We Must Wait Thirty Days

WE MUST WAIT THIRTY DAYS

YPSILANTI COMES FIRST FOR FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

SPECIAL AGENT IS HERE.

He is Inspecting a Route Out of the City of Ypsilanti Today.

Ypsilanti, Mich., Aug. 15. - (From a staff correspondent). - Congressman Henry Smith is in the city today and is in company with the special post office agent from Washington, who is in the city to inspect the proposed rural mail delivery routes. It is expected that two will be granted and it is quite certain that at least one will be established. Today they are inspecting the route southwest from the city.

Ypsilanti's petition was received by the postmaster-general July 24, the same date Ann Arbor's was received, but the former was opened first and therefore takes precedence.

The department ordered the agent to Grand Rapids last night but as he was in Ypsilanti he remains to conclude his work there. Ann Arbor must wait 30 days before he can go over the proposed route, but he does not hesitate to say that if the system is wanted it will be granted. He has recommended free rural mail delivery for Grass Lake.
