According to the postal laws, Farm
ington is entitled to free mail deliv-
cry in this city whenever the receipts
of the local postoffice reach $4,000
for the sale of postage stamps. Dur
ing the last fiscal year, which ended
on the Both of June, 1916, the receipts
of this office fell only little short
of the amount required to entitle TINS
city to free delivery, and for the three
quarters, ending March 30th, of the
present year, the sale of postage
stamps at this Office amounted to ST.
5S5.
Thus it will be seen that if the sales
of postage continues for the present
quarter as large as it was during the
past three quarters of the year, the
amount for the year will exceed $10,-
600. The records of this office, how
ever, show that the present quarter
ordinarily is the slimmest of the year
in the sale of postage, and that unless
little effort is made in this regard,
the receipts of the office may again
fall little short of the amount re-
uuired to secure free delivery.
Is it not worth little effort to Sc
cure free mail delivery in Farming
ton? 1t would require but slight in
crease in the sale of postage, which
could easily be taken up by a lew
business men, who could make small
remittances in stamps, instead of in
cash, thereby making up any possible
deficit that may be necessary, with,
out costing them an extra penny, and
the stamps would probably be as wei
come as the cash to those who may
receive them. ;,
Is free delivery worth this small
effort, think you? OF what advantage
would it be, you ask! Certainly yot
have never given the subject any
thought, if you ask such question
Can YOU estimate how many families
in this city would be daily accommo

What Is It?

The st. Francois County Railway
fthe Electric line) seems to have been
transformed into regular railroad
and is operated as such by the nj. X.
& B. T. r. R. Co, Formerly it ran
all cars connecting with trains of the
M. R & B. T. and the Iron Mountain
railroads through the city of Farm
ington. Now they are connecting
with two or more trains on the M. Il.
& B. T. railroad, but their cars start
from the depot in Pennington, and
do not go through that portion Of the
city between the State Hospital gate
and the depot. Query: Is it rail
road or "a street car line? If it is 8
railroad, which it seems to be as it is
operated, then the fare to Flat River
which is eight miles, ought to be /
cents instead of 80 cents, as charged
If it is street car line, then it shoulf
be run as such and its cars &c
through the city without discrimina'
ton. Am | right? -

Oiling the Streets

The work of giving the streets OF
Pennington another coat OF oil mas
been in progress all this week, and
that splendid improvement is now
nearly completed. All OF the prlncl-
pal streets of the city will nave peen;,
or will be, gone over by the new oil
sprinkler, which is doing most excel
lent work. One of the inestimable
benefits that will result from this work
is that this city will be practically
free from dust the ensuing summer,
SO that the work of keeping houses
and stores clean will be reduced to a
minimum.
Mayor Mckinney informed a Times
reporter that two large tanks had
been received. for this work, which
he estimated would be practically
enough to properly perform the
sprinkling desired. The cost OF this
oil was something over $l,100, and
he thinks it would be impossible to
make a better investment that would
result in SO much coed to Farming
ton. The people generally feel this
way about it, as was indicated in the
subscriptions to this fund. Many cit.
izens did not wait to be seen by tht
solicitors, but voluntarily came in ant
paid over their money, stating thai
they were glad to assist in such work
II requires four horses to haul th'
sprinkler, and the work will probabl!
be finished this week. A strong fiov
of oil was turned on, which is esti
mated to be sufficient to keep tn
streets in splendid condition for th
next twelve months. 1t puts tn
streets in ideal condition for travel
especially for autoing. and there is n
dust trail left to suffocate the resi-
dents "by the side of the road"

+ FARMINGTON CAN GET
FREE MAIL DELIVERY
All That is Necessary is to Keep Post
Office Receipts Up for the Last
Quarter to $2,417

Do you know how many others do
not get their mail more than once or
twice week, simply because of the
inconvenience to them of coming to
the postoffice, or getting others to IN
quire for them?
If you would permit your thoughts
to play along such fines a little, then
it is likely that no such questions
would be asked. But that is not all
the advantage that free delivery would
be to Pennington. Another thing
that Just now occurs to the writer is
that it would furnish two or more
very desirable positions as carriers,
with fair remuneration, and would
mean good living to at least two
families; and there would probably
be another man to handle the parcel
post deliveries, which would bring
the extra payroll from free delivery
up to at least $4,000, approximately.
All Of this can easily be secured
without the outlay Of one cent OF eX-
pense, and all that will be required
will be Just little cooperation on
the part of a few citizens, to see that
this years postoffice business is suf-
ficiently large to entitle this city to
the establishment Of free postal de-
livery, which, as above indicated, car
be accomplished simply by the pay
ment Of few of their smaller bills
with postage stamps. Free delivery
would not only be splendid adver'
tisement for this city, but it would b(
of even more direct and tangible ben
eft in increasing the revenues com
ing into this city by several thou
sand dollars each year. But someone
must have directing hand in this
matter, to see that this golden oppor
tunity is not overlooked. Then thu
only other thing that will be neces
sary to have free delivery instituted
is the numbering of the houses. Don
put yourself in the Observation" lis
by asking sis it worth while? ?" Walk
up, and you will know it is wort
while. Then grab it!
