QUICKER MAIL DELIVERY
ADVANTAGES OF PREPARING

Acting Postmaster Merritt Preparing
q Circular Letter to Be Sent to

who desire to receive their mail by car

better delivery service is seeking to per-
suade residents In free delivery cities to
provide mail receptacles at their homes
in their front doors. into which the mail
for the occupants of given house may
have their mail deposited
Acting Postmaster Merritt is preparing
a circular letter to each resident OF Wash
ington asking that this be done and set
ting forth the advantages as well to the
resident as to the postal service. 1t is
claimed that carriers can cover their
routes I'm half the time now required II
they can deposit the mail In a house let
ter box or a receptacle in the front door,
ring the bell or otherwise alarm the resi-
dent of the house and pass on their way
without waiting for a response.
This said Mr.. Merritt, will enable the
local post Office to give more frequent de-
liveries and 1t will remove present un-
avoidable cause of delay. II carrier
raps at a door or rings the bell and re-
ceives no response within the brief time
he Is permitted to wait, he must go on
his way with the mail undelivered and
wait until his next trip for second de-
livery trial. 1t will also enable people
living at or near the terminals or car
riers' routes to receive their mail much
earlier than at present.
The house-Ietter-box plan is said to
possess many other advantages besides
insuring quite a saving in money to the
department. Prominent builders are also
