1703 - L. Dec. 30; ed:2/2 - Among the improvements made by Postmaster
General Dennison, is an arrangement for through mail trains from New
York to Washington. The time of these trains is to be fixed, the num-
ber of cars on such trains limited, and these trains are to have the
right to the road in preference to all others.
The mails between Cincinnati and Chicago are to be carried by the
Chicago and Cincinnati railroad. "This arrangement will be of great
advantage to the public in both these cities."
These changes indicate the determination of the Postmaster General
to give the very best postal service possible to the public. He has
earned the thanks of the President and the people for the energy with
which he has pushed them forward, and for the pre-eminent ability which
he has displayed in the discharge of the duties of his high position. (11)
