MailabIe Packages.

Ever since the establishment of the
rural free delivery routes il has been
the practice of carriers to take articles
to and from towns for certain patrons
Of the routes either out of good will
or for hire. The Postolliee Depart
ment wants all the revenue it can get
from the routes to help make them
self-snpporting. Therefore it has is
sued an order to the effect that no
package be carried by the carrier
either free or for money, which weighs
under four pounds unless postage
shall have been paid on it at the reg
ular rate.
The order issued by the fourth as
sistant postmaster general as follows:
Postnasters OF rural delivery offices
are din ected to inform rural delivery
carriers thut they must not carry, ~
express matter, for hire or as favor,
any article or package weighing foui
pounds or under, which ~ maiable,
aud ar.iers will inform p atrOns that
such packages can only be delivered
by them after the required postage
shall have been affixed to such pack
! age.
