johnson creek, WIS.,, Jan. ~
Especial to The LEADER attention
of the patrons of the rura! routes is
respectfully called to the following
order:
PRACTICE SHOULD CEASE.
Postmaster Grell desires to call at
tention to the practice of some patrons
of rural delivery of placing loose coins
in their boxes each time they desire to
dispatch letters instead of supplying
themselves with postage in advance of
their needs.
This practice imposes undue hardship
on rural carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on the
service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand a
supply of stamps consistent with and in
advance of their needs. 1t is also very
desirable that rural patrons place in
in their mail boxes small detachable
cups Of wood or tin in which to place
coins, when necessary, in purchasing
supplies of stamps.
The attention of the village author
tiles has repeatedly been called to the
violation Of the ordinance which pro-
hibits teams from being left on the
highways without protection. 1t seems
to be the practice of some farmers to
leave their horses on days when stock
is delivered in the cold for several
hours, when a little human feeling
for the animals will give them shelter
which Is obtained free at the various
stables of the saloons Violations in
the future will be prosecuted.
