j. b. Adams has received the contract
for carrying the mail on Sundays at his
bid OF $50 per year. Some time ago a
strong petition was signed here addressed
to the second assistant postmaster general
for an establishment OF a Sunday service
from Randolph to Randolph Center at a
price Of 500 per year which petition was
entrusted to Congressman Haskins with
instructions to have the route established |
at $50 for carrier or not at all. 1t was es-
but on pro rata basis whereby |
the carrier would get about ga per year
and il was talked that such action was |
final and in accordance with custom. But |
proper representations were made and |
sent to Senator Dillingham;, who went to
the second assistant and, with proper ex-
PLANTATION, the route was called a new
route and thrown open to bids with the |
result as above. Does anyone say that |
Senator Dillingham; has no influence |
there?
