forbidden by the postofficc depart
ment. The parcels post bill carried with
it an appropriation of $300,000 for
vehicle hire necessary in delivering
packages in fire delivery offices, but
ns there are 1800 of these in the
United States graduated in volume
of business from Now York city, the
largest, to the great number of smal
ler ones, it necessarily follows that
the lesser of the free delivery offices
will have but little money to expend
for vehicle hire. Med ford's allotment

akcd to contribute something, either
in wearing apparel, food or money
to the wor of the city. These dona
tions will be announced at the exer
