MAY LOSE The
RURAL MAIL
Bad Road May Cause Uncle
Sam to Discontinue Mont
rose Delivery
TO HAVE MEETING
TO TALK IT OVER

Residents of Montrose. in Brandy
wine hundred, are stirred over a
notification from Washington that un-
less the road there is improved the
residents will lose the rural mail de-
livery service. Mrs. John DOnohoe is
the rural mail carrier i'm that section,
and this week she notified Montrose
residents that complaint had been
filed with the post Office authorities
because of the bad condition of the
road in and around Montrose and
that the rural service would be dis
continued unless the road is Inn
proved.
This threat on the part of the gov
ernment has stirred the residents Of
Montrose, which is now a large and
thriving suburb. and petitions were
circulated yesterday and to-day for a
mass meeting on Wednesday night
next at William Carters bungalow to
discuss the situation, and to ask the
Levy Court to improve Lenderman
road at once If no relief is obtained
from the Levy Court it is said that a
non-partisan organization will be
formed to support a candidate for
Levy Court two years hence. who will
pledge himself to improve that road
and others in Brandywine hundred.
Residents of MOntrOse say they
have been patient and lOng-suifering
and a promise of a better road some
time ago was lost in the shuttle when
the road commissioners changed
office. There is a road leading from
the Philadelphia turnpike to the river
which was bought by the county six
teen years ago. II is known as the
Lenderman road. but it is contended
that it is in such bad shape that coal
dealers and grocers refuse to deliver
commodities there except during part
of the summer months. It is the road
that the Montrose residents want inn
proved. as It would give them a good
route to and from that suburb. and
is the road the rural mail carrier has
to traverse. There are two private
lanes there that are now used, but
they are out of the way and are not
