 IMPROVE POSTAL SERVICE
 The entire postal delivery system of Ensley will undergo change Monday when the routes here will be remade and two new carriers as signed to regular routes.
 Aside from the new carriers the changes are made necessary because of the order from Washington re- Iieving Ensley of that portion of the city of Fairfield which has always been served by the Ensley office; The territory includes streets and avenues into the city of Fairfield as far as Forty-first street, which required several hours of carriers time to handle. Following the order from Washington giving that terri tory to Fairfield, the Ensley office prepared to cut off the service from Ensley.
 It was stated that there will be little territory added to some routes and some taken from the others in the reassignments and that EnsleS may expect and will receive much better service as result or the changes.
