WILL NOT PAY POSTAGE.
Wisconsn's Rural Free Delivery Is
Defined.

AS the result of a correspondence
between r. R. Williams, editor Of the
Marsi1feld Times, and Edwin Madden
third assistant postmaster general, a
decision has been handed down by the
latter which means much to many
newspaper publishers in this state.
According to Mr. Williams interpre-
tation of the postal laws, he could find
mo reason why publisher should be
charged postage on mail delivered in
side the county by rural free delivery
carriers. a practice that has been in
vogue in the Marshffeld postoffice
since the rural free delivery system
was begun The question was the
cause of much argument with the re-
suit that the opinions and practices OF
postmasters at Wausau and other
cities were asked These were found
to be in keeping with the practice in
vogue in the Marshfield office. Not
content with this, Williams then di-
rected a letter to Mr.. Madden and his
answer will no doubt put to rest any
further controversy over the matter.
