As was suggested in the Caller sny-
eral days ago, there will be no dis-
continuance of the mall service ou the
Brownsville road between this elty
and Robstown. The order discontinu-
ing the service will be suspended
pending a final adjustment.
The following telegram was receiv-
ed this morning:
Washington, April 80.
Roy Miller, Corpus Christi. Texas:
Your wire received; the postoffloe
department has agreed to suspend the
order discontinuing mail from Corpus
Christi tx Robstown until the sttua-
t'on can be fully Investigated and
satisfactory arrangements made for
proper mall service,
John N, Garner.
The message was In answer to a
telegram sent by Secretary Miller of
the Couunerrclal Club lata Wednesday
afternoon. The secretary had taken
the matter up with Superintendent
Gaines of Fort Worth, That official
seated that he was trying to got In
touch with Vice-President and Gen-
eral Manager Miller of the Browns-
ville road and that he hoped that
there would bo an adjustment of the
mall (luestlou. It was Indicated, how-
ever, that while there waa every
probability of a satisfactory adjust-
ment that thlM adjustment would not
be made prior to May 2, the time set
for the discontinuance of the service,
in order to prevent a discontinuance
pending the adjustment Secretary
Miller wired Congressman Garner.
The message above Is the result,
It I safe to say that the service
will not be Interfered with. It la
very probable that the postal officials
will reach a settlement. Meantime
tho mall service will continue.
