 Southington is soon to have delivery service and a system for house num- bering has been prepared. Postmas- ter Prior is anxious to have numbers placed on the houses at least three weeks before the service is inaugural ed in order that he can make a favor ,1,iv ing the preparations being made by the town at least fifteen days before June 22, the date on which carriers are to make their start.
 The examination papers of those who have applied for carrier appoint ments have been forwarded to the district inspector at Washington and it will probably be several days before they are notified of their standing.
