Syndicate Contractors Knocked
Out-—Free Delivery of Mail
on Star Routes.
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.
