OUTLINE OF FREE
DELIVERY TERRITORY
INCLUDES MOST OF CITY
PRINCIPAL PORTIONS OF CON
WAY TO BE SERVED BY
TWO MAIL CARRIERS.

The greater portion of the city of
Conway will be served by the free
city mail delivery to be inaugurated
on November l, according to the oflic-
ial map of the routes which has Just
been received by Postmaster O. j.
Owen Only two routes will be estab-
lished, and the territory to be covered
by the two carriers will necessarily
make these routes rather lengthy.
The map also apparently contem-
plates the erection of only four boxes
IRON which mail will be collected
These boxes will be located at the
corner OF East Oak street and the
pupilc square, and at corners of the
.campuses Of Hendrix Collera Central
College and the Conway high sclluol
An unofficial description of the
boundaries of the territory to be seiv-
ed, which was made up by the Log
Cabin Democrat from the map of the
routes is given below. All residences
and business houses along the streets
named as boundaries, or included
within the boundaries outlined will be
served by one or the other of the car
riers. The outside boundaries of the
delivery service follows:
Beginning at the corner of Spencer
and Independence streets, thence west
to railroad, along railroad to Clifton
street, south to Prince street, west to
Watkins street, south to Robinson
avenue, west to Donaghey avenue,
east to Watkins street, south to Col

value of the property owned by those
who requested the removal of their
names from the petition is $34 ,456.
Deducting this from $5l ,874, leaves
net majority of unquestioned signers
amounting in assessed value to $17,-
4l8. The figures are summarized as
follows:
Assessed value of district. .$537 ,54l

Total value on petition. $50. 320,645
MAJORITY ................. 5l,S74
Withdrawn from petition. :. "a ,456
Net majority ......... II, ,4l8
This majority is very gratifying to
the commissioners, as it insures the
district against attack. The maiori-
ty is more noteworthy on account of
the fact the railroad real estate, as
seSsed at 100000, which was sign
ed in favor of waterworEs, was not
signed for the sewer district and is
counted against it. Had the railroad
company signed the petition, the ma
jority would therefore have been over
500, 900 greater than it is.

hold that late spring pruning tends to
increase the fruit supply and that fall
