l.. A. Thompson Rural Route In
spector, was out over what will be
known as Route l, which runs east to
the county line, on Monday and
found fair road twenty-six miles in
length going and coming, with a list
OF lO5 families to be supplied. He
goes out again this week and may
make few alterations from the route
as it is now mapped out. This will
be popular route for the patrons,
but will take from Audubon and add
to this office some business as some
who get their mail through that office
will have it transferred to this office
and then it will be taken over the
line. The inspector holds an exami-
nation Wednesday of this week for
the aspirants for the carrying privi-
lege there being three who are
anxious for the privilege. 1t will be
a month or longer before the decision
can be reached both as to the allow
ance OF the route and as to who the
successful man will be. The sigma
lures are all in for Route 2 leading
west and southwest from here, which
If secured as now petitioned for will
only supply seventy-six farmers the
length of route being nineteen miles.
Efforts are being made to have the
Inspector go over it while here so
that when the time comes to act his
recommend can be used to advantage
at once. AS soon as the routes as
permanently located are plated we
will endeavor to give the ENACT loca-
tion of the route.
