HAS SUPPORT OF MGREKEAD
Chamber of Commerce Pushing Pro-'
ject and Reports Indicate Con
ditions Ripe For Success.
From Friday's Daily
The matter of securing free mail
delivery for the city of Plattsmouth
which has been discussed at different
times over a period of some ten years
now seems t obe near a successful
conclusion judging from the reports
received by the Chamber of Com
merce from Washington.
Hon. John H. Morehead, congress
man from the First district, has been
pushing the project on at the solici
tation of the local chamber of com
merce and has taken the matter up
with the office of the postmaster gen
eral where it has been looked into
and the department gives a very flat-
terine renort on the Dronosition that
this city be given the delivery which
it has so long been laboring for. I

has had a very thorough campaign of
numbering the residence and busi-
ness properties of the city and also
the placing of signs on the streets
both in the business and residence
sections and which will be installed
in the next tevr days and thus will
cover all of the requirements made
by the department.
In the reply of the assistant post
master general the matter is largely
placed up to the local postmaster and
if requirements of the department
have been complied with the post
master is requested to report the fact
to the department and the action of
the department in regard to install
ing the service will be the next step.
The free mail delivery will not on
ly be a great benefit to the residents
of the city in making it much more
convenient in receiving their mail,
but will also provide for the employ
ment of two carriers at least to han
dle the mail deliveries.
There are hundreds and thousands
of cities smaller than Plattsmouth
over the country that are now ranked
as free mail delivery cities and there
is no good rearon why this city
should not receive this benefit as
well if the proper and concerted ef
fort is made to land it.
For many years the lack ol proper
sidewalks was held out as one of the
reasons for not getting Lie service,
but this hrs been wiped out many
years ago in the miles o? permanent
walks t?iat stretch over the city and
now with the additional numbering
of the properties and the designation
of the streets there is every reason to
believe that free city mail delivery
is at hand.

the question of who has the right to

the city has followed the state law

the question comes: Shall the right
