 The new letter carrier who is supposed to begin his duties in Brooklyn on Saturday has not been appointed as yet, but the people of this section are confident that Post master Guernsey will not disappoint them and will in a short time have three men distributing mail in Brook lyn. For the past year or more the Brooklyn people seem to think that to have efficient service andther mail man should be appointed for this side and couple of months ago the post master came to the conclusion that they were right. To hasten the mat ter along the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee became interested in the subject, with the result that the members were given assurance that the new man would commence work about the first of the coming month. At present there are only two carriers in Brooklyn to de- liver mail to about 12,000 souls and because of the number of foreigners, "Rhody" Maher and Billy" Wilcox have their troubles distributing the mail. The Brooklyn and Town Plot committee has under consideration the play of having collector come to Brooklyn about II o'clock in the evening. It would be a very easy thing for the collector to jump on car between II and 12 o'clock and come to Brooklyn to open the boxes. The committee may bring the matter to the postmaster's atten- ton and if Its efforts are successful, the service would be vastly improved and would be we'll appreciated by the Brooklynites.
