Rural Free Delivery.
W. G. Brigham, special agent of
the post office department, was in
town several days last week laying
out two proposed rural free delivery
routes. The routes contemplated
cover nearly all of the town and are
about twenty miles each. As the
agent does not wish the course of the
routes published until acted upon by
the department., we shall not give
them at present. We will state, how
ever, that the routes are well laid out
and that they accommodate about
two hundred families-one hundred
on each route. All along the line, the
Agent seys, the people are very en-
thusiastic and anxious for the es6ab-
lishment of the routes. 1t will be
midsummer before all the details are
completed and thecarriers appointed.
Six applicants for the position ofcar-
rier were examined by the Agent last
Saturday. They were: for Route No.
|, which covers about all the west
side of the town, R. 2. Putnam, Boyn-
ton Cheney, Lucius Noyes. For Route
No. 2, the east side of town: Palmer
Blake, Elbridge Holbrook and Nate
Cobleigh. The names are acted upon
by the civil service commission and
the two best qualified will be APP
pointed.
