New Postal Regulation Make star Routes
Free Delivery Routc..
A new provision vii be placed in
the contracts about to be made with
star route mail carriers which will
practically convert these routes into
rural delivery routes. All star route
carriers will hereafter be required to
deliver mail to patrons living on or
near the route who will provide suit
able boxes for the reception of the
matter. The territory in which the
new provision applies comprises prac-
tically all of thu states west OF the
Missouri river. Hawaii and Alaska.
According to the new orders pa
irons may provide boxes. handbags or
satchels to the postal authorities.
These will he used to protect the mail
matter while II is being delivered. In
case the handbags are used a post on
which to hang them must be furnished
and put n position by the patron. The
service liz limited to those persons liv-
ing outside the corporate limits OF a
town and not within eighty rods of a
postoffice. All this must be done with
out expense to the government further
than the increased pay given to the
carrier. The receptacles for receiving
the mail must be on the road trav-
eled by the carrier.
II was formerly the custom In many
communities to hire the carrier to per-
form this service for those who were
willing to pay for II. The new order
will furnish the same service with
practically no expense to the patron.
