BOYS LEAVE
THE SERVICE
MEN ENTER SPECIAL DELIVERY
WORK
ARE NOT INJURED BY THE LATE
HOURS
Postmaster Flint Thinks Department
Needs the Substitute Letter Car
rers Who Enter This
New Branch

AS a result of the order of Post
master General Meyer, replacing spe-
cial delivery messengers, who are boys.
by sub letter carriers, about twenty
two messengers of the special delivery
service will be put out of their jobs
in the Los Angeles postoffice even
tually.
The boys, according to Postmaster
Motley H. Flint of Los Angeles, will
be benefited by the change, doubtless,
as they are often called upon in the
special delivery service to visit low
resorts, to be up at late hours of the
night, and otherwise do work not
adapted to them.
On the other hand, Postmaster Flint
says, the change is detrimental
to the service. He says that when
ever the boys leave the service for
any reason their places will be filled
by the sub-letter carriers, who are
full grown men. That the latter will
do the work just as well and with no
evil results attendant upon themselves,
is undoubted by the postmaster. BuI
that the service will be benefited is
not so clear to him.
The twenty-five places to be hlled
from the ranks of the forty sub-letter
carriers, who will eventually take the
places of the twenty-five special de-
livery boys. will leave a vacancy In
the ranks of the substitutes list. THESE
substitutes get no pay unless they are
working, even though their names are
on the list.
But when doing special delivery
work they get cents for every letter
delivered. -,
Now. although the boys places will
be taken by these twenty-five men
from the ranks of the forty letter car
rier substitutes, the change will leave
only eighteen substitute carriers on
the available list of carriers in case
of a rush of work falling to the hands
of the Los Angeles postoffice, which
often happens, as in the case OF the
"Christmas rush"
Hence, more work will be made FOR
the REGULARS" since the majority OF
their substitutes will be engaged In
special delivery service.

WILL UR jE TREE SPACE
IN FUTURE CURB LINES
Engineers Department FaVors Allow.
ing Room for Greenery Even at
Sacrifice of Roadway
Space

Three planting in Los Angeles is at
the whim of property owners, and many
tourists are disappointed at the lack
of trees in the largest city in the
garden spot of North America.
The city engineers department is
seriously studying the situation with a
view to having the street laws changed
so that more tree planting space can
be given. even at the sacrifice of road
way or sidewalk space.
The department heads favor side
walks from eighteen to twenty feet
wide in residence districts, of which
space one-third should be reserved for
tree planting.
An ordinance may be drafted COW
ering these features, especially apply
ing to new streets and new subdi-
visions.

 Bloomfeld-Mr and Mrs G. E.. Mercy of the Royal View farm re- gently witnessed a remarkable sight for Connecticut. A band of ten deer came near to their dwelling house and then went slowly away to the south of the lands of the Cold Spring farm. Deer have been seen frequent ly around these two farms of late, but not in such large bands as that seen by Mr and Mrs Mercy. Thomaston-The latest freak Of birddom to be seen here is a black sparrow which for a few days has attracted wide attention in the vicin- ity of the railroad station on East Main street. The bird is of the av- craze size and associates entirely with the other English sparrows. About year ago white robin lin gered in the same locality for several weeks, only to be eventually killed and mounted, fate that doubtless will befall the black sparrow unless he hies to other fields.

 Most of the men in the jury seemed to he deeply affected by the spectacle of Mrs. Hains' grief. Several of them used their handkerchiefs to wipe away moisture on their own cheeks.

 Tierney said that Thornton Hains did not point his revolver at any one on the float, but called for an officer to arrest his brother.
