Several plans have recently been sub
mitted 10 the Postoflce Department Of
advising patrons of the rural delivery
service of weather predictions. One Of
these plans proposes that the fore
casts Of the Weather Bureau be printed

rural carriers IN conjunction with the

method was frs' suggested by one Of
the officials g. Il = Weather Bureau in
October. 1895. g. I in the latter part Of
that year. ana the year following It
was given a tee: and discarded as i'm
practicable.
One OF the lHfncIpaI objections 20 its
adoption in the rural delivery service
would be the fact that on average
not more than 33 y per cent of the pa
irons of rural delivery are regularly IN
daily receipt Of mail Furthermore. it
would entail large expense In providing
with new back stamps with removable
type suited TO the purpose.
To facilitate the dissemination OF the
I daily predictions Of the Weather Bu-
reau, the Postmaster General ordered
that poStmaSterS who could be reached
by telegraph be furnished by tho
Weather Bureau with rubber logotype
outfits by wh1c5E the forecasts could be
readily and easily duplicated and
stamped upon penalty cards TO be fur
nished by the Weather Bureau upon
application
Postmasters were directed to furnish
rural carriers with sufficient numbers
OF copies of the daily forecasts to sup
ply each Of their patrons. and these
forecasts are at the present time being
supplied wherever desired.
