That the Posteffice Depart
ment if waking upon the read
proposition is shown quite
clearly in the letter below
which was written to the post
master at Abel, Iowa. The
condition in that county are
doubtless quite similar to the
conditions in this county, and
the order issued by the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General
will apply with equal force to
the roads here.
"The department agrees with
you thoroughly in your state
ment that the road problem is
a difficult one to solve. The
idea that rural carriers are
paid for their services and
sh ould cover their routes, re-
CARELESS of the condition of
the roads, is one that appears
to be held in'many localities by
patrons of the service.
"The rural delivery service
is maintained at great expense.
to the government and it is be-
lieved that these directly. bene-
flied thereby should interest
themselves to the extent of
keeping the roads over which
the routes are laid in reason
ably good condition for travel.
"The maintenance of good
roads in connection with the
rural delivery service is insis-
tel upon for the benefit and
convenience of the carrier as a
secondary consequence only;
the prime reason for this policy
being that good roads admit of
more expeditions delivery and
dispatch Of the mail. 1t is Of
ten claimed that a road is not
impossible as long as team can
get through, and that if the
roads can be driven by the res
idents of the vicinity there can
be no excuse for the complaint
from the carrier. This point
of view does not cover the
question properly, as it docs
not take into consideration the
fact that the carrier must trav-
ell the route daily regardless of
the condition of the weather;
must travel the roads laid down
for him and cover the distance
if possible, within the official
schedule and must see that the
mail in his charge is fully pro-
tected and delivery effected in
good condition. 1t therefore
follows that the roads must be
in condition somewhat better
than merely passableif efficient
ervice is to be rendered, and
the department feels that's it's
requirement in this respect is
entirely reasonable.
1It is therefore desired that
you again bring the roads COW
cred by rural routes amamatipg
from Abel to the attention of
the local authorities, and you
may say to them that you are
acting under instruction from
the department and that unless
the roads are placed in reason
ably good condition for travel
at the first opportunity the
routes will be arranged in such
a way as to eliminate the ne
elected places or if this cannot
be accomplished service will be
arranged in such a way as to
eliminate the neglected places,
Tor. if this cannot be acconnl;.
