MOTOR CAR DELIVERIES.
Rural Carriers Permitted to Use Them
in Their Work,

Bicycles, motor cycles and automobiles
may be put to new use. The Post Office
Department has been watching carefully
the developments along these lines with a
view TO determining the feasibility of the
utilization of these conveyances In the DOS
tai service of the country Where the
roads are in good enough condition rural
carriers have for some months been per-
mitted from time to time to experiment
with them in the delivering Of mails.
The result OF these experiments hereto
fore has demonstrated that owing to vary
ing conditions of roads, physical aspects of
country, unbridged streams, defective
mechanism in the construction of automo-
bies and ignorance of rural carriers in their
operation, automobiles could not be relied
upon for use In that service. For these
reasons, which also apply to motor cycles
the department has been compelled to de-
cline to permit rural carriers to regularly
use automobiles and motor cycles while
serving their routes.
Recent consideration, based upon repre-
sentation to the department of the manu-
facture OF an auto car that will be guaran-
teed to overcome the defects cited has
caused the approval by Postmaster General
Cortelyou of a recommendation of Fourth
Assistant DeGraw sanctioning the use, upon
request, of such vehicles, where the roads
are maintained in good condition and the
physical aspects of the country are favor
able to their use, but the department will
reserve the right to require rural carriers
TO discontinue the use of such vehicles and
assume the service of their routes in the
ordinary vehicles prescribed by the regula-
tons, If complaint is made of the unsatis-
factory service arising from the use of au-
tOmobiles.
Rural carriers are required to maintain a
fixed schedule in serving their routes and
TO serve the boxes of their patrons at or
about the same time each day in order that
patrons having money-order business or
other postal business necessitating a per-
sonal interview with the carrier may know
at about what time to expect the carrier.
Owing to the greater speed which could be
maintained by carriers by the use of auto
mobiles II would be necessary to effect
changes In carriers schedules, and If from
any cause arising such carriers could not
serve their routes in their automobiles,
which would necessitate the serving of the
routes in the carriers ordinary vehicles,
thus disarranging the schedules and -eaus-
ing complaints from patrons 1t would be
necessary that they abandon the use of
automobiles and continue service in their
ordinary vehicles, the maintenance of a
practically unvarying schedule being essen
tial to the proper operation of the rural de-
livery service.

The little tug Bartholdi which ran ashore
on the old piling at the mouth of the Alex
andra and Georgetown canal above Alex
andria, Wednesday, was foated at high
water. early yesterday morning and re-
turned to this city. 1t is stated that the
vessel is but little injured by going ashore,
and will be able to make her regular trips
on the river Sunday. The river men have
several times asked that a buoy be placed
SO as to mark these submerged piles that
have within the past year or two caught
a half dozen small boats and badly in
iured them, The piles. except at very low
water are entirely hidden from sight,
while fifteen or twenty feet nearer the
shore they showing. This leads per-
sons not fully acquainted with the river to
suppose that deep water exists close to
the showing piles and in running close to
them the boats are caught on the sub
merged stumps and are damaged badly be-
fore they foated.

charges for continuing to use the buildings
will be fled against Mr.. Nelson every day.
and that Mr.. Nelson must appear In court
daily to answer them.
In explanation il was stated that the
sheds were in violation Of the building reg
ulatfons and that the law imposed a PEN
atty Tor every day that they were allowed
to remain In their places, and that con-
sequently there was a violation of the law
for every day that they remained. The
buildings are at 1872 Tth street southeast.

junction against the District to prevent the

greet expressed that the society had found
1t advisable to abandon the Ilans made Tor
last season. and IT was stated that there
seemed to be a good prospect of active work
being resumed next season with larger
choir than formerly.
There was considerable discussion of the
matter of finances, and a resolution was
unanimously adopted declaring the sense of
the meeting that 1t would be highly desir-
able if the leading local musical organiza-
tons could be financed in combination and
under the same management. The board

the management of the orchestra and of
the Choral Society.
