RURAL NAIL CARRIERS
NAY NOT SOLICIT
New Ediet Prohibits Them From Re
csiving Orders Of Any Kind while
on Duty-Eot Prevented From
Carrying Express Paroles.

wAsHrSerox, March s.-Rural let
ter carriers will not be permitted 70
solicit business or receive orders Of
anyk kind while on duty. Many requests
have been received By Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General De GraE that
the privilege Of taking subscriptions
for newspapers be restored to the ru-
raj carriers. When rural free delivery
was in its infancy the carriers were
allowed. In Tradition to doing an express
package business, to solicit subscrip-
lions for newspapers and other publ
cations In this way they we're en-
sbled 20 increase their income.
Abuses sprang up, however, and .
law vas enacted requiring that on and
after July !, 1904, rural carriers shall
not solicit business or receive orders
Of any kind for any person, firm or
corporation In response 70 the re-
quests now being sent 70 the depart
ment, the following order was issued
to-day:
nUnder this provision u law rural
carriers are not permitted 70 solicit
business or receive ordese Of any kind
including subscriptions for newspaper
The department considers this a WIS.,
provision. II being contrary 70 good
policy for an employe Of the Gov
eminent, 10 connection with bis oficia,
duties, to be acting IS an agent OF |
private enterprise TO the disadyAn
tage OF a competitor. 1t is also deem
ed In the interest Of the Postal Ser
vice, in that the carrier does not max
the delivery Of mail a secondary mat
ter. Carriers, however, are not pro
Inhibited from carrying, outside Of tn
mails, unavailable matter on the re
quest and at the expense Of patron
Of their routes"

win be thirty feet wide and will make
East Monroe one Of the prettiest
streets in the city. We believed this
Improvement to be one Of the most
substantial Mexico has had. Other
streets will Immediately take up the
paving question, and We believe that
quite a number OF blocks viii be put
down during 1905. Paving not only
helps the city as q whole, but largely
increases the value Of adjoining pro-
