Plan for foreign mail branch near piers
Postmaster Van Cott proposes renting a West Street building near major steamship piers to handle foreign mails separately. A Washington commission will assess feasibility. Benefits include faster foreign mail delivery and relieving congestion at the main Post Office. He notes near Pier Christopherst ferries and nearby rail links to expedite processing. He cannot estimate exact time saved due to steamship arrivals. He also rejects claims that the National Commercial and Industrial League funds campaigns.
