NEW RULES FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Patrons of Routes are Required to Display Signals on Mail Boxes. The following in regard to the rural delivery service have been received by Postmaster Williams:
1. On and after July 1, 1906, persons of the rural delivery service will be required to display signal on their boxes when they leave mail in them for the carrier to collect, as, after that date, carriers, when serving their routes, will not be required to open and examine any mail boxes except those to which they have mail to deliver and those on which signals are displayed to indicate there is mail for carriers to collect.
2. Those patrons whose boxes are not provided with signals must attach there to some device which, when displayed, will plainly show passing carriers there is mail to be collected. It is not necessary that such devices shall be either complicated or costly; a very simple arrangement will answer the purpose.
3. Carriers must lower the signals on boxes after making collections, provided no mail is left therein; and must display the signals when they deposit mail for the patrons, unless the patrons have made request to the contrary.
