FREE DELIVERY IN SIGHT,"
Our Contemporary Is Straining Himself q
title tn Misrenrnsent lie

Our Contemporary Is Straining Himself a
Little to Misrepresent Us.
In our issue of December 15, we
headed an article of ours, "Free De
livery in Sight" and followed it with
remarks on the amount of mail mat
ter handled at the Grand Rapids post
office during the month of November,
1898. In that article we said, ''if the
cities should consolidate (meaning
Grand Rapids and Centralia) the busi-
ness done at both offices would almost
warrant free delivery" From his own
showing of receipts in both offices
for 1898, of SIS, 6,620.55 or nearly 81, 900. 0C
in round numbers, we were certainly
warranted in saying that eff the two
cities consolidated the business done
would almost warrant free delivery
There certainly is no deception or
misrepresentation" in that state
ment. BY his own figures, Free
Delivery" is in sight, if the two cities
consolidate. He admits when he says:
''We can also state from a general
knowledge of the situation, that each
office has increased it's gross receipts
about $500 during the past year, or a
total increase in the two offices of
5000. Taking the statement of our
contemporary that it requires a buSi-
ness at the rate of $4,000 per year to
secure free delivery, it would require,
at the present rate of increase, Just
about five years to reach the coveted
goal
Let US accept his time-five years
the free delivery is in sight just the
same. Suppose it does take five years
that is 80 killing thing or any reason
why we should not consolidate. We
believe however that free delivery
would be in sight in less than three
years if the cities will consolidate
because the general increase at the
post office will increase more in 1899
than it did in 1898. At least present
indications point that way.
We emphatically object to Mr..
Brundage charging us with "misrep-
reSentation" upon SO slight a preteXt.
We are in favor of consolidation but
not to that degree that we would mis-
represent any gain or loss to either
municipality. In union there is
strength and everything to gain and
if the councils of the two cities will
give the people an opportunity to
express their wishes it will carry in
both places. Why? Because all the
people of both cities will be benefited
by the consolidation
