tuners are never tired of cot nding
her praises. At .an same time her
Majesty believes 1t quite an easy
matter for g woman to have a per-

recommendation by the postmaster
general in his annual report are the
following
At the end of the last fiscal year

tion a total of G1,15S postoffices in

Postmasters' Meetings.
The report regards with favor the
meetings of postmasters associations
in annual convention, and states that
these meetings have been encouraged
by the department by the sending OF
representatives to join with the pest
masters in discussing postal affairs
and making plans for the betterment
of the service. The first assistant,
tcwever. believes that better results
would follow if number OF the asso-
Citations would consolidate. This.
he thinks would effect a larger at
tendance and extend the influence OF
the associations.
Better City Delivery.
OF special interest to the general
public are the recommendations re-
lating to the extension and improve
ment of the city delivery service.
Millions of people residing in small
towns, it is stated. are without any
form of free delivery. This condition,

remedied by amending the law so as

by city carriers except at residences
or offices where suitable mail re-
ceptacles are placed at the door or
