RURAL DELIVERY ABUSES.
Carriers Served Interests of Private Individu
als Too Much.
Washington, July 10. — Already
abuses have sprung up in the rural
free delivery service, and prompt steps
are being taken to prevent their
spread, if not stamp them out alto
gether. Under a recent order of the
postoffice department, carriers on
rural routes were granted permission
to deliver and carry packages for per
sons living along the routes. Com
plaints soon piled in that many car
riers, acting under this order, have
been making it a practice to deliver
or sell goods along their routes, which
were furnished by merchants, grocery
men or liquor dealers, who sought
this means of reaching rural custom
ers. This manner of business, on a
small scale, would, perhaps, have
been unobjectionable, but in a num-
her of instances the carriers became so
industrious in attending to their out
side deliveries that they neglected
their mails, and in consequence a
second order has now been issued
prohibiting rural carriers from engag
ing in any other bsuiness while per
forming their duties as carrier*. This
was merely a case of privilege abused
by the few. and in consequence de
nied to all. There were many routes
where carriers conducted this outside
business in an unobjectionable man
ner, but they will be affected.
