DON'T HAVE TO BUY
FIFTY CENTS IN
STAMPS
No Such Order for Patrons Of
Rural Routes Territorial Of

Morning Journal Bureau,

Washington, D. c.. May Il

dShi1gtOn, y. g.. Way L.
In a recent publication relating to
the rural delivery service, the state
ment Is made that an order has been
issued by the Postoffice department.
requiring patrons Of rural routes to
buy In the aggregate Of fifty cents
worth of stamps per day in order to
have a route continued.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock, re
ferring to the matter today, said that
the department had not issued such
an order. nor had any instructions or
statements been issued by the depart
ment. which could have given rise 20
the article, unless il was that, in con
nection with q rural route which was
not being sufficiently patronized. a
postmaster had been advised. as is
usual in such eases, that unless the
patronage on a route was increased
and there was d more extended use Of
the mails by the patrons the route
would be put on a trl-weekly basis or
discontinued.
Mr.. Hitchcock says il is barely pos
sible that the statement
may have originated IN another way.
owing to h%ardships aud delays to
rural carriers occasioncd by patrons
placing loose coin in mail boxes for
postage when desiring to dispatch
mail, postmasters are directed by the
department to urge upon patrons the
desirability of providing a supply OF
stamps In advance Of their needs. But
there is nothing contained in these
directions to warrant the statement
that patrons must buy an aggregate Of
fifty cents worth of stamps a day to
secure the continuance Of a rural
route.
