l8,GOO, 600 MAIL BOXES
Mil Have to Be Made II Provision In
Postoffice Bill Is Adopted.

TEere vii! be good-sized commotion
In this country when the most interest
ing provision of the postofice appro
prlation bill reported to the house
by Representative Weeks (Mass.)
chairman of the committee on postof-
fees and post roads, becomes gen
orally known. The measure contains
a provision prohibiting any letter
carrier from delivering mail at any
house unless there is suitable mail
box conveniently placed on the out
side to receive it, This radical prop
ositicn will go into effect, II congress
approves of 1t, on June 30, 1911.
This means that when the bill be-
comes effective the mail box manu-
facturers of the country must make
about $1,000, 900 mail boxes, which
will cost the people of the country
more than $20,00O,O 900. The commit
tee expccts there will be something of
howl raised but figure that the gov
ernment will save S4,000000 a year
by means of the boxes. After numer-
Gus experiments the committee deter
mined that the average postman
'spends between Is and 80 seconds
at each house ringing the doorbell
and waiting for response. The com.
mittee says that the provision will
reduce the number Of carriers or
greatly increase their service and eff
flciency.

DEMAND FOR NEW ROAD

Show Road Can Be Built For
sa5.OOO.OOo

Attorneys for the proposed Buff
falo, Rochester and Eastern railroad
are now prepared to show that
not ouly is the demand for the rail
road general fIOm one end of the state
to the other, but that it can be built
for the sum mentioned by them in
their application $S5,0O0,00O. BY
the testimony Of James C. Boyd, eX-
pert engineer connected with the firm
of Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co.,
ii IS expected the commission will be
convinced of the feasibility of the
route of the proposed railroad from an
engineering standpoint and of the
fact that the railroad can be con-
structed for the amount stated by the
promoters The commission has eX-
pressed the belief that the railroad
cannot he constructed for less than
100000 900.
Before the hearing is concluded the
attorneys hope TO have proved beyond
a doubt that the company will have
no difficulty in financing the construe-
ton and can obtain $100,000,00O as
easily as it can get SS5,OOO,O00, the
sum which it claims would be neces-
sary to build the road and place it
upon an operating basis.
