Fort Drummer Heights Hereafter Will

Provided For-List of Routes and
Hours of Labor.

In common with all other postoffice
forces in the country the local EN-
poyes began work today under new
arrangement made so, they could com
ply with the new law requiring that
all postal employees shall not be re-
quired to do more than eight hours
work and that such work shall be com
pleted within a period of 10 hours.
J. f. Leach, who has been appointed
superintendent of carriers, a new po-
sition in connection with the local
postotfice, has had his troubles for
some weeks preparing for the change,
and while final approval OF all the
changes has not been received from
Washington it is expected here that
they viii be approved as the most fea-
sible solution of the problem.
| In any event Brattleboro has gained
another carrier, who began work this
morning. He is only an auxiliary car
rier and as such this particular law
| does not affect his hours of labor. But
| that fact alone gives opportunity to
have him work at the carriers win
dow evenings and he also will do what
Sunday work is required of the car
riers.
Besides that the Fort Dummer
Heights section. which has been with
out carrier service heretofore. has been
added to the districts covered by car
riers, beginning today. The main
business section of the town has not
been deprived of any deliveries by
this change.
The carriers window Is not to be
closed, as in many offices in the coun-
try, unless the postal authorities 50 or
L.
for the window being open as it has
been heretofore, although the amount
of mail delivered there is ridicously
small in proportion to the number of
inquiries made each evening during
the half hour the window is open. 1t
merely goes to show that many 90
there to have an excuse TO leave their
homes at night. The stamp window
and the money order department will
he open during the same hours as in
the past. providing the authorities at
Washington do not order some change
from the plans put into operation to
day.
