USE FOR OLD FEDERAL PARK Government Takes Over Plant at Harrison Har-rison for Air Mall Station Time Is Saved. A useful purpose finally has been .found for tho Newark Federal league park nt Harrison, now tho possession of the National and American leagues. Tho postmaster general bus asked tho permission of the major leagues to use tho field for tho New York to Washington Washing-ton air mall service. Tho leagues promptly gavo their consent. It Is the Intention of tho post office olllchils to hnvo tho air mall men drop tho New York mnll off nt the Harrison purk Instead of taking It to Belmont park la Long Island, as Is now being done. Tho mnll then can be pluced In the Hudson tube at the narrlson station sta-tion and. sent direct to the downtown post office. By using the Harrison ball park It is figured that tho air service between Now York and Washington will bo cut dawn fully half an hour. Tho government for somo time had been searching for n sultnble field much closer to Uio heart of New York than Belmont park. As much of tho mnll will bo delivered by air after tho war, It Is tho Intention of tho government govern-ment to erect quite an ulr statlou at'i the old Federal park.
