President Andrew Jackson Lays Out Treasury and Post Office Reforms
In his annual message President Andrew Jackson calls for streamlined contracts with railroads, safer mail security, and a unified coast survey. He urges Congress to fix fee standards, curb postmaster power, and consider a new building near executive offices. He also addresses weights and measures, retrospectives, and recommends a dedicated board or Navy Board to oversee key operations. He closes with gratitude to citizens and a call for constitutional amendment to change presidential succession. The note ends with the death of Gen. L. Kinnard aboard the Florida and funeral tributes in Cincinnati.
