Edwin Hoyle and Thomas windle
have been appointed by the residents
of West Millbury to see if that nlace
cannot receive better mail facilities
Now it is claimed that the mails re-
ceived in that portion of the town are
always day or two late.
The system in vogue is to cart
the West Millbury mail at the MillbTrv
post office before it goes to that pIace
where formerly the place was supplied
with regular mail pouch going direct
to that Office. Mr.. Hoyle said to a re-
porter for The Spy, today, that under
the present system. the West MilIburv
mail going from that office to the Mill
bury office in the morning is late near
ly every day in the week for the trains
on account Of the sorting act, and the
mail does not leave town until after
noon, over four hours late
Mr. Hoyle and MIR. Windle both said
that it was impossible to do business
under these conditions, and they win
report to the United States postal au-
thorities at Washington. They do not
place any blame on A. Lepine the
driver of the West Millbury stage. who
carries the mail, but lay all hardness to
the system of sorting the mails at Mill
bury post office.
