it was a regulation never as strictly
enforced as the present postmaster
general has directed, In the past
many Trojans have had portion of
their mail delivered in this way.
The Hays administration has mott.
fled the local postmasters, as we'll as
others throughout the country, that
the regulation must be strictly en-.
forced and the privilege is being
taken from those who cannot enjoy
it under the regulations. Postmaster
Burns said last night.
THE only person who should have
his or her mail sent addressed gen
eral delivery is the person who tray
els, If a man is going to Utica and
does not know just where he will
stop when he gets there, it is right for
him to have his mail sent to him gen

at certain address, he must have his
mail sent there"
