Under instructions from the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
Postmaster Chapman calls attention
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 supply
ing themselves with postage in adj
vance 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 pat
rons of rural delivery provide them
selves and keep on hand a supply Of
stamps consistent with and in adj
vance of their needs. 1t is also very
desirable that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in pur
chasing supplies of stamps.
