TO REGISTER LETTERS.
A Plan to Extend This Service to Pri-
yate Residences,

plan for the registration of mail matter
by letter carriers at the door of persons in
residential sections of large cities has just
been adopted by the third assistant post
master general. Mr.. &c. Madden, and gives
promise of great popularity.
The plan has been under consideration
for some time, and experts in the matter
of free delivery have been called into con-
sultation for the purpose of getting their
views Each one highly commended the
idea, which marks new era in the postal
service, and practically brings the post
office to the very door of the citizens.
The advantages of the plan to the public
generally will be quickly appreciated by
persons having valuable matter which they
desire TO send in the registered mail for
special protection. / VIII not only save
the citizens the car fare to and from the
post office, but will also make unnecessary
any loss of time in the dispatch of the
letter.
Briefly, all letter carriers in the resident
section will be provided with registry re-
ceipts and upon notice will promptly regis
ter any mail at hand. As soon as the plan
is in practical operation it will be extended
to the rural free delivery service, giving
the same benefits to the farmer, and later
it is hoped to further extend it to the bust
ness section Of cities.

L OCAL ms U r A N c E
Views of Those Not in Control of the Local
Companies.
The Opinion That Two Large Com.
panies Should Take Place of
the Existing Ones.

The recent practical completion of details
of the plan for merging the Lincoln and
Potomac Fire Insurance companies has
been noted with a good deal of interest by
insurance men in the city. There are
eleven other local companies in the Dis
trict, and of course, the officers and stock
holders have discussed the change just
made in Its various phases. In addition to
the strength which it is supposed will be
added by the increased capitalization, it is
the intention of the new company which
has thus been formed TO take advantage of
the privilege conferred by the charter of
the Potomac company and engage in out
side business.
This has already been done by one of
the local companies but rule the thir
teen concerns organized here confine their
operations to writing insurance on prop
erty within the District. Companies located
in other places throughout the country
represented here by agents and come in
competition with the local companies for
the local business.
1t is expected that the new company. or,
more correctly speaking, the Potomac Com
pany. with its stock Increased to s2OO,000
and the good Will of the Lincoln Company,
will reach out for what is known as for
eign business and have agents in other
cities besides continuing to look after local
risks.
The reason why this change, which is by
no means a radical one, Is being regarded
with more than usual interest by the repre-
sentatiVes of the other companies, is be-
cause of the opinion held by q number con-
nected with such local enterprises that the
future of the enterprises would be more
promising if the consolidation which has
included two Of the local companies be-
came more general.
1t is thought in the first place that there
are too many companies here for the BUSH
ness. and that the percentage of cost of
doing ii is greater than would be the case
if there We're only two large companies.
While those who hold this view are of the
opinion that the proposed merging of the
Potomac and the Lincoln companies is
step in the right direction it is concluded
that after all it is only a step. and the first
one at that.
1t is thought a company could do a more
effective business in the general insurance
field with a capital of at least a half a
million, and for this reason those interest
ed think if four more of the local COM
panies We're added to the Potomac Lincoln
combination, with a capitalization of about
a half a million, and another company
formed by uniting the remaining local con-
Germs having the same amount Of capital,
hat the position of the insurance COM
panies would be much improved. How
ever, those in control of the local COM
panies do not entertain this view, and IN
consequence, there IS little prospect that a
practical test will be made of these ideas
in the near future.
