Postmaster Smith advises us that he
expects post Office Inspector here
most any day to go over the city, with
a view to extending the city carrier
delivery service, and that in all proba-
bility there will be at least four routes
established, if not FIVE. In this con-
nection it may be well to state that
many patrons Of the Office cannot un-
derstand why the city delivery SER
vice is not extended to. their neigh
borhood, and the rule applying is
that continuous sidewalks, and cross
ing must be in, along the proposed
route before action will be taken.
