POST OFFICE NEWS
national Maii Receptacle and House
Number Census Day

By direction of the Post Office De-
partmont at Washington q nation
wide campaign will be inauSurated
OH Wednesday, October 18th, with a
view to having every building prep.
erly numbered and equipped with Il
suitable receptacle for the delivery of
mail by city letter carriers.
Acting Postmaster CHARLES +. Mil
ler invites the attention of the pa
irons Of the W2terVillc post Office to
the advantages of providing facilities
for the receipt Of their mail by erect
ing conveniently accC sei bic boxes or
cutting suitable slots in their DOORS
Such action would enable the Water
Will" office to give a prompter and
better service. since the carriers can
cover much more territory in less
time if not compelled to wait for an
answer to their ring. Private r2cep-
tacles for mail are also a great con-
vcniencc to the householder. obriat-
ing the necessity of responding TO the
carriers call at inconvenient mo-
ments and permitting the safe de,iv-
cry of mail in the absence Of mem
bers Of the household, They also pre-
vent tho occasional necessity of q
carriers proceeding on his route
without delivering mail because Of
failure TO answer his ring within Il
reasonable time, and enable him to
make deliveries to patrons living on
or near the end of the route az an
earlier hour. Nc practice of nlac-
ing mail in vestibules, under doors, in
Railways. etc, where it is exposed to
theft and the elements is hazardous
highly valua BILE and important mail
1t has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits by patrons
of city delivery from the use of such
reeeptacles far outweigh the small
expense involved. AS the WaterviIle
office is interested in furnishing tho
best possible service at the least pos
sible expense, your compliance with
the foregoing suggestions will be ap-
preciated.
No one connected with the post Of
flee is authorized to act as agent for
boxes, and no particular style or type
of receptacle is required by the Pest
Office Department for CITY delivery
service. It may consist Of either Il
slot in the door. or a conveniently lo4
Gated box of any suitable material,

form to the system and style adopt
