practice OF placing loose coins in boxes
by rural patrons has grown, and the de-
lay in delivery and collection of mail,
and the hardship imposed on rural car.

that, commencing February Is, proximo,
rural letter carriers will not be required
to collect loose coins from rural mail
boxes. Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely in q
piece Of paper, or deposit them iu coin
holding receptacle, so they can be easily
and quickly taken from boxes, and car.
riers will be required to lift such coins,
and, where accompanied by mail for dis.
patch, attach the requisite stamps.
