Regarding Rural Mail Boxes.

Postmaster Ledgerwood is in receipt
of the following advice from the Post
Office Department at Washington re-
garding the rural mail boxes. Special
attention is directed to that part of the
instructions in regard to persons tam.
pering with or destroying the mail
boxes.
l. Congress has not authorized the
Department to require the adoption of
any particular description of box for
use on Rural Free Delivery routes.
II. For the proper protection Of the
mails, the Department insists that the
boxes put up shall be secure and appro-
pirate and OF character to give protec-
ton from the weather and to be reason
ably proof against mischievous or nlalic-
ious interference. Metallic boxes are
deemed best for this purpose, and 1T is
desired, though not imperatively requir-
ed, that they should be of uniform make.
Ill. Such boxes, when put up with
the approval of the Postmaster General,
through his authorized agents, are re.
garded as falling under the protection
of section 5466, United States Revised
Statutes Section 1924 of the Postal Laws
and Regnlations), which provides that:
"Apy person who shall wilfuly or ma
liciously injure, defacc, or destroy any
mail matter deposited in any letter box,
pillar box, or other receptacle establish
ed by authority of the Postmaster Gen.
eral," shall be liable to fine of not
more than $500 and imprisonment for
not more than the years.
Nv. Postmasters are instructed to
call the attention of the United States
Attorney for the District to any yiola-
ton of this provision of law, and to aid
in the discovery and prosecution of the
offender Very respectfully,
