Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1903-11-17

washington, NOV. li-DoleSoIo ""
Congress B. S. Rodey has succeeded in
inducing the postofice department 10
inaugurate free delivery OF mall az
Santa Fe. The decision was reached
on November II, after it had been
turned down twice owing to the poor
street lighting, incomplete house num-
bering and lack of paved streets at
Santa Fe. 1t will take several months
to inaugurate the service, and 1T may
be February 1 or even March /, before
the examinations for letter carriers are
and list of eligibles placed
in the hands of the civil service COM
mission. If at the end of six months
or a year, the postal receipts OF the
Santa Fe office do not keep above $l0,-
LvO per annum, the city may have
trouble in holding the free delivery
system, but considering the way that
Santa Fe is growing, there is very lit
tie likelihood of that contingency aris-
ing.
