ARM FOR MAIL BOX
PREVENTS DAMAGE

Mailboxes fastened to a long arm
swung from the top of a post are
suggested by maintenance men of the
State Highway department as a
means of preventing destruction of
boxes and posts by highway snow
plows.
Every effort is made to avoid dam
aging mail boxes, bulletin from the
department states, but sometimes in
jury is unavoidable. Snow flying
in front of the pillow may obscure the
drivers view, or the mail box may
be covered by drifts. Placing the
post farther from the edge of the
road, with the box on an arm if
necessary, is suggested.
The highway department has made
no ruling fixing the distance boxes
must be placed from the travelled
portion of the highway, but leaves
this to the judgment of box owners.
The postoffice department has no fixed
rule, except that the box must be
placed so that the mail carrier can
reach it without dismounting. Plac-
ing the box farther away from the
roadway may make it necessary to
shovel a clearance for the mail car
rier, but it will make the mail box
more secure and also lessen the
carriers risk of being hit by passing
machines.
