NEW RURAL DELIVERY.

Addison and Rutland Counties to Have
This New Departure.
Edward F. Hutches of Urbana, O.,
special rural free delivery agent of the
postoffice department, was in West Rut-
land Friday completing arrangements
for the establishment of rural delivery
from the postoffice there through Mid
dletown Springs and the town of Ira,
says the Herald. The new delivery will
60 into effect Sept. Is, and it will take
the place of the old Ira star route. The
carrier will leave West Rutland at 8
o'clock in the morning and cover the
route of 20 miles in about six hours.
After leaving the West Rutland post
Office he will drive down Marble street
and the Clarendon Springs road to the
Clarendon Springs postoffice, leaving
pouch of mail there and taking another
pouch for the central office. He will
then double on his route to the Ira
road and drive straight to the Ira post
office, where he will deposit and carry
away pouch of mail as before. His
route then lays south on the Ira road to
the home of William Cramton, thence
over the "Church'' road to the Flower"
road, and then northwest on the
Flower" road to its intersection with
Marble street.
People who wish to get their mail
through the free delivery must place
box beside the road in front of their
house, or, if they live on a cross-road,
they must have a box at the nearest
crossing on the main road. The new
West Rutland delivery will cover is
square miles and serve about 700 people.
Mr.. Hutches has Just established rural
delivery from the Vergennes postoffice
through Addison village and expects
soon to put in several more in this state.
A petition was circulated last March
and sent to Washington, which was
signed by about 100, asking for free
delivery over nearly the route now
mapped out in Addison. Mr.. Hutches
was taken over the route by S. w.
Elmer, one of the petitioners. II. w.
Spooner and son, Harry w. Spooner,
have been appointed carriers. The Ver-
gennes Vermonter says ithey will leave
there every morning at 8 80 Immediately
after the sorting of the mail and pro-
ceed on the stage road to the BridpOrt
line and then take short cross road to
the mountain road, which they will
follow until the advent church is
reached. Then another cross road is
taken to the postoffice, where they will
deliver pouch and also receive pouch.
The carrier will then return to the
church and proceed on the mountain
road past H. w. Spooner's and will
come out at the brick school house
This will make route of 20 miles. Thi:
