WHO HAMPERS WITH
The MAIL BOXES?
Heavy Penalty Provided for Those
Found Guilty--The Opened
by Mistake fiend.

Postmaster Lemon states that he has
received complaint. from carriers and
owners of the boxes used in the house
to house delivery of tampering with the
mechanism by men and boys and also
the fact that circulars and advertising
matter are left in them, necessitating
extra work on the part of the carriers
and delaying the delivery of mail. The
postmaster states that a heavy penalty
awaits the culprit found tampering with
the service should he be caught and
proven guilty.
Another matter the local office has to
contend with is the taking of mail by
people who have names similar, but for
whom it is plain it was never intended,
and who open the same and thrust
back with the words "opened by mis-
take written thereon, but who have
not the courtesy to add their name. He
proposes to call some of the latter class
to account for their infraction of a postal
law. The penalty is severe for the will
full breaking of sealed letters, a habit
that some people getting mail at the
North Yakima postoffice have acquired.
