The Distribution Of the Intelligencer
in the City.
Mr., LEWIS N. LAYTON, who has for
several years delivered the INTELLIGEN.
GER to city subscribers, has resigned the
business, and We have arranged yySd
Messra r. Il, GILlEmY & co. take
charge Of II, beginning to.da. They
: will deliver tho papers psd collect the
dues therefor the samsas has been done
heretofore, with juSs ono change, which
an experience II several years has con.
WINGED us viii DO advantageous to sub.
scribor, collector and publisher; that Is,
that collections will DO made regularly
each ScGk, instead Of as heretofore. The
publication Of tho paper requires rcgu-
lar weekly cash expenditures; we require
weekly settlements Of MeGsrs. GnEEsPY
& Co.; and they in turn viii be obliged
to mako weekly collections from sub.
scribcrs. Our experience is that large
proportion Of our subscribers would rather
pay weekly than have tho bills run
longer. Others may think 1t an annoy.
ance to be called on weekly. If they
should find 1t so they may avoid 1t by
paying in advance for such period as
they may choose, as mail subscribers do.
The weekly collections arc very small in
individual cases, but in tho aggregate
they are important to the collector and
to ourselves, and we have found by expo
riencc that regular and prompt collcc.
tions are Indispensable to the successful
distribution Of paper by carriers. The
rule will DO rigidly adhered to, and we
trust 1t may not provo annoying to sin,
gle subscriber. Our patrons will soon
learn when to expect the collector aud
will really, we think, find ii little trouble
to be- prepared with the small sum re.
qnired each.wcek.
Inturning over now Leaf in tho matter
rofcollections, wecxpcct to make some i'm.
proyement.in that of delivery. No effort
will be spared to deliver tho paper with
initiating regularity and at the earlicstho
possible. So far as neglect Of carriers is
concerned, wehope to remedy that almost
entirely. To prevent the depredations Of
paper thieves (something we cannot guard
against) VIC suggest to patrons who have
not secure place where their papers may
be thrown, 10 provide box in a conven
lent location with an opening just large
enoughto put the paper in. This will
protect 1t from both thieves and weather.
As there may be some changes of car
riers, there may be irregularities for q fGw
days. If subscribers are missed, VIC
should like them TO report at once to this
Office, where missing copies will be sup
piled, and steps taken to prevent recur.
renee Of tho omission.
The accounts OF the new collector begin
to-day. All dues for papers delivered up
10 this time Should be paid to the former
collector, Mr. LAYTON; and both on his
account and our own, as there is a largo
sum outstanding, we trustsubscrihers will
be prepared when lie calls on them TO
clear up oil old scores and start off the
now year witli-r clean sheet.
o. Mr. LAYTON, Who gives up the dis.
trihution Mt his own request and through
no wish OF ours, VIC can say that in the
many years of his connection with our
business We have ever found him faithful
and assiduous. Our relations have been
pleasant and We believe our patrons have
found him, as we have, always correct in
business and courteous in intercourse.
whatever new fields he may in future
direct his energies, our best wishes gowith
him. iGt
Mr. K. Il. GnLEsPY, tho Ttluctpal OF
our new collecting agents, Is so !. well
known in tho city as hardly to need any
'5trodsction at our hands. Our patrons
will find him, We think, prompt correct,
courteous. We trust he may long sustain
to them and ourselves the relation upon
which he now enters. and that it may
prove pleasant md advantageous to all.
