DELlvERY SERVICE POSTPONED.
Borough Will Not Get City Mail Ser. vice Until April 1st-opposed by $ Few.

A letter from the first assistant postmaster general to Postmaster Charles 4. Potter brings the an- nonncement that the establishment o1 of mail has been postponed from Jan- uary to April 1.
 In the meantime the citizens in the territory to be served have been in- vited to file with the local postmaster a request for the service, this, 1t is taken, to ascertain how widespread is the demand for free delivery service To is further stipulated that all houses must be correctly numbered before the service is established, this applying to all the territory included in the proposed delivery zones, inciud- ing East Brooklyn, (West Side). An other requirement. of the department is to be given shall be equipped with box for the reception of mail or a slot in the doCe. through which mail may be dropped A sample line of receptacles for mail, costing from ,25 cents to g each according to style inspection. All the requirements Ao1 the department relative to numbering houses, providing boxes, etc, must have been complied with four weeks before April 1.
 The street boxes for the mail collec- tlpIl5 nave UGGH TSCGlFSQ n6Fe, put without the steel standards for sup porting them, the absence of these and the inability of the department to furnish them at this time being among the reasons that prevent the establish ment of the service at the first of the year, as was intended.
 Not officially, but from other sources it is learned that some business men and institutions in the borough have taken action to prevent the establish ment of the service on the ground that their postage expense will be increas- ed by reason of the fact that they will be required to place a two cent stamp on all sealed letters for local de- livery, whereas this class of mail now requires only 8 cent stamp. Other business men, who, however, have taken no action to prevent the service being established for the greatest good of the greatest number, frankly state that they care nothing about it, fol it will continue to be more con- venience for them to get their mail as they do at present. The citizens who really want Gae service are expected t. petition in large numbers to offset the protests that have been very quietly made by the few who are register ing have registered their opposition tc it

It was stated at the local post office Thursday that the foreign money or- der business this year has been great CT to date than was the case last year.
