C0eD ROADS AND RURAL NAILS

1t is announced that the government
will look more carefully to the en-
forcement of the rule regarding the
roads over which rural free delivery
is established. The present REQUIRE
ments are: Roads traversed shall
be kept in good condition and unob-
structed by gates; there must be NO
unbridged creeks or streams not
fordable at any season of the year."
In many cases the residents along
proposed routes have made improve
ments that enable them to obtain ru-
raj delivery service, but sometimes
the efforts to keep up the roads are
relaxed. But the government has de-
clded that unless the roads travelled
by the carriers are properly main
tanned. the service will be withdrawn.
The pcstoffice department now calls
on the carriers for reports on the
roads, and will stop the service where
the highways in question are bad.
The 35,973 rural delivery carriers
now employed cover S63,363 miles
daily and it is unreasonable to expect
them to contend with neglected roads,
or to work for communities lacking
the enterprise to keep their common
highways in shape. Wherever
route is discontinued the inhabitants
themselves will be to blame for it. for
If alive to their own interest and their
duty to the public they would give
their roads vigorous and constant at
tention.. The idea that a route once
organized is necessarily permanent is
a mistake. Advice en- the best road
method is supplied by the agricultural
department, and neighborhood that
loses its rural delivery must itself
bear the discredit for so unpleasant
an event.
