A Great Many People Said to
Misunderstood.
The Department Now Has the Mat
ter Under Amusement at
Washington.
DECISION Is EXPECTED SOON

Washington, Dec. Sit appears
from many protests nof being re-
ceived at the postoffice department
that through misrepresentation or
misunderstanding an unwarranted
construction is bling placed upon
the department s action in ordering
that boxes of patrons on rural free
delivery routes be numbered. 1t is
being representa- to rural patrons
that the depa tment proposes TO have
them abandon the use of their names
and have all of their mail addressed
to them by box number only, which
was never intended or even suggest
ed
The purpose of having rural mail
boxes numben,d was to obviate
wrong delivery when substitutes
not familiar with the location of
patrons boxes were employed, and
in cases whe a number of families
or prisons of the same surname with
similar initials We're patrons of rural
free delivery at the same office.
For the purpose of aiding in the
correct delivery of mail matter on
rural routes, carriers are required
TO keep a roster of persons receiv-
ing mail on their routes, and by as
signing a number to the box in which
each patron receives mail a substL-
tute carrier can n-adily identify the
box of the patron even though he
may not have previously known the
residence of the patton or the looa-
tion of his box. Where thens are \
number of families of the same sur
name, by adopting their box number
as part of the address placed upon
their mail matter they insure a more
prompt and accu. ate delivery.
In connection with the numbering
OF rural mail boxes 1t was proposed
to extend to the patrons of rura
fres delivery the same privilege
now accorded to the box holders in
local postoffices, to-wit That mail
addressed to merely the number of a
box may be delivered TO the holder
thereof, so long as no Improper or
unlawful business is conducted in
that way. This matter. however.
has not been fully determined It
being under consideration by the
postmaster general in conjunction
with protests from business inter
ests which represent that such an
order gives to mail order business
an undue advantage and is a detri-
ment to local RETAIL business inter
ests.
