"They should have all mail faced in one direction with the stamps all in one This will save a great deal of handling otherwise each letter must be picked up separately and turned around or turned over and then separated before being cancelled.

the postaae is rated, and separated for countries, states, cities, counties and trains. "Just to show how big a job this Christmas mail business'is, if we get five letters or. more for any small city, anywhere in the United States, they are tied up in a separate bundle, the same being done for the larger concerns in any city. This takes a 1ft of sorting. The postal worker must know which way the next train is going and only prepare mail for that direction.

"We expect to get around 25,000 letters Monday alone, 35,000 Tuesday, 50,000 to 00,000 Wednesday and Thursday, 35,000 Friday and 20,000 Saturday. This is only what will be mailed locally.

'17. The Youghiogheny River flood control reservoir will cost approximately i $0,637,000, Lieutenant Colonel W. E. R. Covcll, head of the Pittsburgh division of United States Army engineers, said today.

He predicted that construction work would be launched within seven months on the $4,050,000 Loyalhanna River reservoir, the sixth major project in the proposed $100,000,000 flood control system on the Allegheny and Monongahela river watersheds. Colonel Covcll said his office already had started final detailed contract plans for the dam near Salisbury and bids probably would be sought in May, 1039. Covell added "if we get enough money" engineers might begin work next year on two other links in the flood control barriers, the $14,750,000 Concmaugh reservoir, also near Sallsburg, and the $6,637,000 Youghiogheny River Dam.
