10 the distances between offices In the
country on star routes!
2. Suppose there are already two offices

apart. and between them there - large

the convenience of the people IN general
or noty claim that offices can be had at
anu place, provided the people are bone
ftod particularly thereby. Some say offices
cannot be less than two miles apart:
W. II. b.
The conditions surrounding each case
have much to do with the action of the
Post-Ofice Department IN establishing
Offices. There is no law with reference TO
the distance which shall intervene be-
tween offices. There is general rule
which IS followed as closely as NAV be,
and yet is not by any means arbitrary,
10 the effect that no two Offices shall be
established within shorter distance than
two miles Of each other. Should there be
river or any othor natural obstruction
between an Office III operation and the site
Of one 20 I've established, the department
often dcviates from tho rule and takes
favorable action where tine distance is less
than two miles. As 10 the third question,

Offices are established for the convenience
Of the people There is no other reason
sufficient to warrant their establishment
