sion of Brain, Condition is We'll.
 Commencing July I, the resident
 of Broadview, located at the east cnt
 of the town, will have q mail deliver,
 service.
 The families in that section were
 heretofore forced to call at the pos
 office for their letters on account O
 the delivery service ending at Eas
 and East Broad streets. This dstric
 which is growing rapidly, is a new
 part of Plainville and the majority O.
 the residents there are employed a
 the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing
 company. There will be about 5(
 families who will benefit by the new | service. Gordon D. Harrison, mai
 carrier for the east end of the town ! will have charge of that branch un. | til other changes are made.
 ] The postal authorities at Washing
 ton were notified of the desired serv-
 ice some time ago and favored the
 plan of embracing this section of the
 town The postmaster is awaiting
 word from them now in regards to ether plans proposed, such as the in | tallation of parcel post delivery. A delivery for the eastern sectior of the town has always been the de. | sire of the postmaster here and with | in short time, the people of Noun .ain View may soon sec the deliver. installed there also. Mountain Niev
 is now taken care of on a small scalt by the rural carrier, but some parts 0 that section are omitted from hi route. The Landers, Frary and Clark com l rany has been approached on th' l matter of having a roadway bui there which would reach out { Whites crossing and thus eliminai the blank ends of streets. This wi enable the postman to go down or
 itreet and up the new road to q other street. Former Postmastt Peter J. Prior was instrumental planning such a delivery which w evidently be followed up by the ne office holder.
 A parcel post service has also bee
 ong sought by the taxpayers wht have seen the need of such a deliver for some time now At the presen, time, the mail carriers are obliged tc handle what packages they can, pro .iding they are no larger than shoe box and not too heavy. Other large md heavier packages are called for 1t the office. In the event a nev ,arcel past service can be installed, i, is possible that an extra carrier wi Le asked for to care for that branch
 A map, showing the locations ot new mail boxes in the town, has beer posted in the office that the peopl' may become acquainted with thost 'ecently installed. A new box ha been erected at East and BroaG streets which will care for the servicc Tt Broadview and the east end of th town.
