!1oAt'h A1Sit1lo ttilNt 4NS"os
1 have just read Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General p. r. DeGraw's
letter, which says that it is nesessary
in order to complete the rural mail
service in the county, which is now
under consideration in the depart
ment, to have a complete road map
made, showing all OF the public
roads aud residences along the line.
The postmaster has asked for this
with the understanding that it in
volve no expense to the department,
and you have directed the matter to
the supervisor and his board for their
consideration. [ would say that there
is no one, who appreciates the free
mail service. any more than myself,
and [ am doing everything in my
power to better the condition Of the
public highways, which the car
riers have to pass over. And ever
since the service has been in opera
tion, I have advised every one living
along the lines to give it their pat
ronage and cooperation, and with the
execution Of some complaint of rough
i road, which is now being overcome, I
venture the assertion that Newberry
county has the best mail service of
any county in the state.
Mr.. Editor, how much does the free
mail service lack of being complete
in The county? We have been under
the impression that it reaches about
as far as practicable already, or at
least nine-tenths of the people are
being benefited with free delivery.
The county board will investigate the
matter, and don It intend that what
I say shall have any tendency to
block anything which might be for
the general good Of the public. But,
Mr.. Editor, did you think what cost
to the county it would be to have
snch a survey made9 To illustrate
tte matter, and to give the public a
better idea Of how the county is cut
up into public highways, you will
please publish the following list of
different sections Of public highway,
',lev are bounded with the names
Of each overseer for each section, just
I'M two townships-9 and 10. [ have
'Hst completed this work, which the
supervisor has hired me to do for
him, paying me out of his own salary.
Mr. Editor, after inspecting this list
please give us a proximate estimate
as to what such survey Of the whole
D county would cost. AS matter Of
ifSSfact, we have to take cost into con-
5SSideration.
