THE GEORGETOWN POST OFFICE.
Nj. Edtor:-U nder the law as il now stands
We cannot have in Georgetown both a post
master and the free delivery by letter carriers,
present population does not exceed l.. 800. The
question 10 be decided, then. is whether il is
better to have postmaster Ujthom the free
delivery: on to have this convenience, in addi-
ton 10 all the other facilities We now enjoy,
without a postmaster. Ii is strange there
should he any difference OF opinion ON such a
vi Nldl 10 us II II lDN
master, II lrfth0Ut him we can have greater
postal facilities than we can have lcih him?
And that this viii be the case. if the proposed
change be made. We have been repeatedly
assured by the Postmaster General and his
subordinate officers. Our post Office would
remain Just as il is now. furnished with clerks
for the delivery of letters, for the sale OF
stamps and money orders and with private
boxes for those who prefer TO use them. All
that We should miss from the Office would be
the pleasant cOuntenance of our postmaster:
and. To compensate us for this loss We should
have our mails delivered at our doors free OF
cost or trouble, and letter boxes placed at con-
venient points on our streets to receive letters
and papers intended for the mail. Any COM
pIunfy N the United States would welcome
such a change as a great boon. and such,
assuredly, will be the case here.
