Free Delivery

A bill has been introduced in the House
OF Representatives Of the United States
Congress having for its object the con-
ducting Of experiments on the part of
the Post Master General for the estab-
lishment of the free delivery system in
incorporated cities, towns and boroughs
having a population of not less than one
thousand within the corporate limits and
prescribing the rules by the P. o. De-
partment to make such a system practi-
cable. This is bill that should be en-
>couraged by the commercial associations
and business men organization. There
is no reason why city OF such size
should not have such system in force.
In rural districts with much smaller
population there is a free delivery system
and yet city Of nearly $500 population
like Idaho Springs is deprived of this
convenience. We believe that every in
corporated town Of 1000 and over should
get busy in favoring the mail carrier
service. The congressman from Colo.
RADIO should be urged by petitions, lette RS
and resolutions to support such asystem
and there should be no time lost in thus
addressing them.

In the building of transccontinental
highways Colorado is now absolutely as
sured of three routes across the state.
This comes as result OF the decision
reached at the national convention of
the Automobile Association of America
in Washington last week. That conven-
ton endorsed as links in the transconti
mental routes the roads as outlined by
the highway commission of Colorado.
This decision means much to Colorado.
The work of the A. A. A. is regarded by
all automobilists as OF the highest order.
and routes mapped out by them are Civ
en- in all official log books printed.
A state having the natural resources
and attraction Of Colorado, is too big for
any one route. The Greater Colorado
Highways Association has but one pur-
pose in view, and that is to work for the
best interests OF the state. As far as good
roads work is concerned this can best be
brought about by securing the early

outlined by the state highway commits
