MAIL ON SUNDAY.
Rural Mail Superintendent Makes important
Decision.

The acting general superintendent
Of the rural mail system has handed
down a decision which will be of
interest to all people on the free rural
routes.
The decision was brought about by
the patrons of a rural route in Illinois
who called at the postot1ice on Sunday
and called for the mail. They were
informed by the postmaster it was not
his business to deliver rural mail at
the windows of the Gttice on Sunday.
The matter, however, was taken up
by the patrons of the rural routes,
and the superintendent Of the system
answered the complaint thus:
"When patrons Of rural routes call
at their poStotliceS for their mail dur
ing the hours the poStOfficeS are
regularly open to the public for trans
action Of business it should be
delivered to them. Patrons are not
required to rent boxes in order to
obtain this service"
The ruling will have the effect of
notifying all postmasters Of their
duty toward rural route patrons, as
it applies to all postotticeS in the
country.
