Postmaster II. A. Sctneider re
ceived a letter from the department
at Washington relative to the condi
tion of the city's sidewalks and num
bers on the houses and other mat
ter's pertaining to the free delivery
proposition. The government will
not grant free delivery to a city un
til its walks are in condition to ac
commodate the mail carriers. While
the walks on the main thoroughfares
are in reasonably good condition, yet
the cross walks are not, and those
places w here the w alks are dangerous
and where there are no walks wtll
not have their mail delivered, as the
carriers will not bo required to either
risk, their lives or walk in the mud
(if we have any.)
It would be well for citizens and
officials to get to work in earnest and
put in the cross walks so that our
city may be In the rank where it be
longs. Some of the outlying streets
are overgrown with weeds, and the
walks with missing boards and rot
ten stringers dangerous to limb and
life.
