KEEP ROADS CLEAR
 FOR R. F. D. CARRIERS.
Postal Department Advises That
 Towns Must Do Their Part.

Connecticut towns where rural mail trips because the authorities neglected to clear snow from the highways have received the following letter:
 Postoffice Department Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,
 Washington, Feb. 12, 1914. Road Supervisors:
 Gentlemen-The department has been reliably informed that many of the roads over which rural service is in operation in Connecticut are being permitted to become unsuitable for travel, rendering it difficult for the rural carriers to perform service over their entire routes in the time allotted by their schedules. The department requires all roads over which rural service is in operation to be main tained in fit passable condition for travel by carriers with celerity and safety at all seasons of the year, and where a community displays so little interest in the maintenance of good roads as to allow them to fall into disrepair, serious consideration will be given to the permanent withdrawal of rural service therefrom. The matter has been taken up with the postmaster of , and he has been advised of the requirements and requested to re- port such roads as become impossible and unfit to be used as post roads. Respectfully,
 JAMES s. BLAKSLBY, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
 In the letter inclosed to the postmas- ters it was suggested that this matter be brought before 8 town meeting if the road supervisors continued to neg lect the roads.
