APPANOOSE CO. HIT
!. BY RETRENCHMENT
EIGHT RURAL CARRIERS TO BE
TAKEN OFF; THE REMAINING
ROUTES AVERAGE 80 MILES

Centerville, June 2.-Appanoose
county is to feel the retrenchment
policy of the postoff1ce department in
particularly marked degree after
June 16. On that date eight less rural
routes will be in operation in this
county. One route each will be taken
from Moulton, Unionville, Udell, Nor
avia, Plano, Numa, Cincinnati and Ex-
line. The only places left with their
Z former number of routes will be Cen
terville, Mystic and Dean. The remain
Ing routes will be heightened so they
will average nearly thirty miles each.
and there will be slight increase in
pay The five Centerville routes that
averaged twenty-five miles each will
after June 16 run from q So to 81 IA
miles.
This is said to be one of the first
of Iowa counties to be experimental
upon with the new policy, which will
be followed up in many other counties
of the state. One peculiar thing about
putting this into operation has been
that it has all been done by blue prints
In the Offices at Washington without
any one coming onto the ground to
make personal inspection of the con-
dition of roads or topography of the
country. The rural carriers are antici-
pating many difficulties in making
the changes.
