Two More Letter Carriers

At the time Ann Arbor secured two inounted letter carriers, j catión had been made for four additional carriers. The effort to secure the four did not stop with the securing of two, but hitherto has been without success. Only a week or so ago the postmaster received a decided refusal to assign the office two more carriers unless a better showing of their need was made. As the entire case had been made out, things looked dubious. This morning the postmaster received a private letter from Congressman Gorman stating that he had called upon First Assistant Postmaster General Jones, Saturday, and that his requcst for two additional carriers had been granted. The credit of making the showing necessary to secure the carriers thus belongs entirely to the congressman, who has evinced the greatest interest in securing a better carrier service for Ann Arbor. In the absence of official notice it is not known when the new carriers will be put on the force. One of them will be detailed as business carrier, and the number of deltveries on the business routes will be greatly increased.
