POSTMASTER SMITH
TfMrs man Mr.. Smith said Yesterday:
u hfrk the chances OF securing. for Man
A..tsr an efficient free delivery system are
- for two reasons. First. because the Re-
s~hf,sn party IS progressive. and. second.
f.srss there is an imperative demand for
I've force in order % render 10 the public an
.Nasrt service IS IS contemplated by the
S..rsster-General The appointment of
49,. ..rr.ers would relieve the post0ifce
t~rf.ne of a rush that occurs daily IN the
..-r.ur and evening, and popularzo tho
+s service by rendering 1t eff

If TINES man saw several of the most
e-omirent business men OF the city. who ex-
fre,s themselves thoughly IN sympathy with
tbs move and are ready 10 lend their inhu-
euce and assistance 20 any movement which
will iu-.ler tine interests OF the people and
ths good u tie city.
BIZ Horace $ Bradley superintendent
CITY wstsr works said: II am heartily in favor
a. sn3m sympathy with the free delivery
move Manchester is entitled 20 and should
hayet Count on me Tor any assistance ia
Jaige Henry Ingram. of the lqstings
court "lf course Manchester should have
free delivery Her population entities her
t0ii and ben people should demand It. Such
ags.tI IS greatly needed. and trust you will
De- u.c ssiul in securing it."
I1-MayoI Joln j. Taylor. "Menchester and
i -lCse are the two most progressive places
IN the State. These places at least should
have sA the modern cOnveniences SO that pe0-
pie who i've 10 these WlGe-aWake towns might
ENJOY Oh the advantages possible. ! think II
should have big public building as well as
airee delivery and Manchester certainly de-
serves o. lsye both. taking int consideration
Ler great growth IN population and values
Deputy uted States Marshal McIapgh-
jim VI think there are two reasons why Man
chester should have the benefit of q free de
livery FIRST. that the patrons OF the Office
ore very largely composed u working people
whose employment precludes them from
applying at the lostoilce during postOiiice
hours for their mail. Secondly. that the
pupu.lti0n0 OF Manchester lGs increased within
the past SIX months SD largely as to place the
city greatly above the 10000 limit observed In
similar Applications ] know OF nothing in
which an act Of mere Justice would be more
heartily and gratefully received by the
people
