~ LIIMfiCh to Give WU,.ette ·Dram, /Jagle Corp& C··IHBI·· Do Due to the bad condition of the streets in the west section of the Village, where a sewer system is now in the process of instaUation, it has become necessary . to postpone inauguration of a mail delivery service for ' residents of that district pending improvement of conditions, it was announced by Postmaster Joseph C. Schantz this week. ,.While the department greatly regrets · that this is necessary," Mr. Schantz stated, "it has been deter·mined by actual test that it would be impossible for a carrier to drive a car over the streets in this section of the Village. As the route to be covered is very scattered and for that reason entails a large area to be covered, it would also be quite impossible for a man to deliver parcels and first class mail on foot." The service will be installed, Mr. Two Cars Damaged i~ Stephen A.
