is self-expianatory
II beg leave to acknowledge the
recent of your communication OF
October 30. with attached petition
from the business men and citizena
Of Maypeari. relative 10 the rcadjust-
rent OF rural delivery service from
your city.
II lind that the establishment OF
motor vehicle route c out of Waxa-
hachie will result in Inconvenience
TO SIS families. who Will be required
10 move their boxes a very shcrt dis
lance. whereas ii will provide SER
vice 10 lo7 families within the coun-
Il. and also enable /; very large sec
ton OF the county TO have direct
connection with the county seat.
All this al a net reduction in the
cast of operation OF s1G.3ss per
year. which will be utilized for inn
prCvement and extension OF Tue
service In this county or eisewheee.
I'm this connection | may state
that would be pleased to receive
from the citizens Ct Maypearl. or any
ether community in Ellis county. a
recommendation for the establish
raent or extension of mail facilities
10 patrons who have heretofore been
denied the same. This desire o
extend facilities Is the underlying
reason for the reorganization OF the
service within tie county
Regarding the contention that
certain creeks ere impossible a.
times, II may be stated that the post
master al Waxahachie has been fur
nished with descriptions of the
route. TO be followed at such time
as the use OF Rotor vehicle service
IS rot practicable This description
provides for an auxiliary carrier. TO
be located ~ Maypearl, TO serve
that portion Of TIE territory nov
sesved By the Maypearl route, in
case weather OF road conditions
ahGuld prevent the regular carrier
from performing his fun tour of
duty
As 10 the second contention
To take away the only route from
Maypearl and compel The patrons to
b. served from Waxahachie viii inn
pair the service to the patrons.
have 10 say that The carrier on this
motor vehicle route will proceed
from Waxahachie 20 Maypearl and
there take M such mail as appears
for the patrons of former route No
out Of Maypear,. and with the ex-
ception OF the families livery few Ia
nrmber1 on about three miles Of
the route east of Maypearl, no pat
ron on the former route from your
office will be required to change his
address to Waxahachie Therefore.
the service viii not be Impaired
either in so far as il concerns the
patrons OF the route. or the business
establishments in the town OF May
pearl
AS to the third suggestion. that
motor vehicle route be established
from Maypearl to supply the terrific
r ROW served by routes coming
from several point to within a short
distance Of Maypoarl. it is shown
that such an Arrangement would not
materially improve the service and
would undoubtedly be objected to by
hose who prefer service from Waxa-
ahache, which is the county scat.
and a postal and trading center.
lceated on three lines of railroad.
This automobile route from Wax
ahachie mas been authorized on the
declarations Of representatives of the
department in the field that service
could be performed with motor ve-
hiele at least eleven months in the
year. All OF the roads to be utilized
have been regularly travelled by the
rural carriers for some years.
The county presents an excenent
illustration OF the results that can
be procured from readjustmenr %
rural delivery, To the end that "a
maximum service can be performed
al the minimum OF expense aud the
resultant g nomy utilized in the
establishment end extension OF mail
facilities 20 Thousands Of patrons
who are entitled 10 same but who
receive no confederation when the
funds available are absorbed in an
uueconomiral manner.
Yours very truly.
