Indianapolis Office Will Probably Be U. S. Postal Supply Depot.

Indianapolis will probably become a subdepot for the United States Postoffice Department, according to local postoffice officials. The third assistant postmaster general has written to the Indianapolis office asking how much .fldor is available in the local office for storage of stamped envelopes and postal cards. A reply sent yesterday to Washington, D. C. stated that four car loads of supplies can be taken care of in the Federal Building. Stamped envelopes are among the bulkiest of office supplies, according to members of the Indianapolis mail handling force, and the Federal government finds it necessary as times to open subdepots for the storage of these and postal cards. This is the second time the Indianapolis office has become a storage place for large quantities of such matter. Three million stamped Envelopes or about one days supply for the United States, comprises a car load, and with the postal cards Which will come there for storage, four car loads will be the shipment. This consignment will be sent out to offices principally throughout the central states, although during the last storage in Indianapolis a great deal of the supply was first sent to this office, then shipped back to Eastern cities.
