SUNDAY OPENING QUESTION No Large Demand for Sunday Mail Expected at Branch Office and Practice May Be Discontinued at the Main Office Superintendent William T.

Waterhouse was present to receive W. S. Whittlesey, Assistant Postmaster, Crane and Superintendent of Carriers Joseph S. Vick when they called at the new Central avenue postotlice, which was opened to the public yesterday morning. The officials made an iuspection of the building and its equipment, and the Postmaster declared himself pleased with the accommodations that the New York Central has furnished.

The arrangements at the new station for Sunday delivery have been completed. Clerks stationed at two windows will call off the names of applicants to carriers stationed at the various cases. Handled in this manner, the delivery will be rapid. But a large Sunday demand is not expected at present. Until a canceling machine is installed.

W. T. WATERHOUSE. a very slight percentage of the city collections will be unloaded at the new office, Hand stamping obsolete and exis pensive. The machine is reported somewhere on the road.

The motor is ready to be installed and as soon as the machine arrives it will be a matter of a few hours to put it in operation. The Sunday opening of both the main office and the new station is a matter that is still receiving some attention. It has been decided at Schenectady that the office will be opened only to 1ransients who need the accommodation, not to permanent citizens. The Postmaster read section 264 of the general provisions relating to postoffices, to a reporter yesterday, as follows: "Where mail arrives on Sundays postoffices must be kept open for an hour or more for the delivery thereof, if the publie convenience requires it." "Does the public convenience require it asked Postmaster Whittleses. than 1 per cent.

of the population of this city uses the Sunday delivery facilities. That is not a very large number of people to make a rule for city. The average of calls at this office would not be more than 1.200 on Sunday, out of 220,000 people. The rest of the section. "If the mail is received during the time of public worship the office need not be opened till after the close of services.

Offices need not be opened on Sundays if 10 mails are received between the hour of elosing on Saturday and 6 P. M. Sunday." "As has been said, it is all a matter of habit." continued Mr. Whittlesey. "As you know we used to be open from 12 to 1 o'clock on Sunday.

Then we had a large number from the churches that surround us on every side. It became necessary to open from 9 to 10 o'clock in the morning, and that crowd no longer came near us. This would rather indicate that it was not matter of necessity, but a matter of "I have always been in favor of Sunday closing and would like to see it offected. It would not be opposed by the large business houses, as they do not send for their mail matter on Sunday. In the smaller businesses where the competition is severe it is to be supposed that attention to Sunday mail gets a few orders for a house in advance of rival house.

So call for Sunday mail. But if the office were closed to all alike it would hurt none, it seems to Superintendent James Connolly cave the new office about 81.000 worth of stamps as a starter, and money order blanks, Yesterday a considerable number of money orders was sold, and the foreign population of the district will make this business a large one as 80011 as it becomes accustomed to the place, REPORT OF CIVIL SERVICE WORK Municipal Commission Submits Statement to State Board.
