WILL REC03DIEN1) EXTENSIONS
TO CARRIER DISTRICTS
One of the first moves to be made
by Postmaster McEvoy for the effi
ciency of the North Platto service, will
bo tho recommending of extensions to
tho present carrier districts. As nt
present mapped out the additional ter
ritory to be Included In tho districts
consists of sixty blocks, forty of which
nre north of the track and twenty
south of the track. The extensions In
tho Fourth ward cover quite an area In
the northeast and west and northwest
sections of tho city whllo tho extension
on the south aide would mnko tho de
livery extend to the south lino of tne
Taylor addition nnd add quite a num
ber of houses n the more extreme parts
of tho Banks' addition.
These extensions would add a nurn-!
her of miles of travel for tho carriers,
but it Is believed the present men
could do tho work without entailing
hardship to them.
Ths recommendation for the exten
sions will bo forwarded to hoadqunrt-
ors this week, nnd It is quite likely
they will be accepted and the extended
area authorized.
