The post office department has called for proposals for performing service on all the mail routes in Tillamook county. The contract is for four years, from July 1st, 1892, and the bids must reach the second assistant postmaster general at Washington, D.C., by 3rd of December, 1901. As the proposals contain a num her of new' features which are of special interest to the general public, it will not be out of place to acquaint our readers of the contemplated improvements. Must Reside Contiguous to Route. There is one thing connected with the new proposals for carrying mail which all will gladly appreciation, that of de barring a syndicate from securing a con tract for carrying the mail lor the pur pose of subcontracting, for in future no bid submitted will be considered unless the bidder shall agree that in the event of the service being awarded to him lie will reside on or contiguous to the route, so we are glad to see the pernicious system of making mail routes a matter of trade and barter knocked in the head. It was not conducive to good mail service, and the post office department acted wisely in putting in a provision which disarms the syndicate. Those who want to pack Uncle Sam’s mail will not be scared about putting in bids now, for they would rather do business direct with the department than with contrac tors who gobbled up the routes for the purpose of gain. Free Delivery on M til Routes. son providing either should see that it is of such character as to afford ample protection to his mail, If there is a lock attached to the box, a key is not to be held by the carrier, as lie is expected to deposit the mail without the necessity of unlocking the box. The box or crane should be so located on the roadside that the carrier can deposit the mail without leaving his vehicle or horse, and yet not where it will obstruct public travel. The carrier is not required to collect mail from the boxes, but there is no ob jection to his doing so if it docs not inter fere with his making the schedule time. The law provides that every carrier of the mail shall receive any mail matter presented to him if properly prepaid by stamps, and deliver the same for mailing at the next post-office at which he arrives, but that no fees shall be allowed him therefor. Delivery of mail by star-route carriers will not be permitted over such portions of star routes as may have in operation the rural free-deliverv service, except as an additional or supplemental service when shown to be necessary and practi cable. The Mail Routes in Tillamook. Below we give a list of the mail routes to be let in this county, which in most cases gives the amount of money that contractor receives for carrying the mail as well as what the subcontractor re ceives. As each of these routeswill be made free deli very under the above con ditions, this is a move in the right direc tion and will benefit a large number of people along the line of route.
