The Washington correspondent Of
the State writes his paper from
Washington in regard to rural routes
under recent date that 1t is probable
some Of them may be out of. Ii BIZ.
hooves the people in the country to
patrOnize them. In regard to this
matter the States correspondent
says:
Some Of the Cfl1otsls Of the post
m&e departmont some time ago we're
somewhat nettled at the reports pub
ished in this correspondence that
they intended to discontinue rural
free delivery routes which did not
handle as much as 2 600 pieces OF
mail q month. They were nettled es
pt cially because In that same letter l
called attention to the fact that the
| operations Of this rule would affact
routes principally in the south, where
the number Of negroes on the routes
who do not use mails very m ch
caused the average number of mai
pieces to be 80 low. Tho number OF
pieces handled on the routes In Soutl
Carolina, according to the figures OF
the department.. averaged 400 pieces
month. In North Carolina the av
erage is only 1900. So stirred up
about this report were the otlicials
that they issued special statement
to the papers Of North Carolina,
where portions uf the story were cop
led, with a view Of modifying the i'm
preston.
Representative Finley, who Is q
mem Der Of the house committee on
post flee and postroad, has just re
ccived u letter from Mr.. DeGraw,
fourth assistant postmaster general,
confirming that report. He gives q
specific instance OF the cutting Off OF
routes or tho disposition to do it
You will Observe" says the letter,
after giving tho number of mail
pieces handled on routes ins4 ork-
county, that the amount OF mafl'
handled on these routes Is far below
the average per route. 5000 per
month, and below the minimum
which 1t ia thought a route should
handle rer month, 1000 pieces"
The letter notifies Mr.. Finley tina,
