OPPOSED TO MOTOR ROUTES.
Congressman Nichols Will Investi-
gate Motor Route Possibilities.
(Spartanburg Herald, 1Sth.D


The proposed establishment Of
motor rural free mail deliveries in
Spartanburg county supplanting the
present delivery by horse and buggy,
Will be personally Investigated by
Congressman Sam J. Nichols during
his visit to this section in the next
few days, according to letter re-
ceivcd from him by a friend here yes
terday.
Mr.. Nichols has voiced opposition
to the establishment OF the motor de-
l1veries here and is making efforts, it
is understood here. to have the de-
partment reconsider it's decision to
establish motor routes. Just what
the outcome Of the situation will be,
or course, is purely matter Of srec-
ulation, although the civil service
commission has already announced
examinations to be held here to fill
the positions which will be open when
the routes are established.
According to q letter received from
Congressman Nichols, he will be at
home during the holidays and will go
over the motor rural route situation
with the rural letter carriers Of this
district. He will communicate with
carriers and inform them Of the date
on which he can meet and confer
with them
While it is not fully understood
here just what the postal department
expects to do in regard to the opera
ton or motor rural routes, it is evil
dent that the plan is to be at least
tried out here, and that Spartanburg
viii be the first county in the State
i'll which the experiment is made
According to recent reports issued
by the postal department, a number
OF such motor routes have been ps-
tablished in various parts of the
country and appear to be very salts
factory and to show an increased eff
ticiency in mail deliveries.
Would Rcadiust Routes.
The standard rural free delivery
mail loute is now q miles long, and
carriers covering the distances are
paid salaries OF POO per year. The
standard motor route, however, is
from 80 to "a miles, and tie carrier
is 10 be paid salary Of from 1900
to $500 per annum, and will be re-
Quired to furnish and mairtain his
own motor vehicle. The motor route,
therefore would cover more than
twice the territory now served by the
standard route, and the department
is Of the opinion that the plan would
| give better mai! sci vice to larger
number Of rural patrons.
While complete plans have not
been announced, it is believed that
the department eventually expects
| under this system to abolish the five
| rural free delivery routes now in
| operation from the Spartanburg
| post Office and to substitute therefor
four motor routes, readiusting the
former routes so that all the terri
tory would be covered, and more in
addition, at about the same salary
expense.

constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
