” in the vieinit Mr. W. H. Shryock objected to these resolutions, suggesting that the fight should be made entirely upon the removal of the office from Brightwood to Brightwood Park, as far removed, figuratively, as Ta- koma Park.

Clayton, an interested pa- tron, spoke very freely when giving his the opinion of the protest today. He said: “The request of the chairman oi the Brightwood citizens’ meeting held last night that all residents of Brightwood Park withdraw from the meeting, and their subsequent withdrawal, prevented a full answer to the protest of Brightwood citi- zens against the removal of the post office from Brightwood to Brightwood Park. “Brightwood consists of some dozen houses, widely separated,” he said, “a ho- tel, two stores and the post office.

The school children tramp through the mud in winter and the dust in summer of the public road to and from the public school, not enough public spirit and enterprise existing in Brightwood to secure a sidewalk for their use. “Five years ago one hundred acres of land was purchased by a syndicate adjoin- ing Brightwood on the south, and extend- ing along Brightwood avenue. Streets run- ning on the lines of the city streets were opened and graded, at an expenditure of $50,000; trees were planted, sidewalks laid, gas, water and sewer introduced, and to- day Brightwood Park contains over one hundred houses and three stores, with close to five hundred inhabitants. “Brightwood Park brought with it rapid transit, the establishment of an engine company, the introduction of water, sewer and gas. In short, whatever improvements have been made in the vicinity are due solely and entirely to the establishment of Brightwood Park. “Brightwood occupies the same relative position to Brightwood Park as George- town does to Washington, and now when the post office, following the tide of im- provements, is moved from Brightwood to Brightwood Park, charges of robbery and deceit are heard. “The greatest good to the greatest num- ber is a sound principal of government, and was applied in this case after a thor- ough examination of the matter by the post office au Beverages.
