ent the matter in the strongest and
most positive way to the patrons and
road officials, informing them that i'm
provements must be made as soon as
practicable. If after reasonable time
has elapsed, the improvements have
not been made or started you will re-
port the fact to this office in order that
action may be taken looking to the
dicontinuance of the service.
1.-The department Is not Immediately
concerned in elaborate road improve
ments. but in the interest of the best
service to the largest number Of pa
irons. 1t must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack Of which
is usually due to improper drainage
and unsuitable grading and surface
work, which can be easily and cheaply
accomplished by timely work and the
regular use of the split-log drag or
similar device"
Painting Mail Boxes.
Mr.. De Graw has also sent out a cir
cular to postmasters advising them OF
the desire of the department that pa
irons of the rural routes be requested
to paint their mail boxes and the posts
to which they are attached to pure
white. This, 1t is argued, will not only
serve to protect the posts and boxes
from ravages of the weather, but will
give them a uniform color which will
fix their identity in all parts of the
country as United States mail boxes.
Patrons are also requested to i'm
print their names and box numbers on
boxes in black letters about two inches
in height.
Mr. DeGraw also says:
1T is desired that you endeavor to
induce road officials to paint upon the
posts Of boxes which are located at
cross roads (but not attach signs
thereto) the names of towns or villages
to which the cross roads lead, with an
indicator showing the direction"
The circular states that posts to
which boxes are attached should be set
in easily accessible positions at the
side of the road with boxes securely
fastened to projecting arms, of wood,
or to brackets Of iron about three-six
teenths of an inch thick; or if preferr-
ed, automatic extension arms may be
used.
