Mass Meeting OF Shiawassee County
Citizens Protest Discontinuance
of Rural Routes.

The court room at Corunna was well
filled with men from all parts of Shis-
wassee county Saturday, in answer to
call for mass meeting to protest
against the discontinuance of rural
routes and service in Shiawassee coun-
ty. w. G. Stiff called the meeting to
order and j. N. Mcbride was made sec
retary. After much discussion and
some plain statements as to the political
side of the new order, committee was
appointed consisting of J. N. Mcbride.
Burton; A. Parmenter, Vernon; Jacob
Schautz, Owosso township; Frank
Towner, Morrice; John Teller. Hen.
derson; Edwin Splitter, New Lothrop.
The committee reported resolutions
which have been sent to Congressman
Fordney, the Michigan United States
Senators and the postoffice department
at Washington.
The resolutions are as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned committee,
representing citizens of Shiawassee
county assembled in meeting at Cor
unna this day, do earnestly protest
against the present rural route mail
service as entirely unsuited to our bust.
ness relations which have existed for
years.
Many miles now travelled by car.
riers are less populous thana routes
formerly served. The discrimination
against citizens and against business
centers is unjust and un. American.
1--WE ask your department general to
send a special representative to look
into the situation and confer with us or
to restore the former service.
1--WE believe that every town has a
natural territory for mail service and
that under the conditions at least one
carrier should be assigned to each post
Office, and that no post Office should be
discontinued.
1--WE further believe and know from
our knowledge of Michigan weather
and road conditions that for many
weeks of the year the present length
ened schedules are not only uneconomi-
cal but physically impossible to efficient
service
