Mail has been delivered there between and o'clock evenings and although the custom has been discon- tinued in nearly all offices for some years past it is only recently the order was issued for this office. At vari- ous times records of business at this window has been taken with the re- suits that only a small percentage of the callers receive mail and very lit i tie of it classed as business, the rule relative to carrier service is as fol- lows:
 Postmasters are not required to withdraw mail in the course of deliv-
 cry by carrier in order to deliver it to callers (mail is considered to be in course of delivery as soon as u has been distributed to the carrier).
