RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Dependent on PassabIe Roads and
Accessible Mail Boxes.
Patron MS Should Clear Away the Snow
from Boxes, Says Department.

POstmaSterS at rural free delivery Of
fees have just received general orders
from the department at Washington
relative to the condition of roads over
which the rural routes run. Last win
ter. the rural carriers from the Angus
Ia office lost very few trips, on several
occasions making deliveries when it
seemed impossible, on starting, to do
so.
There mas been, however, some COM
plant that patrons do not keep their
mail boxes shovelled out so the carrier
may deliver into them without dis
mounting. This is required by the de-
partment, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing orders. Not only have some not
cleared their boxes so that a team may
be driven alongside but have not SHOW
elled ont at ALL SO that the carrier, who
delivers the mail as an accommodation,
net only has to dismount but also wade
in snow To his waist. This he is neither
paid for nor required to do. and those
who eXpect their mail delivered must
see that their boxes are kept accessible
to the carrier.
The orders referred to are as follows:
irons of the Rural Free Delivery SER
vice. who are receiving the benefits Of
the service to use their utmost person.
al endeavors. and also to exert their
influence with the road supervisors, or
with those officials who are responsible
for the condition of the highways, to
the end that the roads Travelled by ru-
raj carriers may be always kept open
and in such Dassable shane that the
service can be regularly and punctually
performed.
Should the regularity of the service
be needlessly destroyed as the result Of
inattention and lack of care bestowed
ON the highways, the permanent with
drawal of the delivery will very likely
result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes regularly at all sea-
sons of the year and in every kind of
weather when it can be done without
seriously imperiling their lives or en-
dangering their conveyances or the u.
S. mail which is in their custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts. so that carriers can drive up to
and reach boxes from their vehicles
without dismounGng.
1t is not part of the carriers duty
to break out the roads after severe
snow storms.
Rural carriers are expected to ener-
g"tically try to serve their routes even
though the conditions may be extreme
ly adverse. and any undue lack Of zeal
on tieir part should be promptly
brought to the attention of this Office
for such action as the merits of the
case require.
