MOKE TV'S I I UU MORE HE Ali ISM, Edison The Post Office De-j partment in Washington, DC, is under pressure from township residents to establish an independent, central station with the name of Edison.

Also pressure is developing for a bank located near Route 27 and Plainfield Ave. and for the development of the Stelton station of the Pennsylvania Railroad for expanded commuter service. Population Growth Cited As one businessman in that area expressed it: "The west end of Edison is now a community with a larger population than either Highland Park or Metuchen. We are through with being considered the 'expansion area' for other municipalities and with being treated as 'second class citizens. We are going to keep on growing and will de estimated $120,000.

This station is only a half mile from the intersection of Route 27 and Pls-'n'Seld which is the heart of the Edison west end population area. Professor Frank Helyar, chair man of the Planning Board, has pointed out that an Edison post tion, which is a branch of the New Brunswick Post Office, a leter was sent to Washington demanding that construction of the new building be halted. It was to have been built on the lot at Plainfield Ave. and Woodbridge Ave. across from the Municipal Building.

Branch Offices Opposed Residents are demanding that mail be delivered from an independent station rather than through branch offices of stations in other municipalities with conflicting addresses. Only a small portion of the mail is handled through the Stelton and Menlo Park Post Offices, which are independent All the rest of the township is now-served from branches of post offices in New Brunswick, Me-tuchen, Perth Amboy or other office near this in4- -ection could be served directly by railroad at least four times daily without the need for taking mail to New Brunswick or Metuchen and then hauling it back again by truck for delivery. oDflrifly UilB IlDiWS miMflAIIM Others are working for a branch of the American Railway Express to be established here. also to improve parcel delivery, which now comes from other IB IF (fD flB ffi (DILdD 11 (B 2 municipalities on the fringes. centers outside of Edison.
