Why should Yorkville not have
city postal delivery instead of only
Village delivery? The receipts Of
the office are well within the limit re-
auired for city delivery, and since the
village delivery was established, the
town has spent considerably more than
100000 asphalting and concreting the
streets. The principal difference is
that the carriers under city delivery
system get more money than under a
village delivery system. The carriers
here do the work and they are entitled
to the pay.
