DIXBORO ROUTE MUST BE CHANGED

In Regard to the Rural Delivery of Mail.

CONFLICTS WITH YPSI

And it is a Matter of Great Uncertainty When the Delivery will be Started.

Inspector Hanmer, who maps out free rural delivery routes for the general post office department, was in the city today. It seems that the Dixboro, or North route as laid out, conflicts with the north route running out of Ypsilanti in such a manner that carriers would traverse the same road for two or three miles and this is a thing that Uncle Sam does not allow. The Dixboro route will have to be changed in this particular.

Mr. Hammer was informed that it had been published in some papers that the rural delivery would be started of Ann Arbor on next Monday. This he said was not true and that it was a matter of great uncertainty as to when it would be started.
