Hereafter anyone on a rural free de- livery route who wishes to have his mail delivered at his homo.n1ust have a mail box approved by the post office department. The box must be a sub stantial metal affair. The effect of the ned‘daw will be to do away with the present tin boxes. cigar boxes, wooden boxes, and almost every other kind of an affair which some have set tip in front of their residences as mail receptacles. The new ruling will by no means affect all of the residents along the routes, fer many have sub- stantial mail boxes which meet every requirement of the government. James E Camp of the Post Office Department. is accompanying Chaun- cey Brown. carrier on the Weston Ru ral Free Delivery route. today, for the purpose of informing those who are served on this route, and who have not the proper mail receptacles. that they most secure one of the twenty-five styles of boxes approved by the govern ment the time limit to secure them be- ing thirty days. The government ap- proved boxes ranging in price from 85 cents to $2.60. Mr. Camp has already accompanied Joseph London, the other rural deliv ery carrier from the Norwaik office. ov- er the Silvermlne route, and tomorrow will come to South Norwalk for the purpose of accompaning Carrier Sel- leck Waterbury, on the rural frcc de livery route, which starts from this office, and inform those whom it serves of the new government law. The government has found it neces sary to make this new law because of the large quantity of mail that has been lost from improper receptacles all over the country where the routes have been established. it is now just as much of a crime to tamper with 11 private mail box approved by the gov ernment as to do the same with a box on a street. but the government can not recognize the unstable boxes used by some of the people on the routes. Some have even gone so far as to set up boxes without covers. Carriers haVe had frequent experiences with those who use these kind of so called mail boxes. One carrier on a trip around his route came to a box of this sort and found lying on the bot- tom two pennies. He took them up and the next time around he asked the lady of the house if she had left that. sum of money in the box and if so for what. She lost no time in in» forming the carrier that she had also left a letter in the box and that the money was for a stamp. She became very indignant and matters waxed warm for a while until the letter was found several rode away where it had been carried by a gust of wind. Another carrier was driving along, and seeing some small white object in a nearby field, he decided to investi- gate and was not in the least sur- ' prised to find it was a letter.
