Since the Inauguration of the rural
carrier system in connection with the
s local p~ostofice there has been a gen
eral misunderstanding regarding the
rules under which the carrier works.
t It has been customary for local parties
s having parcels, etc, going into the
country to look up the carrier cover
ing that particular territory and have
:, him take it out. Postmaster Woldy
is determined to stop this practice, and
asks us to print the following para
graph from the postal regulations.
d "Rural Carriers shall not carry,
+ when on duty, any package composed
entirely Of malable matter weighing
eleven pounds or less Except ranked
+ and other matter entitled under the
laws Of free transportation) unless
postage shall have been paid thereon
: at regular rate. Admissible matter
t shall be properly prepared for mailing
and carried only n the mails.
