Can Have Rural Free Delivery

for the people of a large section
OF this county to secure a rura
free delivery of mails. All it will
take is a little pressure on the
county court and county road en-.
gineer to put in good shape g
small stretch of road and the
Government will then be ready
to establish the route.
Sometime ago an effort was
made to have rural route estab.
lished with this place as starting
place, to supply the Pine Creek,
Mt. Zion, Barnes Run and Hur
country with mail daily. The
matter was laid away and had
been forgotten until last week,
when Mr.. G. M. Mensch, an in
spector Of the postoffice depart
ment, was sent out over the
route to report the advisability
Of establishing the route.
The proposed route from
Grantsville would go up Philips
Run. over to Pine Creek by way
of j. N. Cunningham's up Pine
creek to Mt. Zion, thence down
Barnes Run to AL Balls, thence
to Hur and down Big Fork and
Pine Creek to Grantsville. This
route will connect with one leav-
ing Creston to Annamoriah,
down Annamoriah to Joker,
thence to Cremo and down Little
Creek and the West Fork to
Creston. The routes would, of
course, be daily and people liv-
ing along the way would have
mail delivered into their homes
every day.
Mr.. Mensch went over the en-
tire route and when he arrived
at this place, he informed the
Chronicle that he would be very
glad to recommend the establish
ment of the route if it were not
for the horrible condition of the
road down Big Fork and that as
soon as that stretch of road was
placed in good condition he would
see that the route was establish
ed. All the other roads over
which the proposed route passes
are in good enough shape, there
are enough families living along
the route to justify the depart
ment in going to the additional
expense of establishing the
route, and the only thing in the
way is the little stretch of not
over three miles of road up the
Big Fork of Pine Creek.
Will the people who live along
these proposed routes allow such
a small matter as the repairing
OF the bad stretch of road to
keep them from the enjoyment
of such a luxury as rural free de-
livery? We do not believe they
will. We have no doubt the
county court will, as soon as it's
attention is called to the matter,
at once order the repair of the
road which stands in the way of
a great benefit to a large num-
Der of the citizens of the county.
The financial statement shows
a balance Of nearly a thousand
dollars in the Center district road
fund and it is not a question of
the district being too poor to do
the work.
Let's all get busy now and go
to work for the establishment Of
these routes, They will be of
great benefit to everybody and
the establishment Of these will
mean the establishment of more
in the future.
