CONSOLIDATING RURAL ROUTES
Postoffice Department Demanding
Auto Service, Longer Routes and
More PaY-Change at Milford

The postmaster at Milford has re-
ceived notice from the United States
Postal Department at Washington
that on September l two of the rural
delivery mail routes going out from
Milford will be consolidated into one
oO'mile route and the people on the
new route will be served by automo
bile delivery each day. The new
oriver will receive a salary of 81. 800
per year, which will effect a saving
of SIX hundred dollars each wear bv
the consolidation of the two routes.
each of which now receive 81. 200 per
year. The government requires the
man appointed to the position to
furnish and maintain the automobile
to be used in the daily delivery. and
to supply substitute that NAV be
necessary to effect the daily delivery
OF the mails, ss the result of bad
weather. bad roads, or for any ether
reason. In all parts of the United
States the experiment of consolidation
OF rural delivery is going on, and il
IS believed that the amount saved.
S6OO on each consolidation of two
routes, will enable the government
to increase the rural delivery of mail
without any increase in cost. There
will be more consultations in the near
future. and many mail route carriers
ere not so confident of their jobs as
they were only few weeks ago.
Whether this consolidation plan hits
