Wotice to Patrans of the Ghris- tiansted Ppst fffjoa EGINNING Saturday, 29th instant, B the mail heretofore carried by the s. s. Romanita from San Juan via Saint Thomas o Christiansted will be forward- ed by the s.s. Catherine on a cimilar schedale with the exception that the steamer will not eall at this port. The mail will be transported by land from Frederiksted and will in all probability often be received here as late as 5.0) p. m. for which reason only the first class matter \ill be distributed and delivered the same evening. Perishable matter received outside will also be delivered if called for before delivery is concluded. As usual it will be our aiim to give the best and most complete service and pub- lic cooperation will do mueh to aid this along the following lines: by securing postage s.amps, registration and money orders before the mai! arrives so that our attention shall not be aivided between d.stribution of mail and handline of routine work., ‘This of course applies only to when the mai! arrives before the closing hour on Saturday, as positively no other business will be attended to excent the disiribution and delivery of mail if it arrives after the closing hour. Requests for service not open to the gen: eral public wili not be granted indivi- duals as a matter of course, and they ¢re not_anticipated. The delivery of perish- able mail will invariably be made at the back of the office, but patrons are not admitted to the workroom. The Postal Laws torbid unauthorized persons being in the workrooms cos post offices when mail is being opened, and those who make it a practice of using the back en- irance to the oflice will kindly understand this. Clearly if one or two or more per- sons may be admitted 'nto the workroom and expedited there for their special convenience the whole public mav be admitted which would be manifestly irregular. The demand for service on Sunday morpning has reached the poirnt where it has become a burden to us and actually impairs efficiency in making ap the outzoing mail for which purpose we are 03 duty on Sunday wmoraing, and hereafter n» business whatever which calls for the immediate service of a clerk will be transacted, Thz2 mail bax at the enrance to the ofice 1s cleared latest 9.45 a. m. Sunday, and the drops inside to the moment th2 mail 1s actually dis- pa‘ched from the office. It will, there- fore, not be nee-ssary to inquire whether mail may be deposited 1o these drops. B. R.
