the City in Routes.
MAGNIFICENT SERVICE GIVEN
Three Deliveries in Business Section
and Practically Entire City Gov
cred Twice Day,

Knowing that the description of a
mail route by metes and bounds is
hard to understand we will endeavor to
set forth the three Denison carrier
districts as follows:
Carrier No. One: For beginning
we will take the German Methodist
church. and start the carrier around
the boundary line of his territory
We would go east one block to Sweet
street and then be near Thelm's but
on the other side of the street. He
then supplies both sides of the street
south to the Carnegle library. He
must go west two blocks to the corner
by Grill's lumber Office. then north a
block to Broadway. and now he is in
front of the court house. He now
goes west on Broadway clear to. the
Illinois Central track if there is mail
to take. Turning north he comes to
Court Avenue at the corner of the
West Denison Mill, and then up the
street to the Hotel Normandy and
thence to the city hall on Main street.
Now he has been around his territory.
He takes mail to the residents of
Nassau and Wall street those
diagonal streets running down hill to
the northwest from Broadway. He
takes mail to the business houses
three times day but to the rest of
the territory two times a day.
Carrier No. Two His territory
embraces the north part Of town. He
must supply the Illinois Central depot
on the far west and all the city east
ward to within three blocks of the
east line. He starts from the Nc
Kim hall corner and goes east on
Broadway to the corner just past the
Episcopal church. and then south one
block to the school house corner. then
east on Chestnut street to the Normal
College. He does not go down. the
hill mt M Craft $ and out 70 TIE
Vosgrau house and that territory will
be supplied once q dav by rural
carrier. He goes two blocks north OF
Broadway on the street adjoining the
college grounds. He then goes west
two blocks and then north to the town
limits. He now has all the city west
to the Illinois Central track and north
of Broadway except the territory
west of the court house. Any houses
in the northeast corner of the town
or in the vicinity of the old brick
yard will be supplied by rural carrier.
Carrier No. Three. In main he has
the entire south part of town. His
territory sweeps from the track of the
Pumpkin Vine or Northwestern track
on the west. eastward to the base ball
park on the east. Houses south OF
the track will be supplied by the rura
carrier once a day in the morning.
There are some houses on Railroad
avenue on the extreme east side which
are out of the carrier district. This
supplies the city better than was al
first expected. The inspector kept
asking for side walks. and some
houses were lett out because there
we're no walks leading to them. II
is doubtful whether the new service
begins before July lst as the govern
ment moves slow. The electric light
company kindly consented to allow
collection boxes to be placed on
it's posts wherever desired.
