Reprinted From Daily Paper.

Apartment dwellers may get real
mail delivery ,at last.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Bartlett said today that IL everybody
in Washington would install mail
boxes at front doors, he thought the
department would be able to deliver
mail to each Individual apartment as
a result of the time saved by carriers.
This Is one Of the first develop
ments from the mo box.no mail or
der issued by Gov. Bartlett yesterday,
in which postmasters were instructed
to deliver no mail to new dwellings
without boxes.
At present the Washington city
post office does not accord individual
delivery to those who live in apart
ments, carriers merely placing letters
in the mail boxes in the first floor
entrance hall.
Postmaster Chance, for several
years. has been trying to induce the
Post Office Department to grant him
additional carriers, so that delivery
Of mail may be made to each apart
ment. from floor to floor.
The speeding up Of the mails, which
would accrue II every householder in
Washington, in old or new houses,

stop and ring -doorbells or wait for
maids to answer the doors.
Absence Of the home mail boxes

carrier in making the rounds of his
route.
Urges Patrons To Help.
1--WE have never enforced the home
mail box proposition, but the time
has come when we have to make q
move in that direction" Mr.. Bartlett
said. THE postal service Is intensely
cooperative, the patrons have their
part to play, and this Is one thing
they can do to help us help them"
Gov. Bartlett stated that in case
there were twelve new homes In a
row. and ten of the householders had
man receptacles installed at their
front, doors, and two Of them did not,
the obedient ten will get their mail,
but the disobedient two will have the
letter carrier pass them by.
