 FREE DELIVERY AND GOOD
 ROADS.
 Colonel Albert A. Pope, the bicycle manufacturer, has suggested to Post master General Smith that in the ex tension of the rural free delivery sys- tenn the appropriation depend on the condition of the roads. His letter to MT. Smith is as follows:
 "The experiments of the postoffice de- pertinent in the matter of free delivery for rural districts have from the outset interested me, and I am glad to know that the success of this undertaking has been sufficient to warrant material in- crease in the appropriation for this ser vice. May I be permitted to suggest that, in my opinion, greater good can be accomplished by eonfining such de- liveries to regions having proper roads, or, in other words, make the appropria- tion depend on the condition of the roads. This would act as an incentive for towns and counties to bid for free delivery by material improvement in their highways, and result in a benefit to your department by the increased ease and, therefore, lessened expense of these deliveries. '"The work already accomplished by the Massachusetts highway commission Is of inestimable value, not so much for the amount of highways constructed by them as for the education thus given to towns and outlying districts in the proper building and maintenance of roads. '"The importance of highway inn provements was never more keenly em- phasized than by your trial of free post al deliveries and by the use of motor l vehicles for suburban and country ser vice"
