TWO EXTRA COLLECTIONS

Recognizing Brunswick's steady
growth and acting upon the recon.
mendations of Postmaster Leavy, the
postotfice department has just author
lied general Improvement in the
city delivery service. which means
that Brunswick patrons of the post
office are to have the best service
that has ever been afforded them.
The extended service will be inau-
gurated tomorrow morning, and ii
will include the addition of an aux.
iliary mail carrier an extension o.
the city delivery service, both north
and south, the erection of new mail
boxes, provision for two extra collec-,
tions of mail daily. or rather for
collection in time to catch every i'm
portant mail train departing from the
city, including the S:13 Southern at
night, and the delivery by special
carrier of all heavy parcel post mail
Although the postmaster has been
working for this improvement for the
past several months, it was not un-
Ill the business of the local office
showed a continual growth that it
was allowed, and it means a great
deal towards giving the people of
Brunswick up to the minute postal
service.
The extension of the city delivery
will include that territory north of
N to o streets. from Newcastle to
Wolf streets, and south will take in
from Second to Fifth avenue, between
Newcastle and Bay streets, including
all of the industrial plants recently
established along the river front, as
we'll as a number of houses in the
territory.
The new auxiliary carrier, who will
be J. P. Monroe, connected with the
office for many years, will make two
connections of mail daily ! He will
start out at 5 O'Clock each morning
and collect every mail box in the city
in order that it may be dispatched on
7:50. Another collection will be made
beginning at 6 O'Clock in the after
noon, this collection covering only the
business district and one or two of
the most important residential boxes
and will be completed in time to be
dispatched ON the S:13 Southern
train
The auxiliary carrier will also de-
liver all parcel post packages of un-
usual size, relieving the regular car
riers of this work This means that
these packages will hereafter be de-
livered almost Immediately after their
arrival
In this connection, Postmaster
Leavy requests the people of the city
to cooperate in the effort to prevent
congestion of outgoing mail at the
office at night. Since the mail clerk
was discontinued on the Southern
train, putting to an end the mailing
of letters on the train at night, many
have waited until the last minute to
mail their letters. and on two or three
days the mail has been almost beyond
the control of the mailing force. The
people are therefore urgently request
ed to get in their mail as early as
possible. Quite number have also
made a practice of rushing to the rear
Of the postoffice after the mail had
closed and requesting clerks to get
their mail off This practice will no.
be tolerated in the future, and peo-
pie will be strictly prohibited from
coming into the rear door OF the Of
flee.
