The Bronx Board of Trade publicly protests that mer- chants in thet borough are handicapped in their business and made to saffer serious loss because of the slow handling of mail addressed to or sent from tnat section of the Greater City. Complaint is made that the Bronx gets letters mailed from outside New York a dey later than other boroughs and that a letter mailed in the Bronx at noon is often not delivered in Manhattan until the next day. Pneumatic tube and motor wagon mail service have not been extended to the Bronx. It has as yet no separate post office, and ite mail is distributed through the General Post Office in Manhattan. A section numbering 700,000 residents, business men and workers ought to have as up to date a postal service as any part of the city. New York has a lot to do to bring the distribution and delivery of mail, particularly city letters, up to metropolitan standards. We are a long way behind London, where a letter mailed at one end of the city can be delivered within two hours at the other. But while Manhattan strives by better organization and efficient methods to improve its postal facilities, there is no reason why the young giant of the boroughs should remain at « disadvantage for lack of pneumatic mail tubes and a distributing centre above the Harlem Biver. ed Dollars and Sense By H.
