last Saturday night and remained e
Sunday, stopping at the Hotel Dewey,
18th and L. streets. Congressman
Gardner presented them to First AS
sistant Postmaster General Grandfield
Monday morning and Mr.. Harris took
up local postal questions with him.
Mr.. Grandfeld informed Mr.. Harris
that free delivery of mails had not beer
granted to Wildwood and that in view
of the large deficit in the department
the chances were that it would not be
granted this year. This information
came as a great surprise to Mr.. harris,
who with other citizens had been led
to believe that free delivery had been
granted before he took office on the 10th
inst. 1t seems hat there has been no
authority for the report that free de-
livery had beer granted. However,
nothing daunted, Mr.. Harris has writ
ten to the department showing how
