 DECATUR OFFICES Free Delivery, However, Is Ordered Continued At
 New Decatur

Washington, October 11-(speciai.)- Free delivery carrier service will be con- tinued at the fourth class postohice at New Decatur. Orders to this effect have just gone out to the postmasters at New Decatur and Decatur, While the post office department is at loss to know ijust how to straighten out the tangle that has developed In the re-estapilsh- ment of the New Decatur office every thing possible will be done to give the people as good service as they had be- fore the change was made.
 The postmaster, whose compensation IS limited to $1O00 year or the entire can cellation up to that amount, will prob- ably be the greatest sufferer. He must also furnish quarters for the office. The department here is trying to devise some method of furnishing clerks. The of- flee will probably have to run one year before it can be made a second class of flee. though the officials here are busy seeking some practical legal plan by which the change can be made earlier. The citizens of New Decatur, who are so desirous of having the postoffice run indeperd rdentiy of the Decatur office, will probably put up supplemental fund to help pay for office quarters and other
