Not Yet Known Who the Carriers
Will Be New System of Registra
tion of Letters Comes With the
Rural Delivery Street Addresses
Required.
Nothing has been heard from the
result of the examinations sent in
of the applicants for letter carriers
for the free delivery, which is to be
established the 1st of July. The ex
aminations were made the 7th lust,
and it was expected that tho result
would be telegraphed back so that
the accepted applicants could at once
begin-preparing themselves for their
work and familiarizing themselves
with what they were supposed to do.
The returns aro looked for overy
day and tho local postofilce is ready
to begin its course of .instructions to
tho lucky carriers. Several changes
have beon made in the postoilico
room. A room has been partitioned
off at the north side of the room for
the carriers in which they will sort
and route their mail as It is thrown
to them by the regular clerks who
sort the mail as it comes into tho
office. Another delivery window has
been installed and at busy times two
clerks will deliver mail to patrons
of the office instead of one.
New System of Registration.
Instructions have been received at
the local office from the postal de
partment saying that with the estab
lishment of tho lTee delivery the now
system of registration of letters by
carriers would be inaugurated. It
may frequently happen that patrons
of the free delivery will have letters
to register and would like to bo able
to do so without having to go to the
ppstofflce. Under the now rules,
where there is free delivery, this
may now be done. The person want
ing to send a registered letter will
have the money that it costs to regis
ter the letter, or the stamps, and
when the carrier comes around on his
calls he will take the letter and re
ceipt to the sender for it just the
same as if it was being done at tho
office. Following is an excerpt from
the letter of instructions sent tho lo
cal office from tho department:
"For tho present, or at least until
in your judgment and sound discre
tion, it may be advisable to make ex
tensions, the (registration by car
riers) system will be confined to the
purely residential districts in your
city, excluding, even in them, busi
ness houses, and patrons who, as a
rule, will have many letters at one
time for registration. The business
houses and all others in a residential
district should, however, be' included
in the service as soon as possible;
and extensions will, of course, be
made as soon as tho conditions will
permit, until the whole field, as far
as practicable, is covered."
Carriers Must Be Courteous.
Carriers are required to bo careful,
courteous and attentive at all times,
and to encourage tho registration of
valuable letters. Any derelection in
this duty will be looked after and re
ported to the department. They must
spend no more time on their routes
than is absolutely necessary and
while they are required to bo gen
tlemanly to their patrons they are
positively forbidden to engage in dis
cusslon with any one while attending
to their duties.
Street Addresses on Letters.
It Is the desire of 'the local post-
office that every one who has corres
pendents and will receive mail by the
free delivery should instruct those
writing to them to put tho number
of their place and tho street on the
letters. If the letter is to be deliver
ed at "No. 606 West Alta streets
this should be on tho letter as it will
greatly facilitate the sorting and
routing of mall and make tho work
much easior for those in the office,
as well as tho carrlors.
