R. F. D. Patrons.

Postmaster Webster has received
the folio wing communication that
will interest all r. F. D. patrons.
'From a recent count made by ru-
raj carriers in one of the counties in
the state of New York of coins depos-
tied by patrons in their boxes for the
purchase of stamp supplies, it was
found that each carrier in the county
was collecting an average of lis one
cent coins each week. This average
applied to all the routes in operation
throughout the county would give
the enormous total of about 500. 900,
900 one cent coins.
AS most of these coins are deposit
ed loose IN boxes, it is desirable that
you and the rural carriers, in a tact
full and polite way, put forth your best
efforts to induce patrons to provide
themselves with stamp supplies in
advance of their needs, and to eqnip
their boxes with suitable coin holding
receptacles. 1t should be explained
to patrons that the picking Of loose
coins from boxes not only results in
needless hardship and suffering to
carriers. in winter weather, delays
the delivery and collection of the
mails, but frequently results in ac-
tual money loss to the carriers, for
if, in collecting coins from boxes,
they drop them into the snow or on
the ground without recovery, they are
required to replace the amount out Of
their own funds.
