EDGEWATER NEWS

Postmaster G. E. Spicer is not
overly we'll pleased with the new
order Of things whereby Wheat
ridge postotfice gets rural route
No. l. In the first place out Of
about 1856 cards sent out asking
the patrons of rural route No. l
to express their wishes in the
matter only about 232 responded
out of which 143 were for the
change and SO were against, at
least this is approximately the
ratio. This leaves about 100
who did not respond. Now they
are beginning to wake up to tie
fact that they are not getting
their mail so promptly. The roa,
son for this is largely because l.
bout an average of 300 hundred
pieces of mail continues to come
to Edgewater and has to be re-
turned or forwarded to Wheat
ridge which takes a couple Of
days to reach them. Naturally
this makes them sore. The
change will reduce the revenue
of the Edgewater Office about
$500 per year. However, Mr..
Spicer has been hustling up lit
tie new business and hopes to
cover the greater part Of the de-
ficiency with new business. One
thing that seems a little inconsis-
tent is that the change is costing
the department $500 more in Or
der to maintain the star route
between Wheatridge and Alcott
Station, according to Mr., Spicer,
and the rural carrier is compelled
to take a $1,000 cut in salary.
Another thing, the patrons do
not get their mail any sooner as
it does not reach the Wheatridge
Office as early as it did Edgewat-
err and the carrier begins to
throw the mail about the same
time he would have been leaving
Edgewater.
