SIZE Of MAIL BOXES
!. TENANTS PROBLEM
Not Large Enough, Is Com
plant of Apartment House
Occupants.

Larger mail boxes in apartment
houses of Washington may result
from consideration being given the
matter by the Post Office Department
The Washington city post office has
at various times tried to solve the
problem, but has always been forced
TO leave the solution to the particular
carriers and the tenants of the apart
ment houses.
1t is claimed by some that the aver
age mail box in the average Wash
1ngton apartment is too small safely
TO hold the individuals mail. Off
Gals of the post office have always
felt this, but could do nothing
about it.
The average individual mail box in
an apartment here will hold the aver
stge-size letters, but long letter usu-
ally must be folded to be placed in
the box. Folding of letters has led
10 complaints from patrons on ac-
count of the folding.
Precaution Against Thefts.
Several years ago there occurred a
Srun' of thefts from letter boxes in
apartment houses here. One carrier
evolved the scheme of folding all let
tiers. so that they could be slipped into
the opening of the box and placed at
the bottom of the box beyond the
reach of prying fingers.
This action, done to safeguard the
letters, led to numerous complains
on the part of apartment tenants,
who objected to having the letters
creased.
1t is necessary in most cases to
leave long letters sticking out of the
tops of the boxes. it is declared,
whereas papers and magazines can
not go into the receptacleS at all.
These must be left above the boxes.
usually resting on the speaking
tubes which lead to the apartments
or left on the floor beneath the rows
of letter boxes.
If a carrier cannot get an article
in the box he is supposed to deliver
ii personally or to leave a card in
forming the patron that the mail is
at the city post Office for him. Such
procedure, however. leads to much
confusion and trouble, and car
Tiers usually have the permission of
tenants to leave such big mail on
the tops of the tubes.
Practice Leads to Losses.
This practice, however, leads to
lost newspapers and magazines. In
many cases children living in the
apartments have been accused of
tearing the magazines. Patrons OBJ
1ect to the folding of their magazines
TO cram one end into the letter box
as they do not look nice that way"
Ofhcials of the city post office be-
heve that larger letter boxes in
apartment houses will solve the
problem.

ELTON SAVES
HIGHWAY LAND
The Condemnation Action
Brought by Great North
ern Railway Dismissed.

States Attorney T. B. Elton, has
just succeeded in securing the dis
missal of an action brought by the
Great Northern Railway company
against Grand Forks county, and 9TH
ers. for the purpose of condemning
two strips of Land rs feet in width
adjoining the right Of way of the rail-
way company between Arvtlla and
Lartmore. The main public highway
to the west runs along the right of
way all the distance from Arvilla 10
Larimore, and if the action could
have been successfully maintained it
would have resulted in the condem-
nation for railroad purposes of abat
5000 feet of the road, which is one
of the most important and most ex-
tensiveay Travelled of Any highway in
the county. 1t is understood the rail-
way company desired the land for the
purpose Of protecting their track from
snow through the planting Of hedges.
The defense interposed by the county
was that the land vas already appro-
printed to a public use, having been
laid u and continuously Travelled as
a public highway for more than 80
years, and unless the railway company
could establish that the use to which
they intended to put the land was
more necessary than the use to which
1t was already appropriated. then the
land was not. subject to condemnation.
Upon this particular highway a
great deal Of work has been done and
much money expended in the past
few ear under the direction of the
State Highway commission and Coun-
ty Surveyor Ingram. It vas selected
