San Antonio Post Office Plans for Greater Facilities Growth
San Antonio post office reports record business for 1915 surpassing $400,000 and outlines New Year aims. A Congress bill seeks appropriation for building improvements as crowding and parcel overflow push expansion. Centralization plans would take over nearby depots and extend rural routes, with eight new staff added and distribution shifted to Galveston. The 1915 quarterly totals show a rise over 1914, projecting annual gains near $403,000.
