New system of Registration.

Postmaster Hugh Browne has
been notified that Wilmington is to
have the new system of letter regis
tration. 1t is proposed that house
holders shall be enabled to register
letters at their doors. AS soon as
arrangements are made the system
will be put into effect. Postmaster
Browne says the carriers are not
permitted to spend more time in the
registration of a letter than is abb
solutely necessary for them to write
the receipt and promptly deliver the
letter to the main office or carrier
station. While they are required
at all times to be courteous and re-
spectful to patrons, they are posi-
lively forbidden to engage in dis
cussion. A glance will tell if
letter is properly prepared for reg
