The Indications are not very good
for the establishment of the proposed
rural free delivery routes in this town
at present. 1t is given out from
Washington that on account of the
postal frauds now being investigated
the present free delivery system
is to be reduced in Vermont one fifth.
II that is the case, it will be well not
to expect any new routes established
for the present. We hope, however,
that it is nothing but a rumor, as
the routes contemplated in this town
are just as necessary as in other
towns.
