Chances of the Borough Securing
Free Delivery-Commencement
at the High School Tonight

Mr.. Atenunc, a representative of the
postal department, was in town yes
terday, looking over the conditions
here, preparatory to making a report
upon the advisability of establishing
free mail delivery in the borough. He
assures postmaster Bishop that he has
every reason to think ii will be pos
sble to put the plan in operation this
fall.
1t is not likely that the whole town
will be included at first. as he found
considerable fault about the lack of
sidewalks in some of the outlying sec
tions. 1t is thought that a force of
three carriers could cover Il large part
of the town, making two deliveries
and two collections daily.
