Residents Of Outlying Dis
tricts Demand the Delivery
Of Mail to Them.

A new fiscal year OF the post Office
starts today and Postmaster George
II. Tice Is busy getting his quarterly
and annual reports ready. 1t is not
vet known how the volume of busi-
ness for the past year will compare
with that of previous years, but 1t is
believed that 1t will come up to that
done in the year previous. When
next years report is entered, Mr..
Tice will make public record of the
business transacted during the past
ten years, starting from 1900.
The business OF the local office has
grown wonderfully throughout the
past Ave years. About two years ago
the office was made first class. Now
it has grown to such an extent that
additional carriers are needed Mr..
Tice is trying each year to cover a
larger field than during the year
previous He is attempting to send
carriers over the rural districts OF
the city where the streets are not yet
paved nor houses numbered. He
needs at least two more carriers, he
states, and they will be applied for
about June /.
Residents and property-holders in
StiCi NCcbcIu beCLlOu Oh lHc city are
making every endeavor to secure
postal delivery service. The Citizens
Alliance, formed q little over a year
ago in Kennedale Park, is trying to
have sidewalks laid on New Bruns-
wick avenue, from the end of Wash
ington street to the hospital, at least.
This matter has been discussed at
their meetings and members of the
alliance have personally appealed to
Mayor Bollschweiler and other city
officials
The government will not allow ex-
ira carriers here unless houses are
numbered, streets paved and side
walks laid. The citizens Of the wes-
tern section are thankful to the city
fathers for what they have accom-
pllshed in the past year. They hesi-
tate to be too far-reaching- In their
demands, but declare that postal de-
livery service In that section is an
absolute necessity.

ment of a commission to investigate

vitation to speak at Utica, N. r.,
some time in the latter part Of April,
on the Hughes direct primary nomi-
nation bill. The governor Just now
is pretty well tied up with matters of
Legislation, and has been unable to
say whether or not he will be able
