Although there wro more than
300 empty mall boxos in the Dend
postotflco immediately aftor tho
chango to tho carrier delivery system
this spring, there aro now CO houso
holder on tho waiting list, Postmas
ter W.)IL Hudson raports, whllo np-i
plications for carrier service aro 10
times ns great ns thoso for box privi
leges. All combination boxes hnvo
boon taken and of tho 210 key boxes
which were unrented nftor tho
chango In tho distribution system,
only 100 nro now vncant. Tho chief
reason for this, Mr. Hudson says, Is
that it han been found Imposslblo to
dnto, in splto of repeated trials, to
obtain keys to fit tho locks.
"Tlioro can be no question that
Hand's population is greatly in excess
of thnt.reported nt tho tlino tho cen
sus was taken, " tho postmaster said,
"nnd, nut onjy thnt, but thovnumbcr
or. poopio is sieauiiy growing. Too
quick tenting of tho boxes vacated In
tho spring Is, of courso, duo in part
to tho fact that many who lived be
yond tho carrier limits mado prompt
application, but tho increasing num
ber of residents in tho outlying parts
of tho city, who aro asking to bo
put on a carrier routo, cannot be
explained In tho snmo way.
City KcttliiiK Ilnpidly.
"Ilcnd is settling up very rapidly.
I hnvo observed this personally In re
cant trips over the mall routes. I
BhouldJIko to extend carrier delivery
to take caro of tho many new res!
dents, but extension Is hampered by
tha lack of sldowalks."
Mr. Hudson has sent a shipment of
misfit keys back to tho factory for
tho third tlmo nnd hopes that ho
will shortly bo ablo to furnish boxes
to
tho waiting applicants. Hy tho
ond of tho year, ho believes, all boxes
will bo. takcu nnd there will bo an
other waiting list.
