MORE BUSINESS DELIVERIES
West Side Business Houses to Have
Three Deliveries Changes to Become
Effective After November IS
Residences Must Have Mail Boxes.

Uncle Sam is awake to the fact that
Kenosha is a growing city. Recently
Postmaster German received a postal
order authorizing the addition of two
mail carriers to the force of the local
office to extend the delivery system to
the farthest limits of the city. The
new mailmen are to make their initial
rounds on November 18th, at which time
several other new regulations will be
put into force. The extension of the
mail service is to affect many of the
residents on the south and west out
skirts of the city as shown by the fol-
lowing territory which after the above
date is to receive free delivery:
Tanck avenue from Charles street
east to Rowland avenue; Rowland ave-
nue. from Lester street south to the city
limits; all territory bounded on the
north by Collins street, on the west by
Pleasant street, on the south by the
city limits and on the east by Garfield
street and Sheridan road.
Postmaster German has not yet COM
pleted the routing of the mail carriers
for the two new routes, but this will
be completed long before next Thurs
day when the first letters will be
handed out on the regular rounds. The
postal altha4f' eFe urping all the
residents affected by the new order to
comply with the request of the postal
department. that every house which
wishes to be benefited by the new de-
hveries must be equipped with some
sort of receptacle for the mail and
carriers are ordered not to deliver the
mail where patrons refuse to provide
these. The announcement of the new
routes was received with enthusiasm at
the post office, because it recognized
the great increase in Kenosha popula-
ton in this part of the city and be-
cause it will help in solving the crowded
condition Of the box and window de-
liveries at the office.
Simultaneous with the order for the
establishment of the new routes came
the ruling that after November 18th,
the West Side business district will be
entitled to three deliveries of mail each
day similar to the down town business
district This has long been sought by
the West Side merchants and while it
will not cause the addition Of another
carrier to the service, will possibly re-
suit in the changing of the routes of
several of the carriers.
In announcing the changes in the
local system, Postmaster German took
the opportunity to make suggestions to
the patrons of the Kenosaa office which
if followed, will help materially in i'm
proving the service here. "Some of the
oldest patrons of the local office could
help to make the mail service in Ke-
nosha even better than it is" said
Postmaster German. "We now have
system which is giving good service,
but if the patrons-every one of them
would see to it that Shey have mail
boxes accessible for the carriers, it
would enable the carrier to proceed
much faster and give the same service
to the last person on the route as to
the first It is the aim of the Post
Office to give the best service possible
and the public is invited to report to
the postmaster the name of any carrier,
who loiters on his route--if there is one
or of anyone connected with the post
office, who in the performance of his
duties fails to be courteous, civil,
prompt and abliging With this CO.
operation, we can continue to give to
Kenosha a mail service of which shs
may well be proud. "
