The government mail agent was at
Norway Saturday on an investigation OF
the change OF mail service from the Nor
way Branch X. X. to the electric street
cars. IL seems that the change WAS
made to save the department S75 per
year. IL further appeared that no con-
tract has ever existed between the de-
p,rtment and the G. T. X. for the
delivery Of the mails from South Paris
to Norway. o. NJ. Cummings, mail
messenger, has contracted with the de-
partment and sub-let to the Norway
Branch which Is not allowed by the pos
tai regulations. Another objection made
by the department, IL, that In addition
20 the saving Of $75 per year, the
mail messenger can throw up his con-
tract upon giving thirty days notice OF
his intention so to do. The G. 7. X.
are under no obligation to carry the
mail and will not do so because Of the
fact that they would have to pay much
more for the delivery Of mails from the
Norway station to the post Office than
they would receive for the service. The
ch .nge was msde for the sole purpose OF
saving s75, and upon Recommendation
Of the agent for transportation.
