 Postmaster John O'Rourke states that for a city of its size Willimantic receives lSconsiderable mail that is impossible to deliver. Each day at the Office 75 Or 100 | letters are received that cannot be deliv- cred owing to various causes, such as iHeEible addresses, penciled addresses that have become obliterated in the course of much handling, failure to mark state address, or failure to mark street address. Mail marked in this manner is often unbelievable and after much trou- 5ie to the mail carriers and clerks is sent to the dead letter office.
