OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS.
OAKvILLE PEOPLE NOTIFIED OF ADDITIONAL MAIL SERVICE.

Petition Sent to Washington Receives Quick Attention-A Noon Mail Will General Order-Factories Will Bene- fit by It.
 Oakville is to have the additional mail service which has been needed so long. Through the efforts of the Evening Democrat ip circulating a De tition to the general superintendent of railway mail service at Washington. D. C., and the influence exercised from different sources the authorities at the capital were quick to accede to the wishes of Oakville citizens, all of which will receive due appreciation. The information arrived yesterday lE an official letter and the reports ln pamphlet form read as follows:
 Washington, D. O., Oct IA, 'O1.
 Respectfully returned to citizens or Oakville, Ct, inviting attention to the statement of Superintendent Ryan, in- Gicating that the additional service will be established as desired.
 JAMES H. WHITE,
 General Superintendent"
 Boston, Mass, Oct II, '01.
  James E. White. general superinten- dent railway mail service. The addi- tional mail desired to Waterbury. Conn, by the 12:51 D. m. train, leaving Oakyille. will be established in our next general order.
 "EDWARD J. RYAN,
 "Superintendent." The next general order will be is sued within few weeks,a at which Finle Postmaster Douglass will be officially notified of the new outgoing mail and will conduct the affairs of the ofhce accordingly. At the present time Oak vile has but two outgoing mails each week day, these balls being insuffi- cient and inadequate to meet the de mands of the people. The present out going mails are T:49 a. m. and 5:4i T. m.. and as a consequence letter dropped in the postoffice, no matter how important it's nature, if later than ' :49 in the morning, lies in the office all day until 5:41 in the evening. Such a condition of affairs in the local mall service consequently caused much dis satisfaction and the new outgoing mail will place the village on the same rating with Watertown. The village has experienced a rapid growth in tue past few years and the progresslvenas ass and thrift of its industries have been marked with. ever increasing prosper ity. The Oakville Pin Go, the Baird Machine Co, Seymour Smith < Sons, Leslie Warner, the hair pin manufac- turer, all will appreciate the improved mail service. and there is hardly citi- zen who will not have the opportunity to use the new mail on different occa- sions It will make little more work for the postoffice and extra duty for Carrier Place. but his remuneration will very likely be increased accord ingly.
