vision has been handed down by the latter

livered inside the county by rural 1ree delivery
carriers, a practice that has been In vogue IN
the Marshfeld postoffce since the free rural
delivery system begun. The question was
the cause of much argument with the result
that the opinions and practices of postmasters
at Wausau and other cities wer asked their
views. These were found to be in keeping
with the practice in vogue in the Marshfield Of
ice. Not content with this, Williams then
directed letter to Mr.. Madden and his answer
vii lno doubt put to rest any further contro-
iversy the matter. 1t means big saving to
publishers who have been subjected to like con
ditions. The letter is as follows:
