Mail boxes are to be green. All let
ter boxes, mail-package boxes and the
posts supporting both classes of boxes
will be painted that hue. The paint will
be sent in bulk from Washington and
applied by painters selected by the local
post -nasters. This is in accordance with
the general scheme of the postoffice de-
partment to change the color of mail
boxes all over the country from alum
mum to green as fast as they need re-
painting. The aluminium paint has been
unsatisfactory. 1t was selected on the
theory that it would prevent the boxes
from rusting, but it has failed to do so.
A committee was appointed to select
new paint. After going into the subject
thoroughly and consulting officers of the
navy as to the best paint in use on trans
ports and war vessels. the committee
unanimously selected green.
