 Communicated.
 In last weeks Press Mrs. Olive Walsh asked the question, if it was against the rules to "disturb' the clerks? If, as she insinuates, the clerk was taking a nap my unqualified answer would be that he should Ie disturbed by all means, and in way that he would have cause to remem- Der for some time. However I do not believe that this was the case. With the vast amount of work to be done in the office any man little or big has lit tie time to sleep or do anything else, except to attend to business. The clerk tells me that he saw Mrs. Walsh at the window and would have attended to her wants as soon as he had finished the money order he was writing for another person. In that case it was merely matter of wait ing her turn. We should of course have a person in front of each win dow every hour of the day, but as things stand now, this is practically impossible for a short period each day. However there is always some one near the call window, and anyone who goes up to the window and calls for the number wanted will get the best service we can give. The large amount of business incoming and out going, which is increasing daily, makes the service of the public eX tremely difficult at times, but we are using our best efforts to make the same as satisfactory as possible. The real need is city delivery. The people are entitled to it, and I am working my hardest to put it through. This would help the congestion at the OlllCo dllu dSSu1S yOu OI yOuI uldll uC- livered at your residence daily Per haps the wishes of the public express ed collectively to the department would help to make this a reality. Among the public we have many friends who come to us with cheer ful good morning." and we are glad to see them and will give them, as well as all other patrons of the office, the best service possible. If you have any complaints bring them quiet ly to the postmaster and they will have my attention. In regard to the communication of B. c. B., in regard to the Union route, it is getting mo- body anything to advertise the post master in the columns of the local paper. The postmaster is here about ten hours each day to receive any and all complaints in regard to the ser vice, but cannot act on rumors receiv ed from here, there and everywhere. The first intimation received at this ton, at least since the snow left the ground, was the day before the pub licatiOn of The Press, when a party from the route came to the window and remarked that "the carrier wasn't getting to Union Town much lately" Any complaints that you may have will Le promptly forwarded to the department Forward complaints in regard to the R F. D., in writing. I will sign my name and (not my initials).
