FREE MAIL DELIVERY
Seems Probable as a Result of Con-
 gressnnan Mahan's Efforts.

Congressman B. F. Mahan's efforts to secure a free delivery service of mail for Danielson seem in a way to be crowned with success. Following a careful looking over of the field by an inspector of the postof2ce depart ment, 1t has been found that pracGcal- iy all of the governments requirements previous to the establishment of such a service have been compiled with and a favorable report by the inspector is anticipated. If the service is estab- iished, as now seems probable, there
 will be two reguAr carriers, a substi-
 tute and an auxiliary. It is probable
 that the carriers, positions would be filled from among the present auxil-
 iary and substitute force of workers
 at the local office, as they have al-
 ready passed civil service examina- ttOnS.
 Postmaster Potter has been figuring out a tentative schedule of routes and deliveries so that he would be ready to quickly make his arrangements ii the service is ordered established There are about 13 miles of streets ir the borough, to be divided into two routes, to be covered twice a day,with more frequent delivery service in the business section.
