Postmaster-General Courtelyoii in his
report made public today outlines a
policy of stricter adherence to the Icjjil
regulations of rural mail routes. Most
important to rural route patrons is his
inti-ntion to "discontinue without delay
any route where it is found on inspec
tion that because of a lack of apprecia
tion of the service the expenditure in
volved is unwarranted," and the an
nouncement that where patronage ia
