The street railway company is now
tackling the problem of making out
the new routes for the downtown
lines whose schedules are to be
changed on completion of the loops
which have been in course of con-
struction for some time. The route
for the old interurban cars has practi-
cally been decided upon, The cars will
go up Washington avenue to Fourth
avenue S, to Third street, to First ave-
nue. north, to Fifth street, to Second
avenue S, to Third street, to Fourth
avenue S, to Washington again. The
completion of the loops will do away
with te congestion of cars which al

AS an inducement for letter carriers
to secure registered letters on their
routes the postof1ce department at
Washington has decided to publish
every year the names of the five letter
carriers in the principal cities who
have secured the largest number of
registered letters during the year.
The Minneapolis letter carriers this
year are: George T. Glotfelter, resi-
dences 26, business 762, total S0S; H.
S.. Grogan, residence As, business IS;
John Hoban, residence 40; B. E. Mays,
residence 81, business IL; George
Murray, residence a., business 20.

letter carriers can take registered let
ters, and this plan is used to adver-
tise the scheme.
